Buffalo Sauce

Cultural Context

Buffalo sauce originated in Buffalo, New York, in the 1960s, created at the Anchor Bar. It was initially used to coat fried chicken wings, becoming a staple in American cuisine. The sauce is celebrated for its spicy, tangy flavor, often paired with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks. Today, Buffalo sauce has transcended its origins, appearing in various dishes from pizza to sandwiches, making it a beloved condiment across the United States and beyond.
