Hot sauce is being put on just about any type of food nowadays. Believe it or not, there is an award winning hot sauce made right here on Delmarva. Sean caught up with the guy who started the company to get the story behind his famous sauce.

Rick Ewing, Delmarva native, started making this hot sauce 27 years ago. A friend and him started mixing spices together and they came up with one they liked. The recipe hasn’t changed ever since for their original hot sauce.

In 2010, they started bottling their own sauce and they had to open their own store in Seaford, Del. called EagleWingz, Something Hot Specialty Sauces. They make the sauce in the kitchen and they have a showroom to sell world class hot sauces as well.

Their original Chesapeake Brand hot sauce has won awards:

• In 2014, EagleWingz hot sauce was named the Best in Delaware by Delaware Today
• One of the Top Hot Sauces of the Year

Five different varieties: 

• Chesapeake Brand Original
• Chesapeake Brand Extreme
• Pineapple Teriyaki
• Cayenne Cassie’s
• Chesapeake Jerk Sauce

“Everyone of these were developed for the taste,” Rick says. They also sell wings so you can try out the different hot sauces that way. Something Hot also does private labeling for events as a fundraiser for the community.
