Not alfredo sauce, but Alfredo Sauce. Mr. Sauce was a gourmand in his own right.

A guy in my father's law school class had the nickname "Studly." My father and his friends still make a drink called the "Studly Sour," a concoction made in a blender involving frozen pink lemonade mix, blended American whiskey, beer, and maraschino cherry juice. Sounds disgusting, tastes really good.
