A desire for a job with more flexibility led Becca Bunger to talk to her future father-in-law, Marlin Schroeder, about opening a restaurant at 204 First Street in Shelton, just north of the business district. Schroeder, who previously operated a restaurant at that location, his son, Justin, and Justin’s fiance, Becca, with her daughter Lena, and Marlin's mother, Irma Schroeder, decided on a family approach to a restaurant and Get Sauced BBQ and Catering was born. Marlin has smoked meat for some time and the restaurant uses family recipes which Becca's young daughter Baylea and son Briggsley, will likely learn when they are older. “How many places can you go where great-grandma makes two of your sides,” Becca said. Get Sauced offers shredded pork, chicken and beef sandwiches as well as nachos, smoked sausage, loaded potatoes, cheesy potatoes, baked beans, mac and cheese, slawsa, potato salad and occasionally brisket and ribs. Marlin smokes the meats, Irma makes the potato salad and beans, Justin makes the barbecue sauces, and Becca makes all other items and manages the business and day-to-day duties. Hours are 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and catering is available at any time by calling (308)850-7032.
