An 814 Twist on the Classic Buffalo

Gather 'round and let me tell you about a sauce born and bred in the heart of PA Appalachian mountains...The 814 Sauce.

Bedford Roots, Simple Pleasures.


I come from Bedford, PA, a place where life moves at a slower pace and comfort food reigns supreme. Growing up, options were limited, but one thing remained constant: my love for chicken wings. Buffalo wings, specifically.  Being a stone's throw from New York, the "authentic" buffalo sauce influence was strong in our local restaurants. A recipe taking hot sauce and adding butter and Worcestershire to it! Yeah, that was our jam!


The Sweet Inspiration of Home with an 814 Twist.


But Bedford is more than just wings and buffalo sauce.  Fall is a magical time there, with vibrant foliage, plus a festival, that draws visitors from all over.  This abundance of maple syrup and apples is another source of deep pride in that community. So, when I dreamt up the 814 Sauce, it felt natural to incorporate the sweetness of maple syrup with the fiery kick of buffalo.


Confucius has stuck with us for his quote. "Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." Let's bring life back to simplicity with this sauce.

The key to 814 sauce is balance.  We don't drown the buffalo heat in sweetness, but rather add a subtle touch of maple that complements the spice beautifully.  Just like Bedford itself, the 814 sauce is about keeping things simple and delicious.


Back in the day, our local restaurants didn't have access to a fancy pantry. They relied on readily available ingredients to create magic.  That's the spirit behind this sauce!  We use everyday ingredients, the kind you might already have in your kitchen, to create an extraordinary flavor experience



Making Magic in Your Kitchen.


Here's the beauty of 814 Sauce: it's versatile!  Want to add a unique twist to your favorite dishes?  Here are some ideas:

  • Dip It Good:  It makes a fantastic dip for fries, onion rings, or even chicken fingers...really any chicken meal.


Our sauces aren't just about killer flavor, They're about capturing the essence of a place. It's about food traditions passed down through generations, and the simplicity of using what you have on hand. Capturing the pride of a community known for its beauty and warmth, or harshness and creativity, you name it, we bottle it.


So, next time you're craving wings or looking to add a unique twist to your favorite dishes, give our sauces a try. They might just become your new favorite way to smother any dish.
