4 Dipping Sauces for Fries that Are Better Than Ketchup
Los Angeles burger lovers agree: The one at Father's Office is incredible. No controversy there. But there is when it comes to chef-owner Sang Yoon's long-standing no-ketchup policy. Instead of using everyone's favorite tomato-based go-to, Yoon tops his amazing cheeseburger with a caramelized onion and bacon compote and serves his fries with aioli.
Though the rule has distressed some Angelenos for years, the ketchup ban recently inspired a photographic protest on Yelp. One Yelper posted a picture of a basket of sweet potato fries covered in ketchup and ketchup packets on the Father's Office page, and is imploring other ketchup loving Yelpers to up-vote it to the point where it will automatically become the restaurant's primary image.
We at Food & Wine support both Yoon's right to ban condiments and fry-eaters' right to want it. But we suggest that both parties switch up their fry dip selections with these eight excellent sauces.
