It doesn’t matter if you’ve lived in Utah your entire life or you are new to the state, you have likely heard of and (hopefully!) tried fry sauce. This delicious condiment is well-known throughout Utah, but what many individuals don’t know is that it was actually invented right here in the Beehive State! In fact, this sauce has been satisfying taste buds around the state since the 1950s. While the sauce seems simple enough, many restaurants have their own way of making this tasty condiment. Here are just four restaurants in Utah that each have their own recipe for this tasty sauce.
Arctic Circle is not only the best place to try fry sauce today, but it was also the first place to serve it. Don Carlos Edwards opened his first Arctic Circle restaurant in 1950 and one of his creative food ideas was fry sauce. The recipe to make this sauce is a secret and today we aren't even 100 percent sure what ingredients are included in it.
Crown Burger is one of the most popular hamburger joints in Utah and for good reason. The burgers here are delicious and you can order the most amazing pastrami burgers in the state. However, that’s not all ... Crown Burger has been voted as serving some of the best fry sauce in Utah, and believe us, you can taste a difference.
Hires Big H is another popular burger joint that definitely deserves to be on your foodie’s bucket list. This restaurant opened its doors in 1959 and has been serving incredible hamburgers, fish, fries, and more ever since. Plus, this restaurant makes its own special fry sauce and even offers packets so you can take the sauce home if desired.
When in the Pleasant Grove area, there is one place to go — Purple Turtle. This delicious diner serves incredible burgers, sandwiches, fish and chips, and more. The fries are incredible but they are even better when dipped in the homemade fry sauce. However, the recipe to make this sauce is also confidential and it’s one secret we are dying to find out.
Fry sauce is something so very simple, yet it can truly improve any meal. How do you make fry sauce? What is your favorite restaurant that serves it? Let us know in the comments!
