About Me.

Welcome to Uncle Jammy's – Where Flavor Meets Creativity!

Hi there! I’m Jamal "Uncle Jammy" Etienne-Harrigan, the proud owner and saucemaker behind The Smokey City’s 412 BBQ, LLC. My brand, Uncle Jammy’s, is all about bringing pure bliss to your taste buds with bold, unique, and all-natural sauces, condiments, and spice mixes.

Our Story

Getgo Employee appreciation Test food with Uncle Jammy and Brett Keisel

Born from a deep love of food and a passion for innovation, Uncle Jammy’s started in my kitchen 17 years ago. Growing up surrounded by rich culinary traditions—from Baton Rouge to the Virgin Islands—I developed a knack for blending flavors in unexpected ways.

A defining moment came when I created Area 51, a game-changing wing sauce mixing avocado, jalapeños, and tequila—because why not? From there, I dove into BBQ, fusing the sweet molasses of the Midwest with the tangy vinegar of the South to craft something truly one-of-a-kind.

Today, Uncle Jammy’s is a Pittsburgh-based, minority-owned business dedicated to disrupting the norm—no artificial flavors, no preservatives, just real ingredients that make food unforgettable.

Why We’re Different

All-Natural & No Junk – No high-fructose corn syrup, MSG, or artificial nonsense.

Uniquely Marvelous Flavors – We blend tradition with bold creativity.

Customer-First Mentality – Your joy is our mission.

A Lifestyle, Not Just a Brand – We’re about fun, flavor, and feel-good gatherings.
