Fry Sauce - 7 Variations

In the mid-1950s, two teenage boys - Max Peay and Ron Taylor - mixed ketchup and mayonnaise together at the Utah based Arctic Circle restaurant they worked at, they called it Fry Sauce and the rest is history. Since then, there have been many variations of the original 2-ingedient recipe, but most variations start with the same base. Although Fry Sauce is generally found in the west coast, its popularity has slowly made its way all across the country.
