Reynold's and Ric's winning hot sauce

I spoke to a company today about bottling a hot sauce developed by me and wing hunter Ric Kealoha.

The sauce's claims to fame are it 1. introduced a thousand Slavs to the joys of Buffalo wings and 2. won top prize at the 2007 National Buffalo Wing festival, an awkward footnote in the history of the Great Chicken Wing Hunt. Ric and I and five other hunters came to Buffalo to search for the world's best Buffalo wing. Not stake our own claim to the title. "We've been chasing our tail," declared hunter Ron Wieszczyk as Ric and I hoisted the silver trophy on stage.

Of course our sauce was declared ineligible for the hunt's top prize. We'll never know how Ric and I would have fared. Perhaps someday an enterprising young upstate New Yorker will repeat the hunt, and, finding me on a rocker chair in the Adirondacks surrounded by a garden of peppers, will taste my sauce and evaluate it for posterity.

In any case, it's gratifying to know our sauce may soon face an even tougher judge -- the marketplace and the invisible hand of millions of wing eaters.
