Good afternoon everyone. Greetings from the River City. A friend and I have recently started packing and selling our hot sauce on a small basis and have been using the seemingly unlimited info on this site to help guide us along.

We've been making sauces for years, but it was only a few short months ago that we decided to jump into the waters of competetion and see where we stood. After our first contest we were voted "Best Wings in Chattanooga" beating out 10 restaurants including several of the national wing chains.

That win got us to tinkering with the idea of making and selling the sauce. We've got a lot of work ahead of us and are admittedly in the extreme amateur stage as our website and packaging prove. However, we feel like the goodness inside of our jars speaks for itself.

Thanks for listening and we look forward to trying some of your sauces. Visit us on the web at www.suckcreekwings.com

Thanks.

I'm glad you received it. I was surfing the net last week when I found your site and said what the heck, I'll send him a jar. Hope you enjoy it and we're looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Welcome Aboard!! Very interesting name. How did you come up with it? Just curious. I think it's cool.

The name really came about on a whim. When we entered the Chattanooga Wings Contest we didn't have anything in mind. They called us back a few days later and said they needed a name ASAP for the advertising. We put our heads together and came up with it post haste as more of a joke than anything. We went on to win the contest and the rest is history.

Suck Creek is a part of the Tennessee River near where we live. My wife hated it, but she doesn't like hot sauce either so what does she know.

Tina Brooks

she doesn't like hot sauce, no accounting for taste, that explains why she hates the name!

Fortunately, her taste has the saving grace in that at least she likes a chili-head enough to marry one.

I hope you've been leading her to the well and sneaking her drinks. ;)

We've had a few people tell us that we should change it because it's a corny name, but we like it. It stands out in a world of "out of control hotter than hell fire kick you in the groin burn your taste buds off" names of other sauces.

Plus, we're pretty confident in our product. We may be the goofy name in the mason jar, but once you get into it we think you're going to be hooked.

Fwiw, in a world where sex and bodily functions are the main names one reads, yours will definitely stand out.

Hey D & J,

Welcome to the forum! As lovers of good wings (and wing sauces), we wish you the best of luck. Maybe some of your stuff will have some success outside the Volunteer state,

Celebrity Wing Deathmatch???

Hmmm, Wing Deathmatch, I like it. To prepare for the insuing battle, I must first infuse my capsaicin-based homunculus with just a few more cyber-cultures along with injecting a small amount of the Batch #2 of ZERO into its cerebral cortex, so as to turn its 'hippo'campus into a 'rhino'campus, then, only then, will we be invincible. The metamorphosis of my little homunculus friend who resides in my crisper shall be unearthly, but so are our elixirs. But first, I need a beer. :beer:

Bubba, a while back you had mentioned a wing-off that was in the making in NJ. Have you heard anything more about it? I need more acolytes!

We're putting a bottle of Defcon 2 on our wings tonight. Looking forward to it.

DEFCON Creator

Great, for the best results, warm it up a little bit before you coat the wings, but DON'T boil it, you'll kill its ffragile little essence. Let the various vinegars grab your head and bring it to the plate. Enjoy!

Suck Creek Wings
02-14-2006, 01:35 PM
That's exactly how we rec. ours to be used. Just warm it up on low heat and toss the wings in it.

Yeah?

So when are you coming to Montreal... The Spice Boys would love a wing party.

Of course, bird flu being what it is up here, chicken wings are pretty dear. We might have to settle for chicken fried steak.

I make a very good chicken fried steak, but in place of wings???

Tina Brooks
02-15-2006, 11:13 AM
I dunno man, I've never actually had chicken fried steak. But I figure, it's gotta work better with wing sauce than tempura'd shrimp.

was watching a episode of king of the hill the other day and they were deep frying bannanas(have no idea what kind of batter they were using) candy bars...anything you can think of they were throwing it in the deep fryer.

There was a joint in Oregon that sold Deep Fried Snickers & Oreos - The oreos were pretty tasty, but very bad for the waistline :shock:

Tina Brooks
02-15-2006, 02:23 PM
Deep fried bananas, ok... they are close enough to a plaintain for that to make sense but Snickers and Oreos... that's just gross.

Au contraire....deep fried Snickers are fantastic.

Must be a Southern thang. I always heard those were big at the state fair back when we lived in Lexington, KY...but I just can't imagine an unholier combination to crank up your cholesterol. It should be sold along with a side of Lipitor.

Fresh roadkill is fine deep fried. Sheesh.

To each his own, however, if you try to pick it up in the summertime watch out, the sweaty festering meat makes the oil pop a lot. :lol:

Perhaps, but you are also the one who enjoys busting on the US, hence the reason and presumption of your guilt. Besides, "Dueling Banjos" in Canada? That'd be like polar bears in Corpus Christi. See, you ARE guilty.
