Baz, a well known cookbook author and recipe developer, is the founder of Ayoh! — a sauce brand featuring a collection of mayo-based “sando sauces.”
Other sauces offered on the brand’s website include:
- Original Mayo
- Hot Giardinayo
- Tangy Dijonayo
I have tried all four sauces and my favorite is the Hot Giardinayo! I like adding it to grilled cheese sandwiches.

Here’s what I’ve been eating 🍽️
Yesterday was my husband’s birthday, so we ate at J. Alexander’s in Washington Twp. For a Tuesday night, it was crowded!
I had the barbecue baby back ribs served with French fries and cole slaw. That’s my go-to meal every time I eat at J. Alexander’s.
My husband had the prime rib served with au jus. For his side, he had French fries and dipped them in honey mustard. Is it just me or does J. Alexander’s have the best honey mustard?!?
