Oh my gosh! I thought it was just me who loves fry sauce. I grew up in Eastern Washington and a few of the burger places there have fry sauce. I now live in Maine, where they have never heard of fry sauce. The first place I always want to go when I come home for a visit is to Burger Ranch for fries with fry sauce! What a great story! Maybe I should visit Utah, sounds like I would fit right in!

I never realized there was a fan base for fry sauce. I live in Seattle and demand my parents bring Arctic Circle when the visit from Eastern Washington. I miss them on this side of the mountains.

I miss fry sauce!!! My husband and I moved to Michigan last year and are suffering. Luckily I have a wonderful mother who is bringing a bottle in her suitcase when she comes to visit. Then I can also show all my co-workers why fry sauce is so superior to ketchup! They just don't understand...

We moved to Michigan 9 years ago. We just ask for Mayo when we get our fries then mix it with ketchup at approx 2 to 1. Sometimes people watch and think it looks a little weird but it's almost as good as fry sauce.

Fry sauce was actually "invented" by a fellow in Preston Idaho who frequented the Arctic Circle there. He would mix mayo and ketchup to dip his fries in. The workers at the Preston arctic circle asked him if it was OK to use his "recipe", mixing the mayo and ketchup, to offer to their other customers. The rest was history.

What Utah refers to as "fry sauce" was actually a sauce similiar to Thousand Island Dressing that was made popular in Latin America by Pollo Campero from Guatemala many years before it was discovered by LDS missionaries and trumpeted as their own creation in Utah, Nevada and Idaho. It was called Caribbean Sauce until last year when it was changed to Campero Sauce.

No. Utah sees a major earthquake every 350 years. Last one? 350 years ago.
