2) Best Golden Cart Wild Card: Duke’s Mayonnaise
When it comes to delectable condiments, Duke’s is in a league of its own. Around 1917, Eugenia Duke began making sandwiches at home with her own original mayonnaise recipe and began selling them to soldiers stationed at Fort Sevier in Greenville, South Carolina. Word of mouth quickly spread, and the popularity of her sandwiches grew just as fast. Within three years, Eugenia expanded her sandwich business to local drugstores and grocers. Then shifted the focus solely to bottling Duke’s mayonnaise just three years later. Duke’s gets its signature flavor by using a higher percentage of egg yolks, a touch of paprika and a wisp of vinegar, delivering Duke’s famous twang. The extra egg yolks create a thicker, richer, and creamier mayo that has an almost custard-like texture. Enjoy Duke’s with your next sandwich, egg salad, homestyle biscuits, deviled eggs, or savory dip.
