Special Notes

This signature burger sauce combines the best elements of classic condiments to create the perfect complement to any burger. The combination of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard provides the base, while the pickle relishes add tang and texture. The Worcestershire sauce adds depth and umami flavor that elevates the entire sauce. This sauce works beautifully on burgers, sandwiches, or as a dipping sauce for fries. The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator, making it perfect for meal prep or entertaining. Adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more sugar or vinegar to taste.
