Mambo sauce is being adapted by high-end restaurants and they call it gentrification. Is that a good or a bad thing?
Well it depends on how you look at it. This recent article by Maura Judakis has people asking and answering this question.
Be sure to take a look at it and see what we had to say. Here’s a clip:
“As long as respect is given to this as a homegrown sauce, I don’t mind,” said Jones, who sells the sauce at Ben’s Next Door and Union Market. “There are people who will always go to the neighborhood carryouts to eat their mambo sauce. There are people who will never go to a local carryout to get their mambo sauce.
“I think it allows a wider margin of people to get to try this product.”
Capital City’s product should be referred to as Capital City™ mambo sauce. MUMBO is a federally registered trademark of Select Brands LLC.
