What is Chef's Special Sauce used for?

Is Chef's Special Sauce the same as Big Mac sauce?

What is Chef's Special Sauce?
Chef's Special Sauce is a creamy, tangy condiment typically made by mixing mayonnaise with ketchup, mustard, spices and pickles. It is more of a restaurant- or burger-joint-style sauce than a dish with one established place of origin, and recipes vary from kitchen to kitchen.
Its savoury, slightly sweet and sharp flavour works well in burgers, sandwiches and wraps, or as a dip for fries and other fried foods. Mayonnaise makes it rich in fat—about 31 g per 100 g—so a thin spread or small dip is often enough. For a lighter, less rich version, mix a little with plain yoghurt, adjusting to taste.
