Getting Saucy in Chicago

Things are getting saucy in Chicago. Chef-made bottled sauces are more prominent than ever, allowing customers to take a piece of potent restaurant flavor home to their pantries. Or if they’re feeling generous, to give as gifts. From a bourbon barrel-aged barbecue sauce to a whole line of zesty hot sauces, here are some saucy bottles to pick up this weekend.
