Kevin's Natural Foods and Bussin' with the Boys Take Flavor Rivalry on the Road with the Sauce Showdown


Kevin's Natural Foods, the brand making clean eating easy and delicious, continues their partnership with Bussin' With the Boys co-hosts and former NFL pros Will Compton and Taylor Lewan to bring big flavor and a little friendly competition to football fans throughout the season: Team Teriyaki or Team Cilantro Lime?

This fall, the Sauce Showdown rivalry is hitting the road on the Bussin' Tailgate Tour, stopping at select college football games where fans can taste both flavors and vote for their favorite: Teriyaki Sauce, Lewan's pick, or Cilantro Lime Sauce, Compton's pick. Both are delicious, wildly popular flavors featured across Kevin's product lines, but only one can take home the Sauce Showdown title.

Fans nationwide can join the fun by purchasing Kevin's limited-edition Game Day Grill Pack, available exclusively on Amazon and at KevinsNaturalFoods.com. Votes can be cast online or in person at one of the Bussin' Tailgate Tour college football stops:

  • Saturday, September 5 – Clemson University at Louisiana State University
  • Saturday, September 26 – University of Texas at University of Tennessee
  • Saturday, October 11 - Indiana University at University of Nebraska
  • Saturday, October 17 - Arizona State at Texas Tech

Once the tour wraps and the final vote is counted, the winner will earn ultimate bragging rights, and Kevin's will donate $10,000 to the winner's charity of choice: Tennessee Local Food for Will Compton or Wags & Walks for Taylor Lewan. The loser? He'll suit up in the winner's alma mater jersey, showcasing their own University of Nebraska versus University of Michigan feud and deliver a public concession speech declaring the other the official Sauce Showdown winner. There may be only one Sauce Showdown champ, but the bragging rights will last long after the final vote.

"We're stoked for the Sauce Showdown with Kevin's," said Will Compton. "Taylor and I are naturally competitive, so we each chose our favorite sauce and put it all on the line. Now, it's up to the fans to crown the winner—and I'm riding with Cilantro Lime all the way."

As part of Kevin’s Natural Foods’ Sauce Showdown, Compton is backing Kevin's Cilantro Lime sauce while Lewan is Team Teriyaki. Fans can taste both sauces and vote for their favorite, helping determine which former NFL star earns bragging rights at the end of the tour.
