  I’ve found that basically all commercial ranch (hidden valley) is mostly just soybean oil and doesn’t taste like shit.

  A local pizza joint to me has custom made ranch that is unironically amazing. YMMV.

    Homemade ranch (or at least, mixed up on site for restaurants) can be really good. There’s a bar near me that serves a great ranch with their buffalo wings. The thick, globby stuff in the bottles is never lives up to expectations.

      Nothing wrong with thick, if it’s got good flavor. I wish I had gotten Po’ Folks (a southern food restaurant chain local to me) ranch dressing recipe before it went out of business during the pandemic. It actually had identifiable chunks of minced carrot etc. suspended in it.

      I miss it so much, along with a few other things from that place, that I’m almost motivated to try to track down somebody who used to work there and remembers.

        You can Google and find results for that ranch recipe. Not sure how it compares to the original.

    Yup. I’ve never had a good mass produced Ranch. Homemade Ranch is crazy good.

    Maybe this is just the American within me speaking, but I unironically enjoy comercial sauces. If it was disgusting, no one would buy them.

    Is the local place Jet’s? People go crazy for their ranch around here

      No it’s a locally owned pizzeria that has a secret recipe. I’ve been told it’s primarily a lard base.

    I love ranch sauce.

    This is not about ranch sauce specifically, but i found a good channel (FoodParables) which has a video for making your own ranch seasoning at home. If it’s of interest. Linked on the channel name in brackets

  I tried some Paul Newman’s Ranch once, never having had ranch before. It was bloody awful!
