I think this is nitpicky. Ketchup is used in a lot of sauces. That sweet and sour sauce you get at the Chinese buffet is probably mostly ketchup. They sell cinnamon sugar in stores, and that's just repackaging cinnamon mixed in with sugar.

This is Babish's BBQ sauce for example

Considering most of the other ingredients are also in ketchup, if you have some kind of pathological avoidance of using anything premade, you could substitute tomatoes and/or tomato paste for the ketchup, puree it yourself, and just slightly increase the onion, vinegar, and sugar, or maybe partially or wholly substitute something like blackstrap molasses for the sugar.

Or do a prior step where you make homemade ketchup first.

Most recipes just straight up list ketchup though.

So he mentioned at the start of the orange chicken video that people were ordering and ordering his spice mixes on the website but they were out of stock.

How does that make sense? Did they order something that is out of stock? Or is it interest in it? Someone is not telling the truth I think.

Who even produces his sauces? Surely not him personally. I wouldn’t trust anything the Lord of Salmonella had touched.

You can order a 4 pack, and you can choose choose from his Teriyaki/BBQ/Hot BBQ/Jamaican Jerk/Dry Seasoning.

His metrics for calling something "lazy man" is entirely arbitrary. If you're going to go to the effort of coating something with egg and flour and frying it, you might as well spend 5 extra minutes making a good sauce.

Did you guys watch all his recent chat video? He brags about giving advice to restaurants on how to make their food better.

Is he not aware that Panda Express sells their own licensed orange sauce in stores? If you're gonna be lazy, go full tilt.

Then again, this is the fucking guy that is adamant that extra virgin olive oil becomes refined olive oil by heating it up on the stove, so color me shocked I guess?

Making it himself would be the smart thing to do, so I'm going to say no, he doesn't. Since he lost his arm it's pretty much impossible for him to do it himself now without putting more work on his wife or dragging his children into the business.

Did you not read the previous 263 pages in this thread? If you did, you'd have your answer.

Just kidding, but yeah a few people including myself have tried his sauce. It's not good. It's basically just a sugar paste. It uses a weird thickener that I don't think is listed on the ingredient label. I think it's corn starch or something similar because it's not a thick liquid, it kinda breaks apart like jello.

It's on Amazon, at $8 a bottle it sure isn't cheap. Most of the reviews are positive, one must assume that they're well acquainted with Jack and he asked them to give a nice review. This 1-Star Review sticks out to me though

Got gifted this sauce from a friend who was a fan of the show and we made some bbq with this sauce. Was not a fan of the flavor. I saw how much it cost on Amazon and I just had to make a review. This sauce is absolutely not worth the outrageous price. You can get other overpriced sauce for this price- but at least that will taste decent. This one costs more than what restaurants around me in KC charge for their own personal sauces- and this one tastes mediocre at best.

Stick with the Heinz for your garbage brand of bbq sauce.

pretty sure he filters out the reviews on the amazon page

if you go back you can see there were far more 1 star reviews a year ago or so (likely from people like us who love shitting on jack) but after that its basically all 5 star reviews

So back in 2002, Jack tried to make it big on the music distribution scene by sending free CDs of unknown musicians for the price of shipping. He predicted that putting music online would be a disaster saying that people would never rent music over the internet... He also seemed to think that CDs would be around forever and that nothing could replace them.

He's not very good at foreseeing outcomes, is he?
