Any one heard of Fry Sauce?

Answer 1

FRY SAUCE

One of Utah's Unique Culinary Treasures & one of the many things visitors to Utah can get confused about (besides our lingo, our street grid system, and our liquor laws) is the delicacy know as Fry Sauce.

It came into being in about 1949 when it's inventor--also the founder of Arctic Circle-- went into the fast food business, and while experimenting with hamburger sauces, came up with this treat that complimented fries perfectly. It has been a staple of Utah fast food ever since, and has recently started expanding out to other states and other countries. Seems that visitors to Utah get used to having it with their fries, and take the idea home with them.

So, what is it? The original (Arctic Circle) version of it is, as expected, a carefully guarded secret recipe, which is actually patented.

Some say it is like thousand island salad dressing, but real aficionados argue that the pure version is smooth and creamy and not chunky like the dressing. But many have tried to come up with a recipe for this orange-colored marvel that is served with french fries and/or onion rings, and there are many optional ingredients to try and make it your very own specialty.

The basic recipe

* 1 part ketchup
* 2 parts mayonnaise
* Mix together until thoroughly blended.

Other options:

* Substitute barbecue sauce for ketchup.
* Use buttermilk or half & half to thin the sauce.
* Pickle juice (either dill or sweet) for a little zing (rumor has it the official recipe includes pickle juice)
* Chopped pickles minced very tiny, so the sauce is a little chunky (this makes the sauce look suspiciously like thousand island dressing)
* Seasoning salt
* Horseradish
* Garlic
* Whatever exotic spices you have on your shelf--go ahead, experiment

There are several places around town where you can sample the various varieties:

* Arctic Circle
* Astro Burgers
* Crown Burgers
* Hires Big H
* Sonic Drive-in

You can also get bottles of yet another version in the grocery stores, marketed under the label of "Some Dude's Fry Sauce".

Or, if you have to have the original version, contact Arctic Circle.

WOW, Donna, Land O....am I impressed! You are quite right about the fry sauce and its origins. We see something like that (catsup and mayo combo) in our Burgerville Fast food places here in the Pacific Northwest. It's quite good. And the first time I ever had this 'fry sauce' was when I was at Brigham Young University--yup, Utah !!

Answer 5

Yep but I'm from Utah. I had a job when I was sixteen and had to make it five gallons at a time mayo ketup and a little Worcester sauce. It still makes me feel queasy to smell fry sauce.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 7

Yum- yes I have heard of it. Every region has their own recipe. The base of most recipes is mayonnaise. A restaurant I go to uses (I think) mayo, a little horseradish, hot sauce, and ketchup.

I love it! As if french fries didn't have enough calories.
