Another long one, kiddos! But this time my BFF Andy joins me - he's always a hoot! **Edited to add: Based on some of the comments, some of you think I believe that Sweet Baby Ray’s sauce at 18g of carbs is “low carb.” Y’all know me better than that! We always include one “regular” version of whatever we’re tasting as a control in the experiment. If you watched the whole video you saw that it was removed from the final ranking and was in no way considered low carb. Give me SOME credit, friends.** For those that can't find the video description box, I'll include the list below of the products we tested. *PRODUCTS WE TESTED* AlternaSweets Original Sweet & Smokey BBQ Sauce: amzn.to/2TgO1Of Primal Kitchen Golden BBQ Sauce: amzn.to/2HEZ69D Historic Lynchburg Gourmet Deli & Grillin' Sauce: amzn.to/2UJMJwA Primal Kitchen Classic BBQ Sauce: amzn.to/2HEZ69D Keto Dave's Gourmet Carolina BBQ Sauce: amzn.to/2HEZpRP Simple Girl Country Sweet BBQ Sauce: amzn.to/2Th4Fgz Guy's Award Winning Original BBQ Sauce: amzn.to/2CrYosR Guy Gone Keto BBQ Sauce - Hickory Smoke: amzn.to/2Y7HoBt G.

That was a great and well done video!!! I love it! Thanks for testing all these brands and giving us your imput. I will be ordering your #1 pick. QUESTION: Will you be testing homemade bbq sauce any time soon?
Whoa guys😮!!! Thank you so much for loving our BBQ Sauce😋🔥! We're honored to be your favorite and we hope to impress you and this wonderful community (that we're part of) with each new product that we bring out! Thank you so much❤️❤️!
Thanks, AlternaSweets! I’ve heard many great things about your products. Glad to finally get a chance to taste and experience them! As you know, this was a completely blind tasting. We had no idea what was what. We only give our honest opinions to what we were tasting. But your sauce sure came out on top! Delicious. I realize now we could get it MUCH cheaper on your website. As well as Netrition. Keep up the awesome work. Can’t wait to see more from you!! ❤️
Not that anyone asked lol but, I just use Heinz reduced sugar ketchup (1 gram carb per tablespoon) mustard, worsteshire sauce, garlic/onion seasoning, Sukrin brown sugar replacement to and I'm done. I dont measure since Ive made it so much I just eyeball it. I don't like spicy so this works great for me but adding 'hotness' I'm sure is easy enough. I absolutely love this sauce and make enough to fill a squeeze bottle full. it doesnt go 'bad' and is delicious and cheap! :) it comes out to roughly 1 net gram carb per tsp.
Sounds great! I do something very similar in my Cola BBQ Sauce recipe, it just adds a can of Zevia as the sweetener. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Carla! :-)
I have a meatloaf recipe that has a similar topping recipe - ketchup, mustard powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and brown sugar. I'm going to try to adapt it with sukrin for a bbq sauce recipe.
I just found your channel and I must admit. I'm glad I did. I have been on my own weight loss journey for about 6 months now and I'm down 40lbs. Switching to a ketogenic lifestyle has a lot to do with it. I've gone back and watched a lot of your older videos and I happened to watch your 30k subscriber Q&A. I have to say that I have a lot of respect for you and this journey that you are on. To me your like the everyman, someone that the average Joe can relate to. I think this has a lot to do with your success on this platform. I'm not saying that your average, you are most certainly above average in your ability to relate to people and your caring nature. Just keep doing what you do. Your helping more people than you know to make positive changes in their lives. Peace brother.
@@HighfalutinLowCarb I'm just keeping it real. Recently went through a divorce that ravaged my life. When I watch your videos I see nothing but positive energy and an honesty that I seldom see in any RU-vid video. You have a passion for cooking that comes through. Sorry for my long responses...I'll cut this off before it turns into an email!
I could watch your videos everyday. I just LOVE your personality and the great recommendations you give to us keto folks. Please keep the videos coming!
Thanks, Ma Bel! (I’ve often heard people say that the Walden Farms pancake syrup is the only product they make that’s good. Maybe we will find out! LOL)
I'd love to hear an updated review of Sweet Baby Ray's New Sugar Free BBQ it actually has less net carbs than any of these AND it uses Allulose so it taste damn near identical to regular rays
Highfalutin' Low Carb no thank you finished watching and add the winner to my amazon cart. You officially saved BBQ this summer. Keep up the great work and ideas
I have never tried any other low-carb barbecue sauces. There may be something out there that’s better, and I will be looking into the ones that scored high on this challenge
All Day I Dream About Food has a terrific recipe for BBQ sauce that has that thick texture. It is delicious. Maybe do another BBQ sauce recipe cook off.
With love from Russia so we cook keto sauce romesco in russia 🤗 Prepare the sauce romesko🤗 Bake Bulgarian pepper and garlic in the oven (25 minutes at 200 ° C) 5 minutes before readiness add a tomato to them. Peel the peels and seeds. We mix: Bulgarian pepper Garlic Tomato Sponge Apple vinegar 1 tbsp 🔸️mindahl 🔸️ salt / pepper to taste Olive oil Beat the blender and the sauce is ready! Готов Universal sauce for meat vegetables and fish. Then we fried the meat (today we have pork), boiled some beans))) 😋Great appetite !!!
Wes, you're so informative and yet very entertaining at the same time. I'd pull up a chair to watch you read the phone book. While we wait for you to review something else can we get a dramatic reading of Gone With The Wind?
I've used them before and was fine with them. But, compared to the others we tried, they were down the list. That said, they are a 1/4 of the price of some of our top picks!
Ok no first of all. The control shouldnt be rated because if its not on the same level as the baby rays it wont get placed as good. So this review is a failure.
@@HighfalutinLowCarb Sweetie, you can like whatever the heck you want :) I cannot understand why some people get bent out of shape if you disagree with an "established" keto brand (if you know what I mean) You video was informative and funny; thanks to your research / taste test you highlighted other sauces / marinades I wouldn't have heard of so thank you! You and Andy were delightful! :)
I'm not a fan of Barbecue sauce personally, but I really enjoyed the format of this video. I've just started Keto and your channel has been a wonderful help as well as being delightfully entertaining.
maybe it's my unsophisticated palette but I went right to my refrig after watching the taste test and dug out my G. Hughes sugar free BBQ sauce and it was the "original" type. I still like it and it tastes OK to me, but loved your test and made a note of the good ones to try. TFS
I'm a Tar Heel and believe me there are actual fist fights that breakout during the yearly Lexington BBQ festival over which is best Eastern NC BBQ (vinegar base) or Western NC BBQ (tomato base). That is a hotter topic than university basketball teams or politics! LOL
@@marciaricksgers2018 It is ok but not as good as the hickory. I think G. Hughes is a gift to the low carb community and sad when it is criticized so harshly. We need this product.
I have a couple cooking questions! Me and a lot of family members are lactose intolerant, would lactose-free milk and cheese be suitable for the keto diet? And I have a friend who is allergic to coconut, so which supplements are best for recipes? Thank you for putting so much detail into your videos! Your personality is contagious, and it’s much easier to follow a recipe with actual talking instead of just music. Considering I’m blind haha 😝
Lactose free milk is great but can get higher in carbs. Fairlife is a low one at 6 net carbs per cup. Cheese is always great! Yogurt doesn't have lactose either and keto- especially if you go low carb like Peak yogurt plain.
Thanks for watching and commenting! The original was what I had originally tried at home several months ago and I had the same reaction, unfortunately. It just tastes so strongly of sucralose I can’t stand it. LOL.
A couple of the Stubb’s BBQ sauces are in the 5-7 range per two tablespoons. I’ve used them for mopping in the past with good results. I’ve done a couple racks baby back ribs in the instantpot then put them under the broiler with Stubb’s original brushed on top. If you need to dip you’ll have to find something else, but I’ve found the instantpot then broiled produces a product that is tender, moist, has good bbq flavor and is satisfying for “must have bbq.” It’s still a bit higher than ideal but it’s also a sometimes food.
That’s very interesting! May I ask about your ribs in the InstantPot? Do you put them in dry, or a little liquid to cover the bottom, or do you cover them in water completely like some folks do on the stovetop before they hit the grill?
Highfalutin' Low Carb I’ve used a rub I just made up or just salt. After peeling the silverskin I cut them into 3-4 bone portions and kind of prop them up against each other on the trivet that comes with the pot. Add a cup of water then use the meat program. If you want the bone to fall out take the time up to 45 minutes. I let the steam release naturally then brush with bbq sauce and stick under the broiler to caramelize the glaze. Afraid that’s pretty much all you’ll get from me for a recipe-I mostly just cook and go unless it’s baking of some sort. 😉
I have not tried many low carb BBQ sauces, but my favorite is G Hughes Hickory (and can not stand the G Hughes Honey). I bought Walden Farms once, but never got the nerve to try it! Thanks for putting time and resources into testing so many! I am definitely going to try a new BBQ sauce now!
I've tried most of these. G Hughes is the only low carb BBQ sauce that I can stomach!! What's interesting is I only like it on pulled or smoked meat... I do not like how it tastes by itself. I'm more fond of Sucralose over Stevia when it comes to sauce! I'm a big fan of Allulose too so I'll have to try the Guy Gone Keto brand. To be fair you should really try these sauces on some real southern bbq ;)
We debated that, but I didn’t want anything to interfere with the sauces. So we chose something fairly benign: hotdogs. LOL. (But you better believe these are gonna get a workout with some REAL bbq soon!) Thanks for watching and commenting, Brandon! 👍👍
I love the G. Hughes original bbq sauce, but it's the only sugar free one I've tried. I'm just not paying the ridiculous prices some of those sauces are. I use heinz sugar free ketchup and will just make my own sauce.
🙋♀️ Certainly check out the individual companies websites too❤️. Amazon, as lovely as it can be for discovering new products, is a killer on fees, that really drive prices up for small companies, especially. Also, I've noticed a lot of people (myself included) reach out for coupon codes and that's OK too☺️❤️.
Love you guys!! Thanks for tasting all Of those for us! Have to say use the G Hughs, cheap and readily available. One day Alterna will be in the stores
My husband and I just watched this and LOVED every minute. First, your tester reacts to bad / yucky food like I do, so we found that amusing. I'm known for trying something and while its still in my mouth just giving my husband "side eye", which is saying "omg...no...no...no....can't do it". Backdrop on my next comment is that my husband and I did a diet a few years ago and they recommended Walden Farms Products, and the product reviews were amazing.. And, did I mention that we are foodies? Fast forward to us spending money on "everything Walden". When we were watching you taste test the Walden Farms, he and I were literally yelling at the TV...NOOOOOOO!!!! Then your collective reaction was priceless and we felt ya ... you won us over at that moment! Love your channel and will continue to watch. I have to admit I'm following more of a Paleo/Whole30, but my husband wants to do Keto. Oh btw -- I'm going to be making my own peach BBQ sauce for the ribs that I bought this weekend, which me luck.
That was a great episode again! You guys did describe each sauces in a way that will help us decide: as you said, people from different areas will seek for a different kind of sauce. Price, carbs count, brand, your faces and reaction to them, that is priceless. Can't get enough of you Wes and your friend is such a cute pumpkin keeping it real and funny as well, kuddos, another great battle! Did put a smile on my face!
Wes!! You needed to have grabbed the G.hughes original or their sweet and spicy. The honey and hickory are horrible. Love Andy bring him back for more taste tests please 🤗
Guys garlic sugar free BBQ sauce is by far the best BBQ sauce I've ever tried, sugar free or not. My husband is a BBQ sauce snob and eat BBQ sauce every single day and he said he loves it. Highly recommend!
I've gone through several bottles of it in the past couple of years because it's part of my go to meal. Love Guy's Garlic, its the best. I brought it to my parents to dip meatballs in once for appetizers and even though there was a non-keto option as well everyone kept going for the Guy's.
I am so glad Alterna Sweets won and also not surprised, Its absolutely delicious! I have tried both the Primal Kitchen bbq sauces and honestly threw them out after one use. The walden farms one is the other I've tried and that one made it to the trash so quickly, one finger taste was all it took for me to gag lol. Sidenote: I noticed y'all did not like any of the ones sweetened with Sucralose! I've yet to try anything sweetened with it because I'm really strict with the sweeteners I use(Erythritol, Stevia, Monk Fruit only). Glad I'm not missing anything!
Thankyou for your insight I have only been using the one found at Walmart because that is the only 1 that I can find and now you show in me other options though the price is not quite right. I appreciate what you do keep it up.
Since I went Keto I've been making my own with tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, monkfruit sweetener, worcestershire, oregano, basil, salt and pepper...and because I love heat a dash of Widow's Kiss hot sauce...whoo hoo! Love your videos!
so excited to have a new video from you (and Andy)! P.S. You say in the video all the ones you are testing are "keto/low carb" but the REAL BBQ (sweet baby rays) is def NOT Keto with 18g of sugar/2tbsp....so just thought you might want to have a small disclaimer somewhere for ppl to realize that one might be the fav--bc it's the real deal stuff! :P
haha yes I always LOVE that you do that...and I hadn't finished the video to see where you actually said "just kidding this is the legit one" haha. I need you to do videos every day bc you're my fav!! Hahah. I made the "best" keto cinnamon rolls from your battle and Oh MY WORD!!! SOo good!
We've been using G Hugh's but not because we love it but because it is easy to get. I've tried 3 different homemade recipes but none of them were any better than g hugh's. I'm glad to see how they ranked compared to Sweet Baby Ray's. I'm not too keen on having to pay ten bucks for a bottle of BBQ sauce but I might have to. You'll be my hero if you find a recipe that compares to Sweet Baby Rays!
I totally understand the cost factor!! Our prices are much more affordable when purchased on our website in multiples, as we offer discounts for every bottle ordered up to 6, free shipping, and we ALWAYS guarantee everything we make 100% of the time when purchased on our website. Our shipping is fast too😍😊
I bought the G Hughes BBQ sauce and the ketchup. I'll stay with regular of both. I'll accept the extra calories since it's not something I have every day.
Well done, gentlemen! I am a fan of Primal Kitchen, so will give his a try now, thanks to your recommendation. Always entertaining, always informative. Love you to pieces! 😉❤️
So happy to see a new video 😍. I found a great pancake recipe on Ruledme you should try. But I've heard ppl like Walden farms but that's dirty keto so you can keep it lol . Looking forward to another video that you don't have to waste so much money on. But it's greatly appreciated.
Just watching this now. I have used G. Hughes and Guy's. But I don't use them alone, which helps. I use various spice blends with the sauce to glaze or marinate. Just the other night I made kalbi short ribs. Hoisin glaze for the boyfriend; G. Hughes for me, but I used some Penzey's Barbeque of the Americas as a "dry rub" and added a tablespoon of Sukrin gold. OMG they turned out great!! My boyfriend liked both flavors. The other good spice blend to use with these sauces is Penzey's Northwoods.
I just discovered a great “lo-carb” BBQ sauce it’s called Organicville Tangy BBQ sauce, it’s 7net carbs per 2 Tbls. They use agave nectar as the main sweetener and then organic molasses as an additional sweetener, it’s gluten free and all the ingredients are organic. It’s the closest in taste to my old favorite Sweet Baby Rays but without all the carbs. You’d still have to be mindful about portion control but I’m happy with it!
@@HighfalutinLowCarb Its Amazing I put Fat Boston Butt in the Instant pot and toss a Bottle of Scotts over it.. Meal for a week nearly, Add some Simple Coleslaw and OMG Im in heaven
I can only find G Hughes sugar-free at my stores. Have never seen another brand of sugar-free barbecue sauce ever. The G Hughes you tried was a honey flavor I use the original and yes that's a little sweet to. I like Sweet Baby Ray's but it's got 18 carbs made with sugar even though it tastes good we're not eating it. I used to make my own but I use honey I can't use that anymore
We actually tried two of the G. Hughes sauces here - Hickory and Honey. I had previously tried the Original, and honestly had the same feelings about it as I did these... overwhelming, super fake artificial sweetener taste to me. Finding the other sauces was difficult. I don't have a Trader Joes or Whole Foods near me, so I had to order them all from Amazon. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for another insightful video! I've been making my own BBQ sauce for years, but was contemplating trying the G Hughes brand. I'll just keep making my own. I feel anything over $6 is rediculous to pay for any commercial BBQ sauce. Thanks again for taking the hit to the wallet. Loved having Andy visit the channel again!
Hi, Mina! If you watched to the end, hopefully you saw that we included a “real” BBQ sauce in the testing as a control. Keeps us on our toes. LOL. We of course didn’t allow it to be in the final results. :-)
I've tried probably 10 different Walden Farms products, and from that I've discovered only their chocolate and caramel syrups are edible. The chocolate syrup is actually bordering on good when used in hot coco :) I have both their bbq sauces sitting in my fridge, growing old. Part of me wonders if I leave them there to remind myself to never give them another chance. It's a mouthful of yuck.
LOL! I JUST threw away the bottle of ketchup after this video that's been in my fridge since the ketchup battle. I've heard that the chocolate sauce and syrups are good, but I've been bitten so bad I could never bring myself to buy them LOL
I recently found the other flavors of G. Hughes in store. (Mesquite, Honey, Brown Sugar, Sweet & Spicy, Hickory) I don’t mind the Hickory one, I’ve never had the Honey one. I’m anxious to see if I like any of the others more. I wish they would lower the amount of Sucralose they load it with. Sweet Baby Ray’s was my favorite BBQ sauce before Keto, but it’s way too high in carbs for me. I have it on a rare occasion.
Agree with you that they just use TOOO much sucralose. As you saw, one of our top picks also has sucralose, but it doesn't taste like it at all. I've come to the conclusion that I simply cannot stand the G. Hughes sauces at all. LOL
So I guess if your just going to spoon it in your mouth or put it on an uncooked quartered hot dog it might score low but putting G. Hughes on a proper 3/2/1 rack of ribs or a 14 hour smoked brisket is amazingly good. Even my non-keto friends couldn't tell the difference between it and sweet baby rays. The difference is all in the meat preparation. Shitty meat = shitty taste, good meat = good taste regardless the sauce.
1. They were cooked hot dogs, not raw. 2. I’ve had it many times with actual BBQ and felt the same way. 3. Good thing is that there are many options for many people. 4. Tons of comments here echo our feelings about G. Hughes sauces. 5. If someone telling you they don’t like your store-bought BBQ sauce makes you curse, you may be wound a little too tight.
GHughes is better after being refrigerated. So happy you tried and loved the Alternasweets. I was about to order it so this video came at perfect time. KetoGinja and Colourfulketowithdori both love their BBQ sauce and ketchup. You and Andy are so fun to watch! Love y’all’s facial expressions.
Highfalutin' Low Carb I also look for discount codes on Instagram Keto pages. I tell my husband “I’m not high maintenance I’m low carb” Instead of spas, makeup, jewelry and trips it’s any product sweetened with Stevia! I run when the UPS truck arrives and hide my stash! Jk
Thanks you awesome guys😊 guess which one i liked, the 2 you don't, BUT it's the only one I've tried. I have been tempted to make my own again. I had about 3 years ago and it was so good. Better than the brand i buy and everyone agrees. But laziness usually wins over and i buy the store bought. Thank you both very much! Have a great day🌼
I've used the G. Hughes (as I mentioned in the video) but I'd never tasted it alongside so many others. Wes is not a fan of sucralose but I like it better than Stevia and others. So, I hear ya! Glad you liked the video.
I was about to buy/try G. Hughes but thought I’d look at some reviews first; glad I found you guys!! I’ve always been a SBRays fan, but I have to kick the sugar. Trying the Alterna instead. Thanks!!
My tastebuds really love sucrolose as a sweetener so i love G. Hughes in regular and hickory. I'm really curious to try the Primal Kitchen golden one though!
