I used to make this all of the time and then lost the recipe. I finally found after the move to FL while emptying out the gazillion boxes of books.

GLORIA PITZER'S FAMOUS DAVE'S-STYLE SECRET BBQ SAUCE



Gloria Pitzer's Famous Dave's-Style Secret BBQ Sauce image

Gloria Pitzer is known for copying famous foods, but making them healthy at the same time. "I take the junk out of junk food," says Pitzer. "You know what goes into my recipes." Gloria is careful to point out that she doesn't actually know what the big chains put in their food. "I don't try to dissect the foods and figure out the chemical ingredients," she says. "I never, ever try to steal anyone's secret corporate recipe. I just do my best to duplicate the taste." I have to admit that we don't have a Famous Dave's in Canada, but this is a great sauce. Enjoy!
