My dad ran a bbq restaurant when I was a kid in Colorado. He made a custom sauce that was the best anyone ever had. People would come from texas on vacation and eat there just for the sauce. The basis of the sauce was cattlemen's. I helped him make it when I was a kid. Good choice!
Some sauce trivia: Sweet Baby Ray's originated as a homemade sauce brewed by a competitor at Mike Royko's "Ribfest" in Chicago back in the early 1980s. Royko was a long time Chicago columnist and writer; he started his Ribfest to determine the best BBQed (baby back) ribs in Chicago. Ribfest started as an open competition... anyone could bring their set up to Grant Park in Chicago and Royko along with a handful of Mike's friends would sample ribs and determine the winner. Mike passed away, too soon, in 1997.
Based in the Chicago area Sweet Baby Ray's where he began They even have a little restaurant up in the northern suburbs near O'Hare airport where you can dine in.
My dad would make his own special sauce and, besides using it on traditional bar-b-que, he would brush it on mullet as he smoked it. His smoked mullet was a major favorite of all who tried it.
I know I’m not one of the potluck, but if you’re willing to send your good graces to the comments section here, I’d love to see a Bless Your Rank of creamy horseradish sauces- like what you’d use to dip prime rib into… I know it’s weird, but I’d love to pick your brain on the topic.
Sweet Baby Ray's makes a "no sugar added" version called Ray's, give it at try if you love BBQ sauce but try to avoid extra sugars. Bad by itself, great with food
I know, right? I like to put cocktail sausages in a crock pot, cover 'em with Old No. 7 flavor sauce (and add just few ounces of actual Old No. 7 whiskey) and let cook on low until the whole house smells like a distillery. Make sure you've got plenty of napkins!
@@davelewis2870 or you can just add Jack Daniels to your BBQ sauce and the problem and case is solved I do that all the time myself I even flavor chicken with bourbon as well, and that’s a really good base as a flavoring for grilling chicken
@@joshuatift4640 I've done that before, the new version of the JD bbq sauce is in grocery stores now actually, for under $5, instead of the almost $20 that amazon and the jack Daniel store was selling it for.
Two points I want to touch on: (1) I can't recall ever trying Cattleman's, but several of others have touched my taste buds. As is generally the case, my own opinions align with those presented by our professional tester. Kraft? Hard to imagine how they managed to make a BBQ that is bland, yet they did it. (2) Disclaimer: I am not saying that Pioneer Woman was the cause of any calamity; Rather, just presenting the facts for your consideration. A long time friend of the wife and me had a fixation on Pioneer Woman stuff. She would have bought a dog turd if it was P.W. branded, and she had Pioneer Woman crap all over her kitchen. Then, one night, this middle aged woman who seemed fine when she went to bed just died in her sleep. This is NOT a joke - true story. A connection between her death and something Pioneer Woman? I've no idea, but after the reaction to that sauce, I have to wonder.
Laughing my butt off on this one. Best lines: “is that a toe nail?” “If ya’ll keep buying it, she’ll keep making it” Matt’s complete revulsion of Pioneer’s was priceless, especially the blindfold test. The hidden gem was when he said “we’d get this at first dinner,” meaning there’s more than 3 squares in the meal plan....gotta love that!
When you reacted to Pioneer Woman, I just about howled! 🤣 Sweet Baby Ray's is the only barbecue sauce in my fridge. You can't serve grilled ribs or hamburgers without it. I sometimes make my own barbecue sauce, but have no way of putting an authentic smoky flavor into it. I settle for using a couple of teaspoons of Wright's hickory flavoring.
They must have gotten bought out by a bigger company. It definitely started with a restaurant in Charleston - one location downtown, another in Mt. Pleasant.
I realize that this may be heresy to many of you, but Sticky Fingers' Carolina Classic MUSTARD -based sauce is dynamite. Being from SC, that type of sauce is very popular here. If you can get it where you live, give it a try.
and who told her to put bbq sauce in a jar? what? she maybe has a southerner on her design staff who thought it was funny -it aint even a mason type jar or a salsa jar that you can use a tea glass -
For me the best BBQ sauce to ever touch something smoked is Head Country. Granted I've never found it for sale outside my home state of Oklahoma (it litters the grocery store isles out here though). Imagine a base flavor quite similar to Sweet Baby Ray's but just a little less sweet then also tangier, smokier and more spicy. I shared some with a retired Colonel while I was on Camp Lejeune who fancied himself a pit master and he quite liked it actually asking me where he could get more of it.
Stubbs is made in Lubbock, Texas, and "Head Country" is made in Ponca city, Oklahoma. You can enjoy either one of them without loosing your Southern card.
Sweet baby rays is honestly amazing and so glad you can easily get it at most stores. They also do a really good chicken dipping sauce too. I’m also now out of morbid curiosity wanting to try the pioneer woman sauce. I have to know how bad it is.
Those all suck. If you want to try the best BBQ sauce, you need to get Primal Kitchen Original Buffalo Sauce. I use it mostly for dipping. Criteria: No. #1 - Taste is awesome!; No. #2 - Thick for dipping; No. # 3 - Flavor and just the right amount of spice. Plus, it's made on the South Coast.
Came here to tell this man he needed to try STUBBS. I love the cooking kits - bbq sliders are the BOMB. I've lived in the Lubbock vicinity for 40 yrs. I would also keep Evie Mae's in my fridge if they bottled it but for now I'll just settle for it when I can make it by for a plate of their cue.
I love how fake that show is. "Pioneer woman" lmfao. They're RICH AS FUCK and they ain't in a wagon fighting native Americans or dealing with dysentery. Like she tries to make it seem like they have a rough n tumble life, but they're literally the 1% lol
Probably because that is the kind of sauce meant to be used to cook bbq, not to be eaten as a dipping sauce. Thick so it sticks to the meat and probably lots of salt and other things to get into the meat. Eating that straight would be like drinking a marinade. Yuck.
Living in Kansas City, we get a ton of different sauces here in the grocery. I like Sweet Baby Ray a lot and always have some on hand. KC Masterpiece is more like catsup around here; basic, relatively bland, a bit sweet, but okay tasting (my relatives in Europe like it as they don't eat a lot of spicy stuff). We also get Gates and Bryant's which are local and more vinegary than many KC style sauces. They also have more of a bite than most others here. I didn't like Cattlemen's the last time I had some, too generic tasting. Stubbs is really good when available in the grocery, problem is that it is hit or miss being on the grocery shelves. I've tried a lot of different sauces, but these are the ones that I can recall off the top of my head.
Bryant's sauce tastes like what you'd get if somebody in a Worcestershire sauce factory who had never tried BBQ sauce before had barbeque sauce described to him and decided to take a stab at it. It's not bad, but it is very different. Their "Sweet Heat" variety is a lot more like what I expect out of a KC style BBQ sauce.
No Stubbs? Look up Stubb's BBQ sauce. Very surprised and a little more than disappointed that you did not include this barbecue sauce. It's made in Texas. And I understand Lubbock Texas. Check it out
@@jarodh-m6099 yes of course. Back in Virginia they sold it in almost every grocery store and now I'm in Pennsylvania. You can find it all day long at Giant. Happy hunting. You won't regret it. A whole line of Stubb's BBQ sauce and Seasonings
One of the best BYR ever...him calling Sticky Fingers (and of course getting that coupon!), and his reaction to Pioneer Women...OMG I laughed so hard, and his reaction to it AGAIN during the blind tasting - I was crying laughing! 😂😂😂 You are the best, you personality, commentary and storytelling is beyond entertaining. You're awesome to watch, I'd watch you rank anything!!! 😊😊😊
Cattlemen's was at one point the "secret" sauce most non-bbq restaurants used years ago. It became popular enough that Frenches started selling it in stores.
Sticky Fingers: as soon as you read off "good on seafood" I said "that's a Yankee bbq sauce!" And then she answered the phone with an Indian accent and said they were Massachusetts based. 😳😳😂😂😂
The scary thing is that Sticky Fingers restaurants started in Mt. Pleasant, SC; & that’s still where the headquarters for the restaurant chain is located. So how the ever living hell did the sauce end up being headquartered up north?!
The tip to finding barbecue sauce is go to a grocery store and look for the sauce bottle that doesn't belong. It should have weird packaging and no marketing. If that's the case there is a different reason that that sauce is there, and that reason is taste.
I found the pioneer woman's bbq sauce at my discount grocery store where they send products to die and believe me it is NOT good! It's really really bad.
Fun Fact: if you've ever had (non-descript) BBQ Sauce in a restaurant, you've likely had Cattleman's BBQ sauce before. We used it in at least six or so restaurants and grocery stores that I worked at.
I will proudly say that I worked for Applebees 30 years ago, and Cattleman's was the sauce the rib baskets were dipped in. The sauce was better on the fries- TBH.
Next episode idea: Best of the Best (all items from past video’s that came in first) and Worst of the Worst (all items from past video’s that came in dead last)
Fun fact: The thick, sweet bbq sauces that you typically find in stores, that are typically good for dipping, are a variation of Kansas City style sauces. Barring a few exceptions, in order to get a true representation of other styles of sauces, you typically have to either have to special order, or make it yourself.

*Sucks in breath*

Cattleman's has pulled off being both the best AND the cheapest store-bought BBQ sauce. I especially like the Carolina mustard based one.
As a Native Tar Heel, every time I see the words Carolina style and mustard placed together it makes me grind my teeth.

Sweet Baby Ray's makes a "no sugar added" version called Ray's, give it at try if you love BBQ sauce but try to avoid extra sugars. Bad by itself, great with food
Sweet Baby Ray's is my favorite, but I always mix in some Grandma's molasses to bring down the sweetness.
The breakfast burrito episode made me check this one out. Edit to add: Pioneer Woman did not disappoint! 😂
BBQ sauce on shrimp skewers chargrilled …try it
I called Sweet Baby Rays before you started!😋❤

Oooo that ones good too, intense
They were my favorite, not sold any more, at least not that I can find. Checked their website,.they've got new bottles for like 5 times the price

The Queen of Black Friday, the Pioneer Lady.
Where’s the Stubbs?
YES!!! I was trying to remember the name before getting up to check the fridge, their mesquite is the best!
Yeah! That's what we use- mainly because we're keto and their sf sauce is pretty decent. If I'm not keto though, I too go for Sweet Baby Ray's.
@@secard4202 thats my hands-down favorite too! 🤤
I don't think it's available in the Alabama area but Head Country BBQ Sauce is the best bought sauce I know of...
The restaurant chain is from Mt Pleasant, SC. The bottling/selling of the sauce is out of Mass. LOL
stubbs is my favorite. highly recommend
This one is going to be divisive everyone is going to have a favorite and they might all be different in regions.
I’m not even southern, but I still say sir and ma’am to everyone 😂.
Me too, I grew up out West lol.
Should've added Mrs. Griffins mustard base bbq sauce
Amen on Sweet Baby Ray's
I live in Ohio and almost everyone I know eats Sweet baby rays.it’s a must!
Same here in North Dakota.
Kraft bbq sauce original is the best
BBQ Salmon. I would have been like minded but until you have had a smoked salmon with BBQ sandwich, it will shut you up!!
I went through a few sauces before I landed on sweet baby ray’s
Good shit
SWB is the best but Maulls is probably my 2nd favorite
My #1 is Head Country.
#2 Is Sweet Baby Ray's.
#3 is Oklahoma Joe's.
Hey have you done a video on can chili yet? That would be awsome and Roll Tide!!

One of the best BYR ever...him calling Sticky Fingers (and of course getting that coupon!), and his reaction to Pioneer Women...OMG I laughed so hard, and his reaction to it AGAIN during the blind tasting - I was crying laughing! 😂😂😂
You are the best, you personality, commentary and storytelling is beyond entertaining. You're awesome to watch, I'd watch you rank anything!!! 😊😊😊
YESSSSS I COMPLETELY AGREE
Cattlemen's was at one point the "secret" sauce most non-bbq restaurants used years ago. It became popular enough that Frenches started selling it in stores.
Most of Zaxby's bbq sauces are Cattlemen's brand.
I can confirm that this is true!
You are correct. We used it in my restaurant back in the 1995-2013 when we sold it. Everyone wanted to know our secret rib sauce...it was cattlemens.
I think Stubbs would crush all of these.
Yes!
Absolutely
Sweet baby ray’s is so good that you could do a ranking of just their flavors
Disagree, Montgomery inn bbq is way better
@@Arcticroberto9376 wow someone of culture haha. Figured that was too specific to Cincinnati, but that’s what I eat on any pork
I agree they make the best sauces
@@elijahmartini732 it is only in cinci area afaik.
Heil Sweet Baby Ray's!
Blind taste test "Pioneer woman"......🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sticky Fingers: as soon as you read off "good on seafood" I said "that's a Yankee bbq sauce!" And then she answered the phone with an Indian accent and said they were Massachusetts based. 😳😳😂😂😂
I hate sea food and I find that to be a disservice to any barbecue sauce
I didn’t catch an Indian accent lol, I thought she had that Memphis twang you know a little spicy, a little sweet, and a couple of pinches of salty 😂
@@valerief1231 Asian Indian or red indian??
The scary thing is that Sticky Fingers restaurants started in Mt. Pleasant, SC; & that’s still where the headquarters for the restaurant chain is located. So how the ever living hell did the sauce end up being headquartered up north?!
That's not an indian accent........
The tip to finding barbecue sauce is go to a grocery store and look for the sauce bottle that doesn't belong. It should have weird packaging and no marketing. If that's the case there is a different reason that that sauce is there, and that reason is taste.
I found the pioneer woman's bbq sauce at my discount grocery store where they send products to die and believe me it is NOT good! It's really really bad.
Fun Fact: if you've ever had (non-descript) BBQ Sauce in a restaurant, you've likely had Cattleman's BBQ sauce before. We used it in at least six or so restaurants and grocery stores that I worked at.
It’s also the basis for ALL Memphis in May BBQ fest teams because they double the prize money...
I will proudly say that I worked for Applebees 30 years ago, and Cattleman's was the sauce the rib baskets were dipped in. The sauce was better on the fries- TBH.
So is it the sauce Chick FIL A uses?
Ate KC Masterpiece until Sweet Baby Ray's came out
Next episode idea: Best of the Best (all items from past video’s that came in first) and Worst of the Worst (all items from past video’s that came in dead last)
Really need to try Oklahoma's Head Country BBQ sauce.
the best BBQ sauce
Stubbs is available everywhere
Yesssssss!
Hands down best bbq sauce.
That stuff is good too. Even if it is from Oklahoma!
As far as store-bought brands goes that’s a pretty decent lineup. Although, I really like stubs sticky sweet.
Stubbs is the only kind I buy. I am not a fan of Sweet Baby Rays, its too sweet with high fructose corn syrup.
These videos are so relatable. I live in the south, and it’s all true.
The Pioneer woman poisoned Matt’s tastebuds against SBR.
Sbr is what I use to bbq rare bird
Fun fact: The thick, sweet bbq sauces that you typically find in stores, that are typically good for dipping, are a variation of Kansas City style sauces. Barring a few exceptions, in order to get a true representation of other styles of sauces, you typically have to either have to special order, or make it yourself.
God bless this man who probably just ate the equivalent of a pound of sugar.
