The various "Joe's" restaurants around town all seemed to serve the
same super delicious tartar sauce (not a speck of parsley in it) back
in the days when they didn't open a can. The explanation given to me
was: people change jobs. So I guess whoever came up with it moved and
took the recipe, but it also stayed behind and so forth. I haven't
been served that particular tartar sauce in years. I've had lots of
house made tartar sauces in the mean time, but nothing quite like that
one. I never figured out what the secret was and it's lost to the
ages now.
