TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY

Last Monday we posted the zoomed in photo (1st photo) for Mysterious Monday, and now it is time to reveal last week's New York State product.

What is Awesome Sauce? We are glad you asked! Back in 2012 a bunch of friends wanted to bring their wing sauce to life and after a lot of trial and error, testing and tasting they created a sauce that you will not find elsewhere. A spicy sweet and sour sauce with a hint of garlic. Great on chicken (wings), pork, ribs and even eggs. Makes a good dip when mixed with blue cheese, ranch or even cream cheese.

Awesome Sauce is the perfect find for the hard to buy person, swing buy our Taste NY market for a jar or two of these this holiday season!

Find a Taste NY retail store close to you to stop in and support local producers!
