MAKES ABOUT 11/4 CUPS, ENOUGH FOR 8 OR MORE BURGERS
The 1970s were the heyday of “secret” burger sauces. Every burger joint, diner, and fast-food restaurant had one, even though they all seemed to be made pretty much the same ingredients—mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, and sugar. This is my attempt at Fat Jack’s sauce, only I am not keeping it a secret.
1 cup MAYONNAISE (right; 1 recipe) or store-bought mayonnaise
1/4 cup KETCHUP
2 tablespoons RED WINE VINEGAR or white vinegar
1 heaping tablespoon SWEET PICKLE RELISH
1 teaspoon WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE
1 teaspoon freshly ground BLACK PEPPER
1/8 teaspoon KOSHER SALT
1/8 teaspoon GARLIC POWDER
1/8 teaspoon ONION POWDER
Stir everything together in a bowl. Taste and add more of any of the ingredients that you want to. Cover and refrigerate until the feast.
