The Five Best Dipping Sauces, According to Our Readers
Earlier this week, we asked our readers one of the most contentious questions you can ask a bunch of people just waiting to be pissed off: What’s the best dipping sauce? In response, the comments were expectedly heated. While some outright attacked me for my staunch anti-ranch position, others raised the fair assessment that my question was too vague to begin with.
What is the best sauce. It depends on what you’re dipping, right? Although I get where that argument comes from, I’m more inclined to agree with JescoWhite, a Kinja user who managed to articulate what I’d failed to:
You just haven’t tried hard enough. Dipping sauces are not, nor should they ever be single purpose.
Other commenters took a more combative approach, reporting me to the Kinja webmasters for my elegant prose.
But more importantly, some of our readers actually nominated their own dipping sauce of choice. This one’s for you, the flavor kings, queens, and everyone in between.
Whether you prefer to engulf a blooming onion at Outback Steakhouse or a generous serving of hand-battered tendies at home, here are your top dip picks.
I gotta go with Sweet Baby Ray’s. I’m partial to the Hickory & Brown Sugar version myself, but other flavors are pretty good too. Great for chicken, burgers, ribs, brisket, baked potatoes with bacon and cheese, even meatloaf if you make it right. Most grocery stores I’ve been to out west carry it, but if you can’t find it at yours you can go to www.sweetbabyrays.com. – JobiWan

I really love sweet and savory combinations, plus I’m a chilihead, so Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce is my go-to dipping, glazing, basting, dipping-my-finger sauce. It makes a great base for a spicy-sweet barbecue sauce and just about any other sauce where you’d want a sweet/spicy flavor (which for me is nearly all the sauces).
