Damn I didn’t know there were places without fry sauce. I live in WA and that’s always my go-to sauce at restaurants

It’s Mayo and ketchup sauce, most restaurants and especially fast food places serve it… This is more like a heat map of places that use “Fry Sauce” as a marketing gimmick

I have never heard of fry sauce. Now I have heard of it but I still have no idea what it is.

Does this mean it’s a Mormon thing? Centers in Salt Lake and migrates to the coast?

I feel like you identified fry sauce deserts
Fry sauce has been common in most states I’ve been to and lived in.
People dont mention it in reviews because it is just like a condiment that exists.
These places might be places where fry sauce is uncommon and people are like “bruh…have you ever had fry sauce? They got it here!!!”

And people say there is now such thing as Mormon cuisine. Now excuse me while I have fry sauce with a side of green Jello slaw and wash it down with not just any drink, but dirty soda.
