Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory & Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce

Sweet Baby Ray's is a world-renowned barbecue sauce brand that originated in Chicago, Illinois. The brand was founded in 1985 by Larry Raymond, who developed his signature sauce for a local cooking contest. Its rapid success led to the brand's acquisition in 2005 by Ken's Foods, Inc., a family-owned company based in Massachusetts.

Today, the product is primarily manufactured in the United States, utilizing facilities in Georgia, Massachusetts, and Nevada to meet global demand. While it remains a staple of American grilling culture, the brand is exported internationally through various distributors. The "The Sauce is the Boss!" slogan has become synonymous with its rich, sweet, and smoky flavor profiles.
