    ranch on pizza can go because growing up, I used to get joked on because I thought it was DISGUSTING and all my cracker ass friends would be like "no you just haven't had it with the right ranch it has to be a HOUSE ranch" (wtf do you mean by 'house ranch' Steve, literally every restaurant is probably using the same goddamn hidden valley packets or whatever)

    they'd order breadsticks with ranch??? no dip them in fucking marinara or spaghetti sauce, not fucking ranch what is wrong with you oooaaaaaaauhhh

      Dude, nah, restaurant ranch hits different. It's not just some Hidden Valley powder, there's a recipe for that shit, and you know when it's done right. Totally different flavor profile, Ken's is the closest I've tasted a store brand get.

      I've been the bitch back there makin' sauces. You gotta get your mix down to a fuckin' science, and you best be usin' buttermilk for that shit.

      I hate ranch, but will say that good restaurant ranch is way better. It's made with fresh buttermilk pretty much always, and many restaurants will add fresh herbs to it.

      I work in a Midwestern fast food restaurant RN and see people order ranch with anything. Corn dogs, mozzarella sticks, fries, I swear to god white midwesterners will put it on fucking anything.

      I’m not a ranch fan but restaurant ranch is different. It’s often made in house and since it doesn’t have to be shelf stable as long so they can use different ingredients

      On pizza is still insane no matter the quality of the ranch
