The labels may proclaim that these are “Where Angels Fear to Tread”, but I was more than willing to traverse the lands of Rippin’ Red Original and Hot Wing Sauces in search for buffalo wing nirvana. Produced by Rizzotti Foods LLC, the Rippin’ Red line was created in hopes to break out in an overpopulated wing sauce market. Is it capable of doing the job? Read on to see…

For my first review for Peppers and More I have Ott’s Original Wing Sauce. Ott Food Products primarily produces dressings, along with a BBQ sauce and the Wing Sauce. They are from Carthage, Mo and can be purchased at several stores in the surrounding areas. Check out their website at www.ottfoods.com to see their entire product line. The website has a very nice assortment of recipes that uses their products. I really like the very reasonable prices. The Original Wing Sauce is only $2.29 for a 17 ounce bottle. According to the servings per container a bottle will about 80 wings. Unless you like a lot of sauce on your wings like I do.

The next stop (just one of among many other forthcoming destinations) for fantastic St. Louis hot wings is the highly lauded Syberg’s Restaurant. Unlike most wing joints, Syberg’s is noted for having a noteworthy mustard-based wing sauce. Of source to give it credit, Syberg’s, with it’s four locations (five if you include the Syberg’s-owned Helen Fitzgerald’s Grill and Pub) is not a basic, “hole-in-the-wall” wing shack; most are sizable restaurants with expansive rooms, perfect for get-togethers with large groups of friends or family members. From past experience I would recommend Syberg’s when you and your clan need a family-friendly sports bar to hang out, eat, and have a good time.

But today’s review is not on the restaurant itself, but on their trademark chicken wings. To test these out for my Syberg’s review, I decided to order some for carry-out during a weekday lunch. I gave a call to the nearest location to my place of employment (which was the Dorsett restaurant). Since they have their Syberg’s mustard-based Famous Wing Sauce, Smoked w/ BBQ, regular Buffalo Hot Sauce, Tay’s Teriyaki Sauce, and the breaded variety with a sweet hot sauce (which I was anxious to try), I figured I would get four different kinds by purchasing two orders of 10 wings each and splitting each order, thereby having five wings with their own kind of sauce on them.

For years Culpeppers has garnered a rep as one of, if not THE best, wings joints in the St. Louis, MO metropolitan area. As most of you in the Gateway City know, you can grab the goods at, as of this writing, nine different locations in the Missouri side of the mighty Mississippi river.

For this review, I visited the Arnold location. The inside was brightly lit, relatively spacious, and felt visually comfortable. Although Culpeppers specializes in typical American/pub cuisine, you won’t find sports memorabilia adorning the walls, TV screens hanging everywhere, and female wait staff in skintight outfits. Its decor was unlike your corner “sports bar”: the walls were covered with hoidy toidy Italian and French liquor ads from the 1920s and 1930s. There was a fireplace. And everything was geared toward welcoming the entire family. All of which makes Culpeppers a unique entity to be renown for serving great chicken wings…

I’m beginning a series that features most the best chicken wings for sale in the greater St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area. To kick off the reviews, I’ll focus on one of my personal favorites, Imo’s Pizza’s Hot Wings. Now some of you may know Imo’s as the preeminent dealer of what is known as St. [...]

While shopping in the local Walmart the other day, I ran across a brand new hot wing sauce by Paula Deen. The bottle was a large 12 ounces in size, and had a nice painting of Paula in her kitchen. What was interesting, is that it said “HOT” Hot wing sauce. My first impression of [...]

I have heard really good things about this sauce over the last few months and was really looking forward to sinking my teeth into a good wing sauce. As I found out right away Mark is very passionate about cooking his wings as you can see from his website. Over my eating career I have had wings made several different way. Baked or fried.. Chicken is chicken. I believe that if you start with good chicken it’s pretty hard to mess up. What makes a great wing is the sauce itself. I was really looking forward to doing some good things with the product line that he sent me.

ick it to view full size. Appearance: Light Red Brick color. Somewhat cloudy appearance. Texture: Somewhat thicker than water. Aroma: Nasty aroma of artificial butter. No aroma of hot peppers, no aroma of vinegar. Very disappointing. Taste: Nasty taste of artificial butter. Slight hint of what Frank’s Hot Sauce should taste like in the background. [...]
