Sauce Boss Southern Kitchen aims to ‘fill people up and send them home happy, like you do with family’

Draper • One waitress called me darlin’ and sweetie, and told me a particular sauce that accompanies lots of dishes — including the housemade pork rinds, fried green tomatoes and blackened pork chop — would be good for my soul.

Like the name says, Sauce Boss Southern Kitchen serves lunch and dinner with origins far from Utah. It’s the kind of “soul food” that executive chef and owner Julius Thompson grew up eating in the kitchen of his Arkansas-born grandmother; the kind that relies on pork and cornmeal and rich sauces that come from using lots of butter.
