Since moving to SC several years ago and now living in NC, I use nothing but Dukes. It has a rich deep flavor much better than anything north of the Mason Dixon.

Dukes, no question. It's thick not watery and gives superior results. Casseroles are rich and cheese balls go together without crumbling. It doesn't taste like lemon.

I always bought this brand for my Foods and Advanced Foods classes.

I used Hellman's until I tried Duke's. Now only Duke's unless I can get Blue Plate, which is not sold where I live. I only pick up the Blue Plate when I travel South.

I also have made the switch to Dukes in recent years, reasonabl priced, usually have a coupon , I buy the Light. I do , however, wish they would remove the high fructose corn syrup.

I use Hellman's and Dukes mayo. They are the best in my opinion.

I live in NJ so I use Hellmann's. Hellmann's and Best Foods are owned by the same company. They sell Hellmann's east of the Rocky Mountains and Best Foods west of the Rocky Mountains. Dukes is only sold in the south.

@nosymrskravitzseems like the big difference between Hellmans and Dukes is that Dukes is thicker. I'm glad I'm not missing much.

I'm a Duke's fan too, your salads don't get watery and I like that.

I agree 100% of what you wrote about Hellmann and Best Foods being made by the same company, but have to disagree with you on Duke's being sold only in the south.

It's available here in Pennsylvania and it's my favorite. I like the taste much better than Hellmann's.

Hellmann's is better tasting than Kraft's any day of the week IMO.

Dukes is also here in Arizona now, that's why I inquired about it since I had never of it. Decided I will give it a try, gonna buy some tomorrow.

DH is from Maryland and always loved Dukes. Here in the St. Louis area, we had Hellman's and Kraft. I always preferred Hellman's to Kraft. Then a few years ago, Duke's was sold in our area. I tried it and never looked back. So Duke's is sold in the Midwest, not just the South. I have never had the privilege of trying Blue Plate but Duke's is far superior to Hellman's in our house.

For those watching their sugar & carbs, Regular Dukes has no sugar, but the Light Dukes has a form of sugar, maybe high fructose corn syrup. I have used only Dukes for about 20 years, finding it when we started eating low carb.

@bbqjudge

Nice to "see" you! Thanks for sharing about the Dukes reg. vs. Duke's light.

Hope you and your DH are doing well and still judging bbq competitions!

I live on the West Coast and it is Best Foods all the way! I have only tasted Duke's once and I seem to remember it seemed sweet.

Dukes or Blue Plate for sure. I live in the South. It makes the best potato salad or chicken or tuna salad. I have family that lives in Ohio and they are now hooked on Dukes too. They buy it at WalMart. I think you can find it at WalMart just about anywhwere now.
