The Chicago part is actually debatable. Some people claim that Mumbo Sauce was first created in North Carolina.
It's pretty common knowledge that DC didn't create the sauce, but it was perfected in the City.
To quote Jay-Z some other town made it a hot line, DC made it a hot song.

Duh! Mumbai sauce is nothing but mild saucei was tryna find out who originated mild sauce and came across this..
it takes Chicago natives of a certain age to recall "mumbo sauce."
Although the condiment was created in the 1950s by a South Sider and was used at several rib joints, its popularity here waned except among an older generation, those familiar with the brand said.
But across the country, and for decades, the tangy, sweet barbecue sauce has been considered the flavor of the District of Columbia. There, the condiment is religiously heaped atop fried chicken wings and fries at take-out spots and other foods at Asian restaurants.
"D.C. has fiercely claimed mumbo sauce as cultural property," said Lehia Franklin Acox, a spokeswoman for Select Brands, which owns the Chicago-based sauce company. "But it actually has a clear history and basis and origin in Chicago."
Now, the name has come back home.
Recently, after two years of court battles, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board found that a D.C.-based company could not take the name from its Chicago founder.
The legal challenge came when Arsha Jones, the owner of Capital City Mumbo Sauce in D.C., filed a petition to have the Chicago-based Select Brands' trademark registration voided. Capital City argued that because the name was so popular in D.C., it should be considered a generic term, like aspirin.
"Mumbo sauce has been a longtime staple; even when my grandmother was little she remembers eating mumbo sauce, and she's 81," Jones said. "It is commonly used and easily found. You can get it at almost every eatery.
"Philly has cheesesteaks. Chicago has deep dish pizza. We have mumbo sauce, and it's our thing."
Mumbo sauce does appear to be part of the subculture of Washington, a condiment so beloved it has inspired a pop-up museum exhibit and has been referenced in rap songs and a local music style called Go-Go. When NBA player Kevin Durant unveiled his shoe last year, the D.C. native said one shoe color was especially created to resemble the color of the condiment.
Even as the city gentrified in recent years, the gooey, flavorful sauce stuck around, moving from the menus of carry-out food shacks to upscale restaurants.
"In this town, your business would cease to exist if you did not have mumbo sauce," Jones said. "It's not associated with anything in Chicago. This city is represented by mumbo sauce and a few other things.
They tried to steal house music as well lol

1) Mumbo sauce ain’t no damn huff ass mild sauce. Mild sauce to us is the shyt they sell at Taco Bell. Y’all just mad Wale thought y’all shyt’s overrated asf back in the day
2) Steal House music from who? From where?
Outside of Crystal Waters and Doug Lazy, name some well-known House artists and DJs from DC 
nikka this is a GoGo/Funk/R&B/Jazz/Gospel city. House music will get some play here but not as often as GoGo or even Rap music, let’s not bullshyt with this. You better take that dumb shyt you talking up with Baltimore who actually deals with House music on the regular.
