LinkLinks Washingtonian: How This DC Condiment Grew Into a $2-Million Business By Editor On Dec 19, 2019 Last updated Dec 19, 2019 66 Share The origins of mumbo sauce are in dispute. Some say the tangy-sweet condiment originated at Wings ’N Things in DC; others claim it’s from Chicago. The same is true for the recipe, adapted from one District kitchen to the next as it gained popularity in the 1980s and ’90s. One thing is clear to Petworth native Arsha Jones, who founded Capital City Mambo Sauce with her late husband, Charles, in 2011: “New York has pizza, Philly has cheesesteaks. Washington has mumbo sauce.” (Mambo is an alternate spelling.) 66 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
