Uncle Jammy's

Uncle Jammy's unclejammys.com The best Sauces and Rubs in the Burgh. Hard work and dedication have gone into all of these unique and delicious flavors.

Preservative free with natural ingredients and our company is dedicated to being a positive member of the community. Uncle Jammy’s Story

14 years in the making, Uncle Jammy’s Sauces and Rubs is the machination of a guy who bounced like a roomba from kitchen to kitchen. Starting off as The Smokey City’s 412 BBQ, creating small batches of wing sauce made with creativity in mind and some pretty high

standards and some unique flavor profiles. But in the air was the idea to create a line of sauces and rubs with all natural ingredients, preservative free, and keeping community in mind. These core values grew into something more significant and produced a cult following. The Sauces have been spun off into Uncle Jammy's Sauces and Rubs. But the standards stayed the same. And the desire to increase the level of creativity in the industry, push beyond those limits, and keep it natural and preservative free continued to grow. Unique formulations, relationship building, commitment to a high level of versatility, it’s all there in the customer experience. Set free your culinary creativity when you use our marvelously peculiar products. Unique flavor combinations and bold experiments to enhance fish, beef, poultry and veggies alike. Our sauces, seasonings and rubs will make even the most basic cook look like a Pitmaster.

Sitting outside right now. 78°, nice breeze, gravel lot behind me, open field in front of me. Right where my broken-down Mercury Mountaineer used to sit.

That old SUV is gone now. And honestly? That's how I'm treating this next season.

I just talked through my plan for the summer. Not a wish—a plan.

$50k in sales by June 18th.
Then $200k.
Then half a million dollars before summer ends.
No panic. Just pivot. Just work. Just sitting in the sun on June 1st, feeling like something's about to turn.

I don't know exactly what this June brings. But I know what I'm bringing to it.

Let's go.

We just hit a wall I didn’t see coming.

A few weeks ago, we found out that one unexpected ingredient got our seasoning delisted from Whole Foods Market. Discontinued by August.

I’ll be honest—it hurt. You pour everything into a business, and something as small as a single ingredient can knock you sideways.

But here’s what I’ve learned: you don’t grow in the easy moments. You grow when you have to figure it out.

So we’re working through it. New flavors, new solutions, and a clearer head than before. I don’t have all the answers yet, but I’ll be back as soon as I do.

This isn’t a goodbye. It’s a pivot. And I’m actually excited about where we’re headed.

Thanks for sticking with us.

“The End” for Uncle Jammy’s?

Now the question is no longer
“What’s the next flavor?”
But What is Next?

05/09/2026

Whole Foods has changed its policy for seasonings and quality standards.

That change has resulted in our brands being barred from all 60 stores effective immediately — no new purchases.

We did not see this coming. We thought we had resolved it. We didn't.

These are the 60 stores affected (see list in reel/video). This is a hit, but it's not the end of the story.

We'll keep you updated on next steps. In the meantime, thank you for riding with us.

still yours.

We just got word that the Pittsburgh Mac & Cheese Festival (May 2nd) has been postponed. I know a lot of you were looking forward to it — and trust me, we were ready to go all out for you. This is now the second year in a row it’s been rescheduled, which makes it even tougher to share.

That said… the mac doesn’t disappear just because the event did.

If you were craving what we had planned, we can bring the full experience directly to you. Whether it’s a private party, birthday, cookout, or corporate event, we can build an entire mac & cheese-centered spread that hits just as hard (if not harder) than what you would’ve gotten at the festival. Big flavors, custom setups, and the kind of dishes we don’t hold back on.

We’re still developing our broader menu, but if mac & cheese is the main event you want — we’re ready right now.

If you were planning to pull up on May 2nd… this might be your sign to host something even better.
