We love eating at Famous Dave's Barbeque. My hubby always get the Devil's Spit Burger. He loves the sauce and the spicy pickles on it. When I was at the grocery store the other day, I noticed they had the Famous Dave's Devil's Spit Barbeque sauce so I grabbed it up. We were having burgers for the fourth of July so I figured we could try to recreate them at home. Hubby went by the restaurant and asked to buy a side of pickles. They had them in jars which also leads me to believe that they probably sell them at the store too and I just didn't see them. OK, long story short...our made-at-home Devil's Spit Burgers were great! Maybe not exactly the same but close. We spent $2.99 on the sauce and $3.49 for the pickles, both more than I'd usually spend on BBQ sauce and pickles, but when you consider that we still have a ton of sauce and pickles left and that the burger at the restaurant costs $9.00, I think we saved quite a bit of money!
Looking for at-home versions of your favorite restaurant fare is a great money-saving idea. And yummy, too! More and more restaurant chains are packaging at-home versions of some of their items. Do you have a favorite restaurant meal that you can now make at home?
