Frank's Red Hot is a Hot Sauce made from Louisiana Sunlongs, a variety of Cayenne Pepper . Its history dates back to 1896 to the ''Frank Tea and Spice Company'' founded by Jacob Frank near the banks of the Ohio River in Cincinnati, Ohio . Frank would in 1918 contract for the Estilette Pepper Farm in Louisiana where Adam Estilette and Jacob Frank became business partners. The two men mixed Spices , Vinegar , Garlic and Cayenne Pepper s; they blended them and allowed them to age, and created the original blend of Frank's Red Hot as it first appeared on the market in 1920 . It is known as the Secret Ingredient in the first Buffalo Wing sauce, concocted in 1964 by Teressa Bellissimo at the Anchor Bar And Grill in Buffalo, New York . As the story goes, Teressa and her husband Frank were about to close up for the evening when a group of their son Dominic's friends came in for a late night snack. To oblige them, Teressa prepared some chicken wings, splashed on a special sauce with Frank's RedHot Sauce and added celery and blue cheese dressing. In 1977 Frank's Red Hot was sold to Durkee Famous Foods . As Of 2005 it is owned by Reckitt Benckiser . Today, the company produces six different flavors all based around the original recipe:
