Y’all Company FAQ & Glossary Drafts
1. What is Jezebel Sauce?
Jezebel sauce is a classic Southern condiment with a fiery personality. Traditionally made with mustard, apple jelly, pineapple, and a kick of horseradish, it’s the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy. In Mississippi and across the South, families have served Jezebel with ham, pork tenderloin, or cream cheese and crackers for generations.
At Y’all Company, we bottle that tradition with our own Jezebel sauce — keeping the bold flavors alive while making it easy to enjoy anytime. It’s one of the South’s best-kept secrets, now ready for your table.
👉 Try it with: smoked pork, cream cheese + crackers, fried chicken, or as a glaze on roasted vegetables.
2. What is Comeback Sauce?
Comeback sauce is Mississippi’s answer to ketchup, ranch, and thousand island — all rolled into one. It’s creamy, tangy, slightly spicy, and truly goes with everything.
The name says it all: once you try it, you’ll “come back” for more. Traditionally made with mayo, ketchup, and spices, it’s served with fried foods, salads, sandwiches, and seafood across the South.
At Y’all Company, we craft our Comeback sauce with a cleaner ingredient list but the same addictive flavor.
👉 Try it with: onion rings, shrimp po’boys, French fries, chicken tenders, or as a burger sauce.
3. What is Henry Bain Sauce?
Henry Bain sauce is a Kentucky classic, born at the Pendennis Club in Louisville in the late 1800s. Created by headwaiter Henry Bain, this sauce blends chutney, ketchup, Worcestershire, and a mix of spices into a tangy, savory steak sauce that became legendary.
At Y’all Company, our Henry Bain sauce honors that tradition while making it available outside of Kentucky supper clubs. It’s rich, tangy, and perfectly made for red meat.
👉 Try it with: prime rib, steak, roast beef sandwiches, or as a dipping sauce for charcuterie.
