Bold. Unique. Delicious.

 These aren’t just flavors of our products, they’re the traits that define this company.

Founded by the visionary, versatile, and uncompromising “Rock & Roll Chef” Matthew Venzke, Black Cat sauces reflect his intensity and global palate. From 5 star kitchens across the U.S. to sought after destinations in East Asia, Matthew has created innovative and authentic dishes that are emphatically modern, yet pay homage to tradition.

Nearly 20 years ago, Matt began a journey that started in Los Angeles and took him around the world. From midwestern breweries to Japanese tourist destinations, Matt’s cuisine has spanned cultures and continents, defined by his own innate curiosity and sense of adventure. But “Rock & Roll Chef” isn’t just a moniker, it’s a lifestyle. When he’s not in the kitchen, Matthew can be found on stage playing bass or saxophone. Improvisational, organic, inclusive, and… yeah, spicy. That’s Black Cat Sauce Co.
