    Homemade ranch (or at least, mixed up on site for restaurants) can be really good. There’s a bar near me that serves a great ranch with their buffalo wings. The thick, globby stuff in the bottles never lives up to expectations.

      Nothing wrong with thick, if it’s got good flavor. I wish I had gotten Po’ Folks (a southern food restaurant chain local to me) ranch dressing recipe before it went out of business during the pandemic. It actually had identifiable chunks of minced carrot etc. suspended in it.

      I miss it so much, along with a few other things from that place, that I’m almost motivated to try to track down somebody who used to work there and remembers.

          Got a link? I found one AJC article with a recipe for the tuna salad, which uses the ranch dressing as an ingredient, but it doesn’t include a recipe for the dressing itself.

          “That” ranch recipe, from that specific restaurant, is noticeably different from any ranch I’ve had anywhere else. Random southern-style ranch recipes aren’t what I’m looking for.
