I live near Buffalo. Avoid this recipe at all costs..If you want authentic sauce it is Franks Hot Sauce and a bit of butter. Some people add a dash of vinegar.I have no idea where they came up with Tomato sauce! About the only thing they got close to right is the Bleu cheese.I dont know why they consider anything spicy and orange colored "Buffalo".At least they did not say to add paprika (to provide the orange color I guess).
