There are many copycat recipes out there for J Dawg's Sauce--the REAL recipe is a family secret so the ingredients in a copycat recipe are a guess, at best! I've been to J Dawg's, yes, you can purchase the sauce if you go to one of their eateries. If that is not convenient, you can try a copycat recipe. This one, as I recall, is very similar to the one at the restaurant. I ENCOURAGE you to try the REAL thing at J Dawg's, if that is not convenient, this will not disappoint. 😍 The cut in the dawgs at the restaurant is patented--and only a bit similar to my non-patented cuts.
