'''Mumbo sauce''' or '''mambo sauce''' is a [[condiment]] developed and popularized at [[take-out]] [[restaurants]] in [[Washington, D.C.]]. The red-orange sauce is similar to [[barbecue sauce]], but somewhat sweeter, and also somewhat spicier or more sour. (There is some variation in flavor and consistency.) It is put onto fried [[chicken]] wings, [[french fries]], fried jumbo shrimp, and [[fried rice]]. The origin and ingredients of Mumbo sauce are subject to great dispute.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/mumbo-mambo-sauce-washington-dc-article|title=This Secret Sauce From D.C.

Mumbo sauce was also served in Buffalo, NY at John Young's Wings N' Things, starting around 1961. Young's sauce was tomato-based but included fruits such as lemons and oranges and was described by Council Member James Pitts as "lip smacking and liver quivering". It is important to note that Young's sauce was used on wings, which eventually became synonymous with Buffalo – and adapted by other restaurants like the [[Anchor Bar]] as [[Buffalo wing|"Buffalo Wings"]]. In 2023, [https://johnyoungsoriginal.com/ John Young's Original] began bottling John Young's mumbo recipe. |
