Origin Story: France is not typically associated with barbecue culture-their smoke-forward cooking tends toward sausages and charcuterie rather than the low-and-slow traditions of the American South. But the Lay’s Flavor Department recognized that French palates appreciate depth and complexity, making BBQ Sauce a calculated entrant into a market more accustomed to cheese and herb-forward crisps. The result walks a careful line between American boldness and French restraint.
