Notes: The inspiration for this sauce comes from family lore discovered by Mom during her genealogy research, According to family lore, our relatives on my father’s side, who operated a full-service filling station and garage in Elmira, Illinois, had the opportunity to serve some Chicago-based beverage distribution entrepreneurs while these fellows were attending to their business activities downstate.
