The Evolution of TackSauce™

Chef Tack Bower was born in Mobile, Alabama, lived and grew up just north of Dauphin Island, AL

He left Mobile in 1975 to pursue a career in Culinary Arts. He attended the Southeast Institute of Culinary Arts in St. Augustine, FL. After graduating, he worked in various positions in the food service industry. In 1983, he returned to St. Augustine to teach at the culinary school. About this time he started making TackSauce for himself and his friends.In the last 20 years TackSauce™ has evolved to what it is today - a flavorfull hot sauce with a sweet start and a fiery finish. The American Culinary Federation in 1987 certified Chef Tack as a Certified Culinary Educator.

In 2000 Chef Tack renewed a relationship with his first love and the love of his life, Gayle. The first time Gayle had TackSauce™ she asked why she couldn’t buy it in the local grocery stores? With that question on his mind, Chef Tack moved to Pensacola, Fl. to be with Gayle and to bring TackSauce™ to the public.

In January 2001, Chef Tack formed PRH Enterprises, LLC with Gayle, his son Tack Jr. from Mobile and his daughter Annie from Neptune Beach, FL.

TackSauce™ has been in production since then. It is being used and sold in several different markets from gourmet shops to Farmer’s Markets and everywhere in between. It makes a wonderful sauce for seafood dips and many other types of sauce. Visit our recipes section for more creative TackSauce™ ideas.
