Description

On this episode of the Food Fight Podcast, we’re heading to Scranton to talk about a sauce that started in a family pub and grew into a regional favorite. Peggy’s Marinade & Dipping Sauce began as a house wing sauce recipe at Kelly’s Pub and Eatery, but it quickly turned into something much bigger — bottles on supermarket shelves, Scranton pride on every label, and flavors that have gone far beyond the original.

I sit down with the creators behind Peggy’s to hear how the idea was born, what it took to bottle up their first 7,200 sauces, and the challenges and wins of turning a local favorite into a thriving business. From the Electric City sign on the bottle to bold flavors like Parm & Garlic and Sweetheat, this is the story of how passion, family, and a little Scranton grit turned into Peggy’s Marinade & Dipping Sauce.

If you love wings, food business stories, or just want to support a true Scranton original, this episode is for you.
