Description
W’ham® Sauce – Marinade was the first flavor creation John Willingham ever made — and it still stands the test of time. Inspired by the distinctive steaks at the once-famous Trader Vic’s in New York, John created his own tribute: a rich, versatile marinade built to bring deep savory character to a wide range of foods.
That legacy continues today with recent recognition including 4th Place in the 2026 NBBQA Awards of Excellence – BBQ Marinade and a 2nd Place finish at the International Flavor Awards for 2025.
Use it as a binder, marinade, baste, dip, or finishing sauce for beef, pork, lamb, fish, fowl, and wild game. Reach for it instead of Worcestershire — W’ham® Marinade brings a deeper, more layered savory flavor built on apple cider vinegar and tamarind. It shines whether you are grilling, smoking, roasting, broiling, baking, or frying, delivering bold flavor with the balanced touch Willingham’s® is known for.
And do not stop at the pit — be sure to try it in Chex Mix Recipe and take your snacking game to the next level!

Where it lands against the rest of the line — and what we put it on — is in the W’ham® Pairing Matrix.
Can I use W’ham® Marinade instead of Worcestershire sauce?
Yes — and it’s an upgrade. W’ham® Marinade has a deeper, more layered savory flavor than Worcestershire, from apple cider vinegar, tamarind, garlic and spices. Use it anywhere a recipe calls for Worcestershire, from steak marinades to our Chex Mix.

This is a great marinade, I’ve ordered it by the case for more than 10 years. For chicken and salmon on the grill nothing beats it for delicious, quick and easy. It’s a unique way to bring a bit of the flavor of Memphis to my dinner table in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks Willingham’s for this product.
