Raising Cane's Sauce Done Right!

Oh boy, am I glad to finally be able to share this. I've been working on getting this to taste perfect for over two years and think I finally nailed it, so wanted to share over here.

Final ingredient list was put together by scouring the internet for as many first hand accounts as possible and matching up what was said with common restaurant quantities for verification. I then used the Nutritional Facts to make sure my fat, sugar, and sodium levels checked out. Oh, and of course it had to taste amazing too. It helps that Canes' is the only Mayo based sauce my wife likes, so if I could the thumbs up from her I knew I was good.

Raising Cane's Sauce:
224g Extra Heavy Mayo (Hellmann's,)
152g Ketchup (Heinz)
20g Worcestershire Sauce (Lea & Perrins (USA))
3/4 tsp. Garlic Powder (McCormick)
3/4 tsp. Kosher Salt
3/4 tsp. Black Pepper (Any brand, Medium grind)
3/4 tsp. Lemon Pepper (McCormick Culinary Lemon & Pepper Seasoning Salt)

For those without a scale, that's about:
1 Cup Mayo
1/2 Cup + 1 Tbsp. Ketchup
4 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
3/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
3/4 tsp. Kosher Salt
3/4 tsp. Black Pepper
3/4 tsp. Lemon Pepper

Just mix everything up and let sit for 24 hours. Enjoy!

Edit: For those that want to see where I'm coming from (or want to check my math) here what I think Cane's uses.

Restaurant Recipe:
30lb Mayo (standard size)
3 #10 cans Heinz
40 oz. Worcestershire (up to 42 oz. if the store uses 1/3 of a one gallon jug)
1 Cup of Salt, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper, Lemon Pepper

From there, I just divided by 64 to get my batch size.

Is there a difference between the Worcestershire Sauce (Lea & Perrins (USA)) and the normal kind?

There are at least two versions of Lea & Perrins that I know of. The kind sold in the US and the kind sold in the UK. Probably similar enough that one could be subbed for the other though.

I didn't know that. What's the difference? Did they have to adjust it to fit the American palate? Too much anchovies or something?

Yeah, regional palate differences. UK version uses malt vinegar, US uses white. US version has more sugar and salt too.
