Fry Sauce?

[DRKsmoking]

Always loved white vinegar on crispy salty fries at the fair when I was a kid, still love white vinegar on many things

and a dip into ketchup. Will have to look into this " Fry Sauce " of which you all speak of

After I have my morning coffee. I'll think of something. Dedicated especially for you! Dang, I actually slept to 8:30.

Coffee and a bloody mary and you'll be set! But I bet you did a double take when you looked at your clock!

Raisin Cane Sauce
Freddy's Fry Sauce and Jalapeno Fry Sauce
Zaxby's
Chick-fil-A

All have a fry sauce or a version of sauce similar to fry sauce.
There's at least one more chicken place with a fry sauce. Kinda on the East Coast IIRC
I know I'm forgetting more and don't even know about the chain running North and South of Utah.

Sauce sounds like a knock off of mayo based Remoulade......

I don't eat fries much but when I do salt and Heinz does it. That said, best fries I ever had were hot buffalo garlic wing sauce infused with Carolina Gold and bleu cheese dressing. I got a few friends raving over Cleveland Ketchup ghost pepper ketchup. I am picking some up when I am the area.

The Chain is Arctic Circle, my favorite fast food spot ever. They have a very diverse menu...couple of halibut dishes, taco salads, fried shrimp baskets, hot dogs/corn dogs, plus everything you'd expect from a burger-and-ice cream joint.

And that is where fry sauce was invented. https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/utah/fry-sauce-arctic-circle-ut/

Actually, the link said the founder of Arctic Circle ran a BBQ joint in Utah, and that's where he came up with the concept, but soon thereafter he closed the BBQ restaurant and opened the first Arctic Circle. They have a few dozen locations now, nearly all in Idaho and Utah, with a couple now in Arizona, Nevada, Washington, and Oregon.

That reminds me, never had poutine but looks like a winner.

Poutine is good, but so is cheddar fries and gravy fries. All were staples after the bars closed when I was younger. One bar in Burlington even had a walk up window where you could purchase any of them for the ride home.

Had to look that one up. It does sound good. We have a lot of French Canadians here, not so many Cajun French.

Well hot damn. I should have known there's no original ideas left.
Looks fantastic.

While reading the news over the morning cup of coffee, I saw an article about Fry sauce. Evidently it got it's start in Utah. Part ketchup, part mayo, and other stuff. Anybody tried it? Kinda reminds me of John Travolta talking about eating in Amsterdam from Pulp Fiction and the Royale with cheese!

Fry sauce is big in Idaho. I would have guessed Idaho is where it started from to be honest and not utah. Close enough, though.

Fry sauce is absolutely awesome and I prefer it 10/10 over ketchup. It's basically a creamier ketchup w/ spices. It makes ketchup extremely boring, which is just sugar sauce. Fry sauce IMO can even go as far to replace ketchup on hamburgers.

I don't even stock ketchup anymore!

There's lots of different variations, so if you wind up trying it and not caring much for it, try another brand/restraunt. They're each a bit different. I have never met a fry sauce that I didn't like though, and I've met quite abit that I LOVED

Have you tried fermented ketchup?

 

[fendersrule]

Have you tried fermented ketchup?

I haven't, but pictures of it makes it look way better than normal ketchup, almost like a tomato paste and less like ketchup which is kid's food IMO. I assume it will be more on the sour / vinegar side?

I make hot sauces quite a bit, so just guessing!
