58. Smith and Wollensky Steak Sauce

A very good sauce from a mediocre chain owned by T.G.I. Friday’s. The names “Smith” and “Wollensky” were plucked randomnly from the NYC phone book, allegedly. Ads featuring professional golfer Craig “The Walrus” Stadler were made to create brand appeal and lure investors thereby inflating the stock price. Ironically, the legendary authentic Peter Luger Steak House sells its own inferior sauce while Keens doesn’t even bother. Medium rare please, of course.
