Food Finders: Readers help locate a special tartar sauce

Because so many hard-to-find foods are available online these days it’s become a lot easier to procure them, but it’s always nice to find a local source. So while Dale Porray emailed that Original Big Boy Tartar Sauce, being sought by Karen Racutt, is available at shop.bigboy.com, Melissa Brearey and CeCi Schreiber reported finding it at Smart & Final. “They also had the BB Cocktail Sauce this time!” Brearey added.

For Rich Papaleo, who’s looking for spinach that’s not the “baby” variety, Ann Brown suggested Smith’s.

For Chris Darden, who’s looking for Sabrett natural-casing hot dogs, Jan Visser said they’re available at some Sprouts Farmers Markets, including the one at 635 S. Green Valley Parkway in Henderson.

And for Kay Garnish, who’s looking for gluten-free whole-grain bread, Lee Ashman recommended the multi-grain brown-rice bread at Trader Joe’s.
