I grew up in Upstate NY. A surprise, I'm sure! Rochester to be precise. In 1980, my high school friend and I began to become regulars at a little bar & grill on the east side of the city. They had buffalo wing specials on Monday and Wednesday evenings. We would go and sit and discuss the order of the day over an order of wings. We would wait in anticipation until they brought the wings out and then with our mouths watering, we would slowly sink our teeth into this culinary delight. No sooner had we eaten a wing when we would both begin the rating process. Crispness, taste, size, non-greasiness! Ahhh, Heaven!

Upon going to college at the University of Buffalo, I quickly began to scout out the best wing places there as well. My two best friends and I would often brave a twenty minute walk in sub-freezing temperatures to walk to our favorite wing eatery to be warmed by the culinary heat of an order of buffalo wings. Ahhh!

Ever since then wings quickly became my favorite food. While I lived in Rochester I probably had wings 10 meals a week, at different places of course. I quickly began to know where the best wings could be found in Rochester as well as in Buffalo where I still spent a significant amount of time over the years. Today, I keep tabs nationwide and Wy's is spreading like wildfire!

I subsequently spent two years in the army, followed by my last two years of undergraduate school, and then graduate school, all out of the Rochester/Buffalo area. Unfortunately, at that time wings had not yet risen in popularity. I found it difficult if not impossible to find good wings at local establishments. It was at this point that I began to make my own. I started making my own buffalo wing sauce in 1990. It developed slowly and I made changes as revelations would hit me, often after tasting something unique in an order of wings that I had eaten somewhere.

It was only once I moved to Northern Virginia that I realized how good my sauce was. It was virtually impossible for me to find wings which were very good by Upstate NY standards. They are still not nearly as available as they are in Upstate NY, but good wings are breaking onto the scene there now too. Since 1993 I have had people tell me that I should market my sauce. I have gone into local establishments offering them my sauce recipe for free. Several restaurants refused my gracious offer without ever having even tasted it. I would have been satisfied to be able to have had a place to go for wings. Oh well. Those silly geese!

Anyway, as a result, here we are. Now the best wing sauce on the market is available over the internet and in a growing number of retail outlets and in some restaurants. It's also catching on over in England and soon to be the rest of Europe we hope. Don't be surprised where you might see Wy's Wings popping up in the future. In the meantime, we hope you truly enjoy Wy's wing sauces as much as our friends, colleagues, relatives, and acquaintances do. Enjoy! Thank my friends for encouraging me to put it on the market!

What is a Buffalo Wing anyway? I didn't even know Buffalos had wings, eh!

A Buffalo Wing is merely a chicken wing ala Buffalo. OK, so what is that supposed to mean?

Buffalo style sauce is cayenne pepper based sauce and usually has some spices added to enhance the basic flavor. These combinations of spices are what distinguish one Buffalo Wing sauce from another. We like ours. A lot! We have taken the best combination of spices that belong in wing sauce and made one heck-of-a sauce. Once you try it, you'll see why It is the best in wing sauce.

Because they originated in Buffalo, NY they are called Buffalo wings. Of course the wings were far tastier and had much broader appeal. A small bar on Main St. in downtown Buffalo lays claim to having begun this tasty culinary tradition. It supposedly happened back in 1964 when the chicken producers practically couldn't give wings away. They cooked 'em up and decided to sauce them up and place them out on the bar for their guests. The rest is history. After a couple of beers, hey, even pickled pigs feet start to look good. No offense to pigs feet lovers everywhere.

Today Buffalo wings can be ordered in just about every bar and restaurant in Upstate NY as well as in many others across the country and also in some of the finest restaurants nationally. They are quickly becoming one of America's favorite foods.

And of course we are laying claim to having the best buffalo wing sauces on the market!

Try it and see if you don't agree!
