About this episode

The episode explores whether Heinz ketchup truly tastes better than its competitors through a blind taste test.

Heinz ketchup has a chokehold on Pittsburgh. From stadiums and museums to our own home pantries, it’s the brand on the table and in any good Pittsburghers’ fridge. But does Heinz actually taste better than the competition? Host Megan Harris put the City Cast Pittsburgh team to the test with a blind ketchup taste test, comparing Pittsburgh’s hometown favorite against several rival brands. **This conversation originally published June 6, 2024.
