Our Story

It all started back in 1993, when I was working at a local restaurant in Mobile, AL. The restaurant had wings with only four sauces: mild, medium, hot, and three mild. After being at the restaurant for 3 years, I became tired of the same sauces, so one day I clocked in and went into the cooler and started grabbing different ingredients to come up with something that would change the taste of wings, at that restaurant forever. I only mixed 4 ingredients, that was tongue tantalizing… and it took the restaurant by storm! Then I decided I would try this sauce out on my co-workers, and they were amazed! So, I shook up more fried chicken wings using this sauce and gave them to some of our regular customers. When they tasted the wings with the new sauce, they all ramped and raved over the great taste and several customers asked, “what do you call this amazing sauce”? So, at that time I didn’t have a name. I called it Eric’s Mystery Mix being that my name is Eric. The customers thought it was a mystery because of the great taste.
