As the documented scion of White Trash, I must differ. In tried and true trailer trash culture, the "au jus sauce" is served in a small dipping bowl and you pick up the sandwich and dip it on the way to the mouth. And so, in parts of the Midwest and West, it's also called a "French Dip". Brian was obviously born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
