Restaurant chains that want to let diners customize their meals — but balk at upending their kitchens — have found the answer: sauce.
Buffalo Wild Wings Inc. is introducing a wing sauce made with Mountain Dew this year, and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen Inc. is coming out with a red hot honey sauce in October.
