What Is Era's Favorite Dipping Sauce, And Why Bbq Sauce Should Be Banned
- Thread starter Angie
- Start date
Whatever that mystical "restaurant ranch" is, that any restaurant has when you ask for ranch, but nothing you can buy off the shelf tastes anywhere close.
I've even tried to make it myself, because everyone says that's the trick, but I only successfully made something that tasted like the bottled stuff, which is pretty meh by comparison. I still don't know what the secret to "restaurant ranch" is.
Right below that I'd put whatever the "campfire" sauce is from Red Robin. I'm pretty sure it's a barbecue sauce/mayo mixture but I don't know the ratio.
Probably honey mustard below that.
Below that I stop counting. Ketchup is fine, I guess. Cheese dip (if by that we mean "queso") is god-tier but pretty much limited to "Mexican" food.
The others in the poll are good or even great as condiments, but I've hardly or never used them as dipping sauces, so I can't rank them.

While true, most dipping BBQ sauces that you'd get from a restaurant tend to be of the ketchup+molasses+liquid smoke type.
Just noticed yesterday they have these with salad dressing instead of the aisle with condiments at the grocery store I go to. Apparently even they are like "wtf are these."Lets at least all agree that each of these 3 dips are awful abominations.
Mayo + Mustard
Mayo + Ketchup
Mayo + BBQ Sauce
Depends on what I'm eating, but one of my favorite dipping sauces is one that I mix myself:
- 2 Parts Shoyu
- 1 Part Sesame Oil
- 1 Part Mirin
- 1 Part Rice Vinegar
- 1 Part Gochujang
- Sprinkling of Fresh Scallion Greens
Also works great as a marinade - especially shrimp. Though be warned, don't let the shrimp sit for longer than a couple hours or the acid will fuck up the texture and make it taste rubbery.

Nah, if you get anything from there it should be the honey mustard. Although mixing their honey mustard and ranch is very good, too. Still peeved they got rid of the Queensland salad I'd do that with, but then they had to close up shop here when they couldn't afford the rent. I like to pretend that's why, even though I really miss having one around in general.
Some of you feel no shame in supporting bigotry lmao
OT: can confirm BBQ sauce is nasty

It's very good. I generally go for their Hot Mustard until I remember I also like their sweet and sour sauce.
Supercharged Sauce, aka Finger-Lickin' sauce in not Australia. This copycat recipe is just better though.
That being said, I love me a good BBQ/Mayo mix. Especially Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce.

What are yall dipping into these sauces?
I find Papa John's gross so the only thing we dip at our house is probably nuggets and fries and pita.
For pita it's hummus or tsatziki. For fries we generally use ketchup. And only the kids eat nuggets and I prefer sweet and sour they like ketchup or BBQ.

Gochujang
Heroes the lot of you.
Want to add Ssamjang to this list too.
The GOAT.
Also, BBQ haters need better BBQ sauce, bleu cheese sucks, and Chic Fil A sauce is weak too.
Given that Port Of Subs has a bomb ass combination of Mayo-mustard blended as dressing for their sandwich, I disagree with this. Haven't tried Heinz mayo-mustard, but if it's anything close to Port of Subs, it's allowed to exist.Lets at least all agree that each of these 3 dips are awful abominations.

no one wants to hear this but it is a great dip for fries

Do they? The stores around here just stick them randomly at the endcaps or random places in the back.
