Old memories here. Bham,Al early 60's,Dales Cellar (sp) was the premier steak house, it was downstairs in a celler,best steaks on the planet,that's where the sauce came from. Dale is probrably dead now but his product lives on. It is really mostly soy sauce, worchestire and salt but it's cheap and works well.We buy a local brand, Moore's Marinade,same thing, but I still like Dale's cause I took my first wife to Dale's Celler on our first date. This post will destuct in 60 seconds,LOL.

Ate there many times in the old days. Unfortunately it closed last year after maybe 50 years.The older family members died and the younger ones had other things to do. Interesting history,Ollie McClung was a nice guy who employeed mostly blacks and treated them like family and paid them well but didn't want blacks served there. He wasn't a racist,this was just Alabama in the old days. He mellowed a lot as time passed and his son took over the business and then the grandson.In the later years it didn't matter what color you were,you were welcome at Ollie's,times change. His employees received good retirement benefits when the place closed,and you are right,great pig pork BBQ,wish I had one now.
