The Origin Story: Boredom, BBQ, and a Family Recipe
Back in 2020, when much of the world hit pause during the early days of the pandemic, two friends — Matt "Bear" Burton and Brian "Burton" Burton (no relation, just coincidence!) — got bored. Real bored. Like "let's make our own Worcestershire sauce" bored.
Bear had an old family recipe, passed down from his grandfather who used to make his own Worcestershire back in the 1950s. It wasn’t fancy — just bold, real-deal flavor that didn’t taste watered down like the grocery store versions. Bear and Burton decided to tinker with it, adjust it slightly, and see if they could recreate that magic.
Their garage turned into a mad scientist lab. Friends and neighbors started asking for samples. Word of mouth exploded. Before they knew it, "Bear & Burton's W Sauce" had a local cult following—and they realized they had created something America was missing: a bold, flavorful Worcestershire sauce that actually made food taste better, not just saltier.
Today, Bear & Burton’s sauces are gaining national attention—and it all started with two friends, a grill, and a stubborn refusal to settle for boring flavor.
