My favorite sauce at Buffalo Wild Wings is their Mango Habanero. It's the third hottest sauce on their list, and blends a good amount of heat with a nice touch of sweetness.

Move over Manwich, there’s a new Joe in town. As I’ve said in a previous blog, my wife and I prefer to make meals without the use of some prepackaged “box dinner” whenever possible. While Manwich is a fine product and a good go to when in a pinch, we prefer to whip up our [...]
