Heinz Is Officially Launching Mayochup—Here’s How to Get the First Taste
Updated: Sep. 17, 2018
Back in April, Heinz announced that Mayochup was coming to the U.S. But where, you ask? Here's how to make sure it's at a store near you.
Like any good American, you probably add ketchup and mayo to hot dogs, hamburgers and so much more. And like any good American company, Heinz has figured out a way to make that process a little bit easier: by combining two of our favorite condiments—ketchup and mayonnaise—into Mayochup.
The ketchup/mayonnaise combo was already available overseas, so Heinz decided to gauge stateside interest with a Twitter poll. “Want #mayochup in stores? 500,000 votes for ‘yes’ and we’ll release it to you saucy Americans.”
After the yes vote won in a 55-45 split, Heinz asked for input on the name of their new sauce. The votes were tallied, and Mayochup stuck it out for the win. Now, all we want to know is…
Who’s gonna get Mayochup first?
Just like they did to gauge popularity and find a name for their ketchup-mayo delight, Heinz is asking Twitter users to decide what city will get Mayochup first.
#Mayochup is here. And these saucy cities Tweeted #Mayochup the most. Vote for your city by Tuesday, 9/18 by 11:59 PM CST to be among the first to taste it.

So far, the top contenders are Chicago, Brooklyn, and Culver City, California. The way to make sure your town is among them? VOTE!
(Psst: While you’re casting your tweet-vote, why not follow Taste of Home, too?)
What can’t you do with this new condiment?
Of course, Heinz didn’t invent the concept of combining ketchup and mayonnaise. Lots of people have been using it as a condiment or dipping sauce for years, calling it names like fry sauce. If this saucy talk has gotten you hungry, you can mix up some ketchup and mayo yourself and use it to complement french fries of all shapes and sizes (here’s the brand you should be buying). Or slather it on your next burger.
So do you think you’ll opt for this new combo or just continue to mix these classics together at home?
Put your own mayochup on these grilling favorites.
Grilled Romaine SaladIt might sound a little odd to grill lettuce, but the grill adds incredible depth to an otherwise basic salad. Feel free to customize the recipe to your liking by switching up the toppings or using a favorite homemade salad dressing.
Dry-Rub Grilled Pork Chops over Cannellini GreensWe're not sure which is our favorite component of this recipe: the flavor-packed bean salad or the grilled pork chops themselves. They're both so fantastic! When using the grill, we'll always recommend going with bone-in pork chops over boneless. The bone helps keep the meat juicy as it cooks.
Grilled Zucchini Salad with Mediterranean DressingGrilled meat often gets all the love, but some of our favorite easy grill recipes revolve around vegetables. This simple grilled zucchini salad tastes fresh, and it's so easy to make despite being filled with complex flavors. It pairs well with everything, too: meat, poultry or fish.
Grilled Stone Fruits with Balsamic SyrupKeep this recipe in your back pocket when stone fruits—like peaches, plums and nectarines—are in season. The grill caramelizes the soft fruit's natural sugars, and the fruit gets a gorgeous glaze from the addition of balsamic vinegar and sugar. Serve this as-is, or combine the fruit with whipped cream, yogurt or ice cream.
Grilled BroccoliTake broccoli to the next level by roasting it on the grill. Using indirect heat here mimics a high-temperature oven, giving the broccoli lightly roasted edges while infusing each bite with smoky goodness. If you find it too difficult to grill the florets directly over the grill grates, try using a grill basket instead.
Hawaiian Turkey BurgersMove over beef; it's turkey's time to shine in these sweet-and-savory burgers. Grilling the pineapple slices really takes this burger to the next level. The sugars in the pineapple caramelize, adding a toasted, nutty flavor to the dish.
Grilled Steak Bruschetta Salad for 2This recipe can be prepared as an easy grilled appetizer, enjoyed as a light lunch or served for dinner with a couple vegetable side dishes. To save time, look for bruschetta topping at the grocery store in the pasta aisle or in the deli case, or you can make your own garlic tomato bruschetta topping from scratch.
Grilled Steak FajitasThis grilled steak recipe tastes fantastic wrapped up in corn or flour tortillas, or you can go grain-free by serving it in lettuce wraps. If you have time, whip up a flavorful pico de gallo to pair with the steak and peppers.
Grilled CabbageCabbage wedges are one of our favorite ways to prepare vegetarian "steaks," but they also make an excellent side dish for meaty mains. Cooking the cabbage in a foil packet over direct heat provides some caramelization on one side of the wedge while simultaneously steaming the cabbage, ensuring that each bite is tender.
Maple-Glazed SalmonIt's impossible to have too many grilled salmon recipes, especially when the dish only takes 20 minutes to prepare! This sweet-and-tangy glaze uses grapefruit juice, but orange juice works just as well if that's what you have on hand. Pair the salmon with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes, or serve it over your favorite rice side dish.
Lemony Grilled Salmon Fillets with Dill SauceSalmon, lemon and dill are a match made in heaven. The sour lemon cuts through the salmon's natural fattiness, and the dill accentuates the citrus vibes and brings a grassy element to the pairing. Of course, this dill sauce tastes fantastic with most fish, so you can also make this recipe with other firm white fish like halibut or cod.
Shrimp and Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon DressingTo be honest, this recipe had us at "hot bacon dressing." Need we say more? For more of a wilted salad vibe, try lightly cooking the spinach by adding it to the dressing before removing the pan from the heat.
Grilled Pork and Poblano PeppersMost recipes with Poblano peppers are stuffed, but this meaty pepper holds up exceptionally well as a simple accompaniment to grilled pork. While the peppers aren't very spicy, we still recommend wearing gloves when handling them, as the oils can be irritating to the eyes or other sensitive areas.
Ginger-Glazed Grilled HoneydewMost of us have heard about grilled fruit, but honeydew melon probably isn't the first fruit to come to mind. That may change after you try this easy grill recipe! You might think that a ripe honeydew would become mushy when cooked, but the grill's high heat sears the pieces quickly to lock in its extra-sweet flavor.
Meat ‘n’ Potato KabobsDid you grow up in a "meat and potatoes" household? If so, did you ever put the two together on a single skewer? The result is something magical—and filling, too! This kabob is a meal on a stick, and you'll need little more than a simple side salad to complete the meal.
Grilled Garden Veggie PizzaThis recipe is proof that pizza doesn't have to be unhealthy. We pack a prebaked pizza crust with our favorite summer vegetables, including zucchini, red peppers, onions and summer squash. After about five minutes, the crust is a gorgeous golden brown and the mozzarella cheese on top reaches the perfect level of melty goodness.
Grilled Vegetable PlatterVegetable platters are a gorgeous way to showcase this week's CSA box or your farmers market haul. You can make the recipe as written or use our guide to seasonal fruits and vegetables to customize this easy grill recipe for every season.
Grilled Peach, Rice & Arugula SaladThis salad has so much going on. The meaty texture of the grilled peaches, the chewy wild rice, the flavor-boost of the bacon and maple-Dijon dressing, and the contrast between the tangy goat cheese and the spiciness of the arugula. It may be the perfect salad!
Barbecued Chicken PizzasYou don't need a special baking stone or outdoor pizza oven to make fantastic pizza. All you need is to cook refrigerated pizza dough directly on the grill grates before flipping it over and adding your favorite toppings. Then, close the lid to allow the cheese to melt. It's as easy as that!
Cajun Boil on the GrillThe key to these foil-wrapped Cajun boil packets is ensuring all the ingredients cook at the same rate. We use refrigerated potato wedges because raw potatoes take too long to cook—the salmon and shrimp would overcook in the process. For a more from-scratch approach, feel free to par-boil potatoes until they're fork tender.
Grilled Zucchini with OnionsThis recipe might seem basic, but it shines in its simplicity. This grilled zucchini is exactly the side dish you've been looking for to serve with rich beef recipes, spicy chicken entrees or lemony seafood.
