I'm trying to locate the recipe for the Thai dipping sauce that the
Big Bowl restaurant in Chicago uses with their spring/summer rolls. 
It is definitely heavy on garlic and red chilies, but I'm looking for
the complete recipe.  Help?

Greetings Saturation,

You've probably already checked the Big Bowl recipe book and found
there are no dipping sauce recipes in it.  I checked it at
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060194200/104-2551793-5321533?v=glance&n=283155
where I saw a customer review that stated the dipping sauce recipes
aren't in the book.

You might try reverse-engineering the recipe.  I've never experienced
Big Bowl cuisine, but I wonder if mangoes (or maybe even mango
chutney) might be a main ingredient in that sauce.  You might try
searching for a general Thai mango sauce, and work from there.

Good luck!

Best regards,
