Yes, it is very very good. I love it on a steak, and always ask for extra on the side. We don't have a TGI Friday's close by us though so don't go often.

I was just talking to my husband about this yesterday!

Here's a copy cat recipe if you ever want to make it at home!

Jack Daniels Sauce

• 1 cup water
• 1 ½ cups pineapple juice
• ⅓ cup Teriyaki sauce
• 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cups brown sugar
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• ¼ cup white onion, finely minced
• 3 tablespoons Jack Daniels Whiskey
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

1. In a large saucepan over medium/high heat, combine the water, pineapple juice, Teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and then immediately reduce to a simmer.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
3. Let the mixture simmer for about an hour, or until it becomes syrupy and reduces by half.

I agree! Yummy! I always ask for extra!

Have you actually made this if you did I gotta go to Shoo Rite today

I have tried making it at home, but I don't know if this is the exact recipe I used. As with most copy cat recipes it was close, but not exact to what you can get at TGIF.

I've made the copy cat recipe and it's closer to the actual thing than buying the bottles of the JD barbeque sauce at the grocery store.

I briefly worked there ages ago and I do know the JD glaze contains beef. So, if you're tweaking your copycat recipes... That's the extent of my insider knowledge. Lol.

Oh nice you worked there is it prepackaged or does a cook make it there?

Prepackaged, just like everything else. I guess the folks in the kitchen are technically cooking, but it's more like heating and assembly. Friday's is a well-oiled corporate machine. It's all about food cost and consistency. Allowing a chef to cook something from scratch would leave too much room for variation. Everything is shipped to the restaurant as close to its ready-to-serve state as possible (potato skins are already halved and scooped, for example. Just need to be dropped in the fryer and filled with cheese and bacon.) Even the side dishes, things like cooked rice and corn, are pre-measured by weight each morning and stored in plastic baggies so they will be ready to go after a minute in the microwave. That speeds up the ticket times, allows the tables to turn quicker, and ensures that plates aren't going out with an extra ounce of rice, because $$$$$.

Sound delicious thanks for the suggestion!

The recipe I use is from the copycat recipe website and has a bit of crushed pineapple and roasted minced garlic. I also don't think it has quite that much brown sugar. (I also up the JD amount as I like the flavor)
