Best New Rhody-Made Condiment
Sauce On The Side
Cowboy Ketchup has plenty of lime juice, but it's the smoky barbecue taste that hits you first. And when a Heinz-for-life guy admits he'd use it on French fries, you know it's good! Produced by Linda Kane and Aimee Fontaine for their enterprise called SAUCE ON THE SIDE, the ketchup is made in small batches with the surprise of anchovies in its recipe. The Sauce gals also make Rhode Island Red — "hot sauce with an attitude" — from fresh, hand-mashed habañeros. The carrots in the hot sauce keep it from having a tongue-numbing fieriness, and they give it a distinctive sweetness that plays against the jalapeños and habañeros. The ingredient "love" (on the label) may actually be the most important thing in both Sauce On the Side products. | Available at Eastside Marketplace, Dave's Marketplace, Brigido's Fresh Market, Venda Ravioli, Only in Rhode Island, and Whole Foods Market | 401.662.9614 or 401.662.7409 | sauceontheside.com
