    Dipping Sauces (2 oz)

    • Hunt's Ketchup (2 packets)

      I'm a damned Brown's Fan, raised on the acidic ambrosia of Hunt's Ketchup, shunning the cursed creation from Pittsburgh known as Heinz. Hunt's carries a mouth-watering acidity that eclipses any trace of sweetness. Whereas Heinz sickly-sweet grip suffocates the taste buds. Compare the two ketchups in terms of sugar: Per each one-tablespoon serving, Heinz has 4 grams of total sugars and 4 grams of added sugars. Hunt’s, by contrast, has 3 grams of sugar per tablespoon. Hunt's, the renegade of the ketchup realm, enchants with its acidic waltz, defying norms with its modest sweetness.
    • Hellmann's Mayo

      They call it Best Foods on this side of the Mississippi River, but I grew up with Hellmann's Mayo in Akron, Ohio and think it's simply the best. Hell even Julia Child agrees, Hellmann's is the only brand worth using!
      $1.25

    • Spicy Remoulade

      Remoulade (pronounced reh-moo-lahd) is a classic mayonnaise-based sauce, which originated in France. Louisiana was the U.S. state that made it popular, though, and you won't find many food joints (if any) around Louisiana that don't serve their version with some deep-fried battered seafood. Our version utilizes the shop-made Mustard, Hellmann's Mayo, pickled jalapeños, pickled onions, horseradish and some secrets we're not inclined to reveal. :-) But honestly, I dip EVERYTHING in this sauce!
      $1.25
    • Yuzu Mayo

      A classic table condiment found throughout Japan, Yuzu Kosho has become a secret ingredient of America's finest chefs.
