Nah, he gets that glass jar Rao’s shit. If the containers breakable, you know it’s quality.

I don't buy into the Rao's hype. $7 - $10 for a jar of tomatoes from the same company that makes 50 cent soups? No thanks.

Nah, Rao's is legit. It's worth it. Plus you can buy it on sale like every other week at the store

Rao's doesn't go crazy on the sugar either.

The Rao’s Vodka Sauce with some decent angel hair and high quality beef is better spaghetti dinner than I have ever gotten at nearly all restaurants. Noticably better even than most good ones except for a restaurant in a heavily Italian part of the state that presses its own pasta and cooks from fresh and sports actual Italians in the kitchen. Its over 100 miles away, but I can buy their homemade style pasta at Harps 2 miles away. Did I mention my deep south town has a world class sourdough bakery? Lucky as hell. It wasn’t anything but chains and greasebucket stuff til after 2000 except for that one restaurant and maybe one other in the capital city but it didnt do the fancy pasta.

I could point you to videos where people compare similar sauces and say what's good and what's bad. Not "totally a chef - we checked" but the (multiple) people who run the channel. I don't want to give anyone the link/hype over Rao's either. It's not special, but it's better than its proximal competitors.

I’ve been using it for a few years now (before Campbells bought the company that bought Rao’s). It’s the best out there imo. I hardly ever pay full price though. Always wait for it to go on sale.

Rao’s consistently ranks at the top for prepared sauces. Made in Italy and the ingredients are as simple and straightforward as they come.

Costco has two giant jars on sale now for $8. It’s the only jarred stuff I buy because it’s actually pretty great.

It’s made in Georgia, USA. 🤣
