Tacticalories, a Carolina sauce company, was born from grit, a few thousand dollars, and a craving for something better. At its core is a fierce devotion to flavor and the people who want more from their spice rack. Founder, Chris, tapped into his love of cooking and community to build something relatable and rugged. This seasoning brand speaks directly to those who see food as fuel, tradition, and craft.
His motivation? Offering something real. Not just another trendy blend, but handcrafted seasonings and sauces that connect with everyday cooks, grillmasters, hunters, and meal-preppers who demand both performance and personality from their pantry staples. Tacticalories exists to bring back the kind of bold, dependable flavor that reminds you of why you fell in love with cooking in the first place.

More Than a Brand. A Movement.
Tacticalories doesn’t follow food trends; it follows its audience. These blends are for real life: seasoning meat by headlamp, tossing together a campfire meal, or spicing up a weeknight dinner with no time to spare. That mindset drives their small-batch approach and refusal to cut corners. No fluff, no filler. Just flavor that works. It’s made for those who want every meal to matter.
Built Through Struggle, Driven by Vision
Growing a brand from scratch isn’t easy. Visibility has been a challenge, but so has life itself. This isn’t just a business; it’s a mission. Every jar and bottle symbolizes dedication, not just to flavor but to resilience.
The team sees their products hitting shelves in national chains like Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, and Walmart in the coming years. But even as Tacticalories scales, its foundation remains: strength, authenticity, and a strong respect for flavor.
For those who live boldly and cook the same way, Tacticalories has one message: compromise belongs nowhere near your plate.
