All about Ken’s
Our story began in 1941 when Ken and Florence Hanna decided to open Ken’s Steak House. Steaks were their specialty, but they wanted to offer more to their customers: a complete dining experience. As the restaurant grew, the main draw, to everyone’s surprise, became the great salad with an even greater dressing.
In 1958, Ken’s friends Frank and Louise Crowley decided to turn his famous dressing into a business. They started Ken’s Foods in their kitchen, beginning with the restaurant’s house dressing. Today, Ken’s Foods produce and package over 1000 varieties of dressings and sauces.
We are proud to serve loyal customers throughout the country, and we remain a family-owned and operated company. We’re committed to success and seek people who can contribute to our outstanding growth.

-
Ken’s Steak House’s first dressing hit store shelves in 1958: our bold Italian blend of oil, vinegar, herbs, and spices. Since then, we’ve been busy perfecting more favorites—like creamy Ranch and sweet, tangy Honey Mustard. Today, we craft hundreds of dressings and sauces, all made to bring big flavor to every table.
-
For over two decades Sweet Baby Ray’s has been a part of Ken’s, and the product line has grown from the classic original to over 20 delicious flavors. Our specialty is BBQ sauces, but we also master the art of making delicious marinades, glazes, and more. We’re constantly looking for new ways to improve our customers’ next meal with the best sauce available.

Sticky Fingers is another member of our delicious line-up of award-winning sauces. The sauce that made Sticky Fingers famous was first prepared in South Carolina back in 1992. Our selection of sauces each has its own story within the rich history of American BBQ, and today, that same authentic flavor can be found in grocery stores across the country.
-
