I am gathering recipes for making our own next year. Until then, there is a cache or perception value in using what are viewed as “upper end” dressings. Kraft is quite serviceable in many applications, but having one of those brands like Newman’s or Ken’s (or other regional brands) gives the customer a feeling of getting something special. Food cost difference is usually only a few cents per serving, and we’ve converted some folks . . . . they ‘yell’ at us for getting them hooked on higher priced dressings.
We’ll make our own line of several dressings next year, but not all of them. So, I’ll keep some Ken’s Gallons on the hand pump for those occasions and flavors.
