Hey there,

I was checking for Swiss Chalet dipping sauce on Amazon and eBay and it seems to sell for about $3 a packet after shipping. I looked for it when I was in Buffalo early this week, and couldn't find it.

Do stores sell it? If so, how much is it? I won't mind paying the $3/pack if it's in line and not an online 'you-don't-think-you-can-get-it-anywhere-else-so there' price! LOL!

That stuff is good! Easily found in any Canadian grocery store. Three dollars is not a crazy price.

Have you been to Swiss Chalet restaurant?

Hello Guy!

Was just thinking about you the other day, and here you pop in; just like Endora. *LOL*

Hope you are well and good to see you posting again.

You can always take a page from our grandmothers and mothers

That is make your own from pan drippings after roasting a chicken. It is all that chicken fat which gives the sauce flavor.

Don't know about in USA, but Walmart shops in Canada carry those packets of Swiss Chalet gravy mixes.

Hey Guy,

Yes, I've been there once... or a hundred times!! I lived in Buffalo until 1987 and the one on Niagara Falls Blvd was my go-to for birthday dinner. We'd also go there just to go out. After moving to MA Rich and I went there with a friend from Bflo when we'd go that way to visit, and I'd bring home a quart or more of the sauce. Shame about the closing. The sauce IS incredible, though! Always get a spare bowl because the fries and roll get dipped too! I remember when they introduced ribs, thinking the rib sauce would be just as good- pass!

Launderess, I've seen the copy-cat recipes and have been tempted to try them. I wonder... could sugar be used instead of xylitol, and cornstarch instead of xantham gum?

Chuck

Xanthan gum

Is used as a stabilizer and thickening agent; cornstarch or even flour (if one knows what one is doing), would both work fine IMHO. Our mothers, grandmothers, and generations of cooks/housewives/chefs have used various other natural substances like corn starch for thickening gravies/sauces.

As for xylitol, only "sauce" my mother ever added any sugar to was red for macaroni, and even then just a pinch (depending upon quality of tomatoes). Why a sweetener is added to chicken gravy is beyond me, but guess it keeps with trend of adding sugar to almost everything these days.
