Donkey Sauce

Guy Fieri, a restaurateur and Food Network personality, opened Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar (220 West 44th Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues) in New York City in the fall of 2012. The menu described “Donkey Sauce”—mayonnaise, garlic, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. The name “donkey sauce” was not explained, but it could be that Fieri thought the sauce was “kicking” (like a donkey’s kick). “Donkey sauce” had been infrequently cited in print before 2012 and did not have a standardized recipe.
 
Fieri’s “donkey sauce” is similar to mustard aioli; a December 2012 restaurant review described the sauce as “just glorified mayonnaise with a special name.”

This Donkey Sauce presents a mystery to be unraveled. What could it be? (It involves mustard, mayo, Worcestershire, and garlic, apparently.)

Donkey Sauce Recipe
Posted on November 16, 2012
Donkey Sauce – it’s been in the news lately. A potent name, certainly memorable. It simply tastes like a nice rustic version of Alioli, that’s lost it’s overly aggressive pungent punch. The garlic is mellowed by roasting, or a quick confit in olive oil as I’ve done here. Use it with almost anything that comes off the grill. Especially good on hamburgers.

Donkey Sauce and Fishy Marshmallows: Why Guy Fieri Matters
BY LINDSAY BEYERSTEIN
(...)
The piece is an unrelenting one-sided Socratic dialogue between Wells and an imagined Fieri: “What accounts for the vast difference between the Donkey Sauce recipe you’ve published and the Donkey Sauce in your restaurant? [...] And when we hear the words Donkey Sauce, which part of the donkey are we supposed to think about? [...] Why did the toasted marshmallow taste like fish?”

If only the Donkey Sauce could have followed suit (it was really just glorified mayonnaise with a special name).
