Specialty Food Association

Immersive New Flavors Join the Mantis BBQ Line

(Scarsdale, NY) February 06, 2023 – Mantis BBQ introduces two new items, Mantis BBQ “Dust” and Mantis Ghostly Glaze, to its robust flavor line. The two new varieties will be featured at the 2023 NBBQA National Conference February 15-18 in Orlando, FL along with Mantis’ initial collection of Mantis Original, A Whisper of Chile (pepper), and a Haunt of Ghost (pepper). 

“We added these boosts of flavor to raise awareness. The zest of everyday life is something we want everyone to enjoy,” said Andy Mantis, co-founder of Mantis BBQ.

10% of all Mantis BBQ sales go directly to The Kidney Project, in support of artificial kidney development, a permanent solution to help millions of people facing kidney failure lead a more flexible lifestyle, without dialysis.

While most consumers will use Mantis BBQ products for barbecuing and seasoning meat, poultry or fish, the products are designed to be enjoyed for other creative culinary purposes, as ingredients used in dips, on popcorn, waffles and for ice cream toppings.
