Slick and T.C. were on a mission. A very important mission. A mission to properly assess the extensive list of exotic dipping sauces at Leon’s Full Service.
They assembled a small, but brave crew. Lindsay to organize the trip and me to…well, to dip pub frites in dipping sauces. I knew I was up for the challenge. I adore condiments and I have never, ever met a french fry I didn’t like.
There were 4 of us and 14 of them.
We decided to divide and conquer and each chose two: Garlic aioli, goat cheese fondue, masaman curry, leon’s bbq, smoked tomato mayonnaise, fresh horseradish mayonnaise, cucumber-dill yogurt and spicy mango catsup.

We got sauce!
(Look out, peppercorn gravy, madras curry catsup, black pepper mayo, bacon + tarragon mayo, and straight-up mayo: we are coming for you.)
Our favorites? Let me break it down for you:
1. Masaman Curry
2. Horseradish Mayo
3. Goat Cheese Fondue
4. Cucumber-Dill yogurt.

We all agreed that the smoked tomato mayo and bbq were just ok and that the spicy mango catsup was kind of gross. Lindsay’s favorite, though? Straight up catsup.

She's a purist.
The bottom line is this: I LOVE CONDIMENTS. The other bottom line is this: I love fries. The other, OTHER bottom line is this: I love the dipping sauce schtick and there is just something about Leon’s that feels like an event.
Mission accomplished.
It’s Friday. Go on, get your sauce on. You can do it.

or french fry?
