Big Fork Brands was founded in 2011 by husband-and-wife team Lance and Ann Avery in Chicago, Illinois. Chef Lance combined his Iowa upbringing with his Chicago culinary experience to develop bacon sausage and later expand into pork snacks and Chicago-inspired sauces. The family-owned business puts flavor first and emphasizes distinctive recipes and relationships with small family farms. Its pork sourcing centers on heritage hogs raised outdoors in Iowa, reflecting the founders’ interest in how their food is raised as well as how it tastes.
Turn up the sport pepper flavor with Chicago Fire Sauce. This spicy Chicago-style hot dog sauce builds on the same seven-topping combination as Original, with extra sport peppers for a hotter profile.
The blend includes pickles, tomatoes, onions, yellow mustard, sweet relish, sport peppers, and celery salt. It brings the Chicago topping style to a pourable condiment suited to hot dogs and many other savory foods. Choose four, eight, or twelve bottles, each labeled 8 oz net weight.
These sauces are made in Chicago, Illinois, according to the supplier’s Chicago-made sauce materials. “Chicago-style” describes the recipe’s connection to the city’s hot dog toppings; the production statement is separately supported by the maker’s product graphics. The country of manufacture is the United States, while the growing countries of individual vegetables, oils, spices, and other ingredients are not specified.
Try it on a cooked hot dog, burger, egg sandwich, or pizza. The supplier also suggests tossing it with cooked wings or adding a small amount to a Bloody Mary. Start with a modest portion and adjust to taste; a marketing heat scale does not provide a standardized Scoville measurement.
Original Chicago Sauce base: Pickles (cucumbers, water, distilled vinegar, salt, xanthan gum, 0.1% potassium sorbate, less than 1/10 of 1% sodium benzoate, calcium chloride, natural flavorings, polysorbate 80), tomatoes, onions, yellow mustard (water, vinegar, mustard seed, salt, turmeric, spices), sweet relish (cucumbers, high fructose corn syrup, distilled vinegar, onion, salt, red bell peppers, xanthan gum, less than 1/10 of 1% sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, natural flavorings, calcium chloride, polysorbate 80, and oleoresin turmeric), sport peppers (sport peppers, water, vinegar, salt, calcium chloride, less than 1/10 of 1% sodium benzoate, sodium bisulfite, turmeric), water, and celery salt (salt, celery seeds).

Made in Chicago, Illinois, United States, supported by supplier sauce-line manufacturing statements and product-specific Chicago-made graphics. Raw-ingredient growing countries are not established; no 100% domestic-content claim is made.
Follow each bottle’s printed best-by date and storage instructions. The supplier’s inspected product text does not establish a single unopened or opened shelf-life duration for every sauce, so no duration is assigned here. Keep the bottle label available after opening.
Big Fork schedules sauce shipments every other day. Glass bottles are packed in a custom protective box; the supplier describes its protective bottle packaging as plastic-free. Holidays, weather, or other conditions may cause dispatch to be held. Tracking is supplied for shipped orders. Review the delivery service, destination eligibility, and actual shipping charge at checkout rather than relying on a delivery date or promotion shown on another website.
