    I'm a DC native and have never seen a chef actually recreate Mumbo Sauce. Chef John, you are absolutely my fave!!! Miles Long and Leo's actually had the best mumbo sauces in DC. Miles Longs is long gone and with Leo's under new management, I have yet to find a go-to spot.. But after seeing your video, I have to try your version. If its anything like the two spots I mentioned, I will definitely nominate you for the key to the city!!!

      JD Marshall Mumbo Sauce.
      But don't go to any clean Carry Outs. I'm not kidding. Go somewhere that looks dingy.
      Also, different parts of town have different color/tasting mumbo sauce.
      NE/NW has an orange color, SE/SW has the color that Chef John went for.

    • @abrown1306
      @abrown1306 7 років тому +4

      JD Marshall Halfsmokes hands down. Treat yourself to the historic
      Bens Chili Bowl or to one of the many street vendors and get you a spicy Half Smoke. Vendors are on practically every corner downtown. However, if you have a day or more in the city, ya gotta try both lol

    And I grew on Mambo sauce
    It's one of the things that I miss from turning vegetarian the way you described the sauce is just how Mumbo Sauce is
    I think you did an excellent job
    thank you I can't believe you figured out the recipe of Mumbo Sauce I can't wait to try it
    The traditional way of ordering DC fries is "french fries with salt pepa ketchup (some don't always get it) and Mumbo Sauce"
    Just in case you come down here

    As a DC native son, I was taken aback by your question of what we cook/eat in our town. The Mid-Atlantics best seafood is here, with a blend of the South's comforting traditional staples and the Norths penchant for fresh local ingredients with seasonal flair. Not to mention DC being the latest stop on the Michelin Guide's route. If you want something that speaks to our culture, eat at Ben's Chili Bowl, Oooohs and Aaahs, or Old Ebbit. Or if you want to know why our local chefs are world renowned try the Dabney, Bad Saint or The Inn at Little Washington.

    As a Washington, D.C. native and foodie, this is close but mumbo sauce doesn't have any ginger flavor. Mumbo sauce is like gumbo. Everybody has their own preference and flavors. It can be more sweet, more tangy, more red. But never ginger.

Only they use dark brown sugar and is made with heniz #10 cans of ketchup, the pineapple is from concentrate, they add MSG, some cheap places use orange squash. not sure on there chilli choice it is in a 25kg sack with chinese writing. At home we use korean chilli flakes, apricot juice and dark brown cane sugar.

    This is the sauce they had at "Chicken Planet" in Chicago, located next to John Marshall Law School on State and Dearborn for those familiar. The place closed and I was devastated. This sauce got me through school. Never knew what the hell it was. Thanks Chef John.

      Anni dafuq that dudes wrong. Distilled vinegar is usually 5-8 percent acetic acid, and white vinegar can easily be found in a range of 5-20 percent range.

    • @owlversusdove
      @owlversusdove 7 років тому +5

      distilled white vinegar is what you find in the oil/condiment section in the supermarket. its been diluted to 5% so its edible. there are other kinds of white vinegar, like the kinds you can find in a cleaning product aisle.
