About the Recipe: Surprise! The old classic has a new style and flavor. The combination is a savory popular treat that will amaze you with how delicious it is. At the Indianapolis Speedway, Aramark Sports and Entertainment will be featuring their thicker side fries with crispy strips of pork, which are drizzled with red-eyed gravy and the brightness of pickled pepper relish as a concession item. It’s a have-to-try combo.

What is Red-Eyes Gravy?
It is a coffee-based gravy that is rich and dark, usually combined in the South with country ham or flavored with bacon drippings. An interesting story involved Mark Twain, who is said to have named the gravy when dining with a friend one morning. It seems that a cook delivered plates to Mr. Twain’s table personally. Looking up, the great humorist commented, “That cook’s eyes are as red as this gravy is black? And the gravy was known as “red-eye” from that point on!

Story from: A Taste of the South by Terry Thompson
