I remember in "A Bronx Tale", C asked that black girl if she could cook "macaroni and gravy". Then in The Sopranos, I saw Paulie call it gravy and Uncle Junior called it red gravy in a scene with Tony... I thought "gravy" was strictly an east coast thing. We call it both sauce and gravy in Chicago...mostly gravy.
That cousin in CA I mentioned.....she was originally from Chicago. Most here eeem to be from the NY/NJ area that say "gravy" though. Maybe it is a geographical thing after all.
