Exploring the Delicious World of Sauce It's Us and Dutch: A Boston Institution

As I stand here in one of Boston's busiest tourist areas, surrounded by the iconic Faneuil Hall and Hay Market, I am reminded of the city's vibrant food scene. Among the numerous eateries and establishments that cater to tourists and locals alike, there is one spot that stands out – Sauce It's Us and Dutch. This unassuming restaurant has been a favorite among locals for over two decades, and its loyal following is a testament to its exceptional cuisine.

The story of Sauce It's Us and Dutch began when co-owner and chef Chin Guo opened the establishment with some college buddies back in 2011. Guo's passion for cooking and his love for Dutch street food inspired the creation of this unique eatery, which specializes in condiments – yes, you read that right! With a staggering array of 20 dipping sauces ranging from savory to sweet, Sauce It's Us and Dutch has become a haven for those who appreciate the art of sauce-making.

As I peruse the menu, I am greeted by an impressive selection of sandwiches, each one carefully crafted to showcase the restaurant's signature sauces. The chicken pocket, with its crunchy carrots and onions, is a standout – a perfect example of how Sauce It's Us and Dutch's condiments can elevate even the simplest dishes into something truly special. Guo himself recommends his Samurai sauce, which he describes as "amazing," while also emphasizing the importance of using all 20 sauces on every sandwich. It's clear that this is not just about providing a variety of flavors but also about creating an immersive experience for customers.

I have to ask, what dipping sauces do you enjoy? I'm intrigued by the idea of Samurai sauce and Vampire Slayer – does it sound like something out of a comic book? Guo explains that these sauces are designed to be used liberally on all sandwiches, from the chicken saute pack to the panda sauce, which boasts Asian-style flavors with a salty, slightly sweet note. For those who may not have a culinary background, fear not – Sauce It's Us and Dutch is committed to providing an accessible dining experience that caters to all tastes.

One of the standout features of this restaurant is its use of local ingredients and support for small businesses. Guo explains that he and his team are dedicated to using only the freshest produce and partnering with local suppliers whenever possible. This commitment to community and sustainability has earned Sauce It's Us and Dutch a loyal following among locals who appreciate the restaurant's dedication to providing an authentic dining experience.

As I delve deeper into the menu, I come across the Sloppy Jock – one of those sandwiches that evokes memories of childhood. Braised beef, bacon, and a rich, sweet flavor profile all come together on a brioche bun, making this sandwich a true indulgence for those who love sloppy joes. Guo warns customers not to buy just one beer with their meal, as the portion is substantial – but trust me when I say that it's worth every bite.

I have the pleasure of speaking with Samuel Monsoor, another talented chef who has won challenges in Guy Fieri's Grocery Games Triple G. When asked about his favorite sandwich on the menu, Monsoor raves about the Sloppy Jock, praising its big flavors and generous portion size. It's clear that Sauce It's Us and Dutch is more than just a restaurant – it's an experience that combines great food, fun atmosphere, and a commitment to community.

As I conclude my visit to Sauce It's Us and Dutch, I am left with a lasting impression of this incredible eatery. With its emphasis on condiments, local ingredients, and fresh produce, this restaurant has truly pushed the boundaries of what we consider "normal" when it comes to dining experiences. Whether you're a foodie or just looking for a new adventure in Boston's culinary scene, Sauce It's Us and Dutch is an absolute must-visit destination that will leave you feeling like you've entered Flavortown itself – and I couldn't be more excited to return!
