If you haven’t heard by now, Capital City Mumbo Sauce was featured in an awesome write-up on July 16, 2011 in the Washington Post, a national newspaper.
Originally we thought it was going to be posted in the Metro pages, but was pleasantly surprised to see our names listed on the front page!
Theresa Vargas did a great job highlighting our story and we are overly pleased on how the article turned out.
Arsha Jones was glad the windows in her husband’s truck were tinted. Six months pregnant and craving a taste from her District upbringing, she looked at the container in her lap, considered the 30-minute-plus drive home and decided she couldn’t wait. Eating with her hands and looking, in her words, “like a barbarian,” she swept crunchy chicken wings into pools of reddish-orange goo.
The mumbo sauce tasted just as she remembered.
“I was immediately taken back to when I used to eat this food every day,” Jones, who lives in Annapolis. “Before responsibility. Before bills, kids, marriage and being grown-up.”

I first tasted mumbo sauce in the late 70s after.After a night of clubbing my first stop was on 14th Street NW at a carryout place. I can’t remember the name of the carryout but their mumbo sauce was like none I’ve experienced lately. The [...]
I moved to Charlotte, NC in 1992 from Northeast DC area. I have always missed being able to order chicken and mumbo sauce from almost any corner Chinese food joint. When I saw a sign at the local Chinese carryout for mumbo sauce I screamed [...]
You should consider using a truck in DC to market your product…like the food trucks around downtown during lunchtime….have some samples out too. Your product will get high-level visibility. Just having a website won’t raise public awareness.
I saw your product on Fox 5 tonight. I would like to discuss with you, an investment interest in your sauce… Let’s talk, and take it to next level.
