Dear Buffalo Sauce,

We’ve known each other for a while now and I don’t know if I’ve ever told you, but…I love you. Is it the Pavlovian way I salivate the instant I smell your vinegary tang? Is it the way your lip tingling spiciness melds dreamily with cold, creamy blue cheese?

And it’s not just your physical traits that make you so swoonable. No, Buffalo Sauce, it’s much more. You get along so well with others. Whether it’s chili, pizza, or a casserole, your versatility and heat makes any meal more exciting. Plus you bring a crowd-pleasing zestiness to any event! Talk about the life of the party!

Speaking of parties, in case you haven’t heard, the Super Bowl is coming up. And while the focus of the big day is on the two teams battling it out with the ol’ pigskin, it’s really about you, Buffalo Sauce.

There are a whole slew of your appetizers that would be great for any Super Bowl party, but let’s be honest, it’s your chicken wings where you truly shine. Hot and meaty, drenched in flaming orange sauce that beckons the hungriest of appetites. Maybe tucked on the side is a cup of cool, zingy, blue cheese dressing, and a handful of fresh, crunchy celery sticks. Oh, Buffalo Sauce, game day just wouldn’t be the same without you.

So, thank you Buffalo Sauce. You are truly the king of kings and the sauce of all sauces. And for that, I tip my chicken wing to you.
