...

If you didn’t respond “bacon mayo, white truffle butter and barrel-aged hot sauce,” please proceed to the pantry below. It’s filled with the most backyard-cookout-invigorating condiments that condiments can offer.

If you did... well, we grossly underestimated you.

But still, humor us.

Maybe you’ve heard of beer. And mustard. But it’s time to get reacquainted with beer mustard. $5, Cali-Dijon Mustard 2.0

Ketchup. Perhaps the humblest of condiments. Unless yours is made with champagne vinegar, fresh-pressed olive oil and sweet roasted garlic. Then... much less humble. $24, Champagne Ketchup

Here’s a jar of bacon mayo from Brooklyn’s preeminent mayo-makers, Empire Mayo. That sentence makes sense because it’s Brooklyn. $9.75, Bacon Mayonnaise

Someone: Got any relish? You: Yes. This is Meyer lemon relish. Pretty tangy. Kind of South Indian–inspired. Adds something special to your hot dog. Someone: Really glad we did this. $13, Meyer Lemon Relish

An heirloom family recipe is responsible for this sweet-and-hot pepper jelly. But no one has to know it’s not your family recipe. $8, Sweet & Hot Pepper Jelly

Should you forgo hamburgers and hot dogs in favor of fajitas, this spicy red chili mole from Portland will be there to help. And, subsequently, be consumed. $13, Red: Dried Chilaca Mole Sauce

Regalis normally sells this super-creamy, small-batch black truffle butter to Michelin-starred restaurants. But that shouldn’t stop you from spreading some on your next steak. It should do the opposite. $10-$40, Grass-Fed Wisconsin 84% Black Truffle Butter

For when ghost pepper sauce just simply won’t suffice, here’s some ghost pepper sauce that’s been aged in bourbon barrels. $11.75, Barrel Aged Pepper Sauce
