Some call it a dipping sauce. Others describe it as a buttery, salty glaze. The bottom line for foodies of all kinds is that the delicious condiment known as ZipSauce is the ultimate complement to steaks, soups, seafood, and even vegetables. If you haven’t heard of ZipSauce, prepare to be introduced to one of Detroit’s best-kept culinary secrets—a sauce that’s as dynamic as the city itself. This flavorful elixir has been a Motor City staple since the 1930s and has become a culinary sensation across the United States.
Its popularity grew to the point where restaurants started making their own version, according to Michael Esshaki, who owns the trademark to what he calls the Original ZipSauce.

Mr. Esshaki says, “ZipSauce is the ultimate ingredient for enhancing all types of dishes. It’s like a liquid seasoning that can be added to any recipe as a substitute for sodium and other seasoning. Like Chevy, Vernors, or Better Made, ZipSauce has become a household name in Michigan.”

Getting inspiration from different cuisines around the country, ZipSauce has become a canvas for culinary explorations, creating a blend used for unique and delectable recipes.
