Ranch has long held a special place in the hearts of Americans. Since its inception in the 50's, it steadily gained popularity until it toppled ketchup as America’s most popular condiment, all while becoming synonymous with foods of all types in the meantime. Pizza, salad, fries — you name it, someone's tried it with ranch. Hidden Valley® Ranch, one of the world’s largest ranch manufacturers, has long sold seasoning packets for people to make ranch at home. Now, they’re selling it as a seasoning.

We wanted to see exactly how you can amp up the ranch flavor could be with the new shaker, so we partnered with Hidden Valley® to launch the Coast 2 Coast Ranch Tour. We asked chefs nationwide to think outside the box and use the new Hidden Valley® Original Ranch Seasoning shaker to create something truly original and delicious. Here are the results, which will be available at their respective restaurants all September. You can also find the full availability and details of each dish at www.foodbeast.con/ranch.
