Walter Kinzie, founder of Kinzie Foods and a descendant of one of Chicago's first settlers, advocates for innovative dipping sauces, challenging consumers to explore flavors beyond the usual barbecue. His sauces come in unexpected varieties like pickle and espresso, adding zest to a range of dishes including Bloody Marys and stews. Kinzie's motivation stems from his modest upbringing where affordable flavor was a necessity, leading to his unexpected venture into the food industry. His initial endeavor began with gifting a special barbecue sauce, eventually fulfilling a growing demand for unique condiments.
"This was just a byproduct of growing up very, very poor. We couldn't afford to go get all the different condiments out there. We used barbecue sauce on everything."
"I wanted to provide something really special for my clients, for the celebrities I work with, and folks like that, where they knew I made it. I never wanted a business out of it."
