Disrupting the BBQ Norm Since 2005

Award-Winning, Small-Batch, and All-Natural. Straight from the heart of the 412.

We aren't here to blend in. Uncle Jammy’s was built for the flavor-obsessed and those who are tired of mass-produced, syrup-heavy sauces and ready for real, chef-inspired heat and heart. At Uncle Jammy’s, every flavor tells a story—one rooted in persistence, creativity, and nearly two decades of flavor mischief.

From Late-Night Experiment to National Recognition

What began in 2005 as a late-night experiment in a small Pittsburgh kitchen has evolved into a full-fledged culinary brand that’s redefining what condiments can be. Founder Jamal Etienne-Harrigan (known as "Uncle Jammy" to his nieces and nephews) spent years refining recipes through burnt batches and brilliant breakthroughs.

We’ve learned that flavor isn’t just about taste—it’s about connection. Whether it’s our legendary green wing sauce, Area 51, or our award-winning rubs, every recipe is a reflection of years spent listening to our customers.

Award-Winning

Our flavors are decorated with multiple Scovie Awards, proving that small-batch innovation wins every time.

Grit, Soul, and Innovation

We’re proud to represent the grit and soul of the "Smokey City." Pittsburgh taught us that success comes from showing up every day—rain or shine—and that community matters.

Today, Uncle Jammy’s can be found on shelves from the Steel City to Virginia, and in the homes of people who crave something authentic, creative, and real. Our sauces are still made in small batches with that same Pittsburgh work ethic poured into every bottle.

ABOUT 412 BBQ

How it All Started

The Smokey City’s 412 BBQ is where Jamal brings his sauces to life in prepared dishes and festival menus. Under the 412 BBQ banner, he serves showcases at events such as the Pittsburgh Mac and Cheese Festival and regional food truck festivals. It serves to showcase how the sauces perform in real, crowd-pleasing plates.
