I spent a few years working as a cook, from crappy catering companies all the way up to a michelin-starred restaurant. At every level, it was a known "rule" that one thing you should never attempt to make in house was...ketchup.

I had a friend that worked for Jean-George in new york and brought their steak sauce with him to the restaurant we were working at. I swear to god, we had to order all these specialty fucking ingredients and dump a ton of labor into this one condiment and then people would just ask for A1 (or Ketchup).

Some things just aren't worth the effort.

for a little extra kick, i like the ones that include a little cayenne pepper
