Love's BBQ
Love's Barbecue was a favorite in California. There is no actual recipe for their basting sauce on the Internet as far as I know.
There is a scan of Love's menu and a possible sauce recipe here: Old LA Restaurants
You can buy their bottled sauce here: Love's BBQ
There are a few Love's recipes or clones on my site:
Love's BBQ Beans
Love's Baked Beans
Love's BBQ Chicken & BBQ Sauce
Love's BBQ Cole Slaw
Love's BBQ Rib Glaze
