Some sauces are made for wings—and a couple of Canadian legends raise the bar.

Their Halle‑Lujah sauce earned its name after Halle Berry called the wings there the “best in the world.” It’s a mild, silky, Louisiana-style sauce—one of four exclusive wing sauces crafted at Cunningham’s, each rooted in Montreal wing tradition and avialble through our website.
Fun fact: “Halle‑Lujah” narrowly beat out “Berry Hot” and “Halle’s Hot” in a fan poll.
