  • Delete as neologism. DarkAudit 03:12, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete - According to my google fu, Mambo Sauce was invented by John Mack Young, inventor of the Buffalo Wing, in Buffalo NY. Not opposed to recreation if it is reliably sourced, and not DC-centric. - Crockspot 05:16, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Buffalo wings were not invented by John Young. They were invented by Teressa Bellissimo. I grew up in Buffalo and own property less than a mile from the Anchor Bar. That being said, google seems to credit this garnish. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:31, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as uncited neologism and dicdef. The only ref is UrbanDictionary, which is a crappy sub-wiki source (and moreover features a racist Asian caricature in its "mambo sauce" definition) that's been popping up a lot as a source, when it shouldn't ever be used as such, forbidden as per Talk:List of Internet slang phrases and Wikipedia's rule against using other Wikis as references. Google doesn't help either. A few references testifying to the existence of the sauce, but very, very little discussion of what it is. Ford MF 07:43, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • weak Keep - I don't think it is that new, and mambo sauce is a BBQ ingredient lots of places Kansas City, for example. Smmurphy(Talk) 18:09, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - I got a Chinese menu in DC and it said to "Ask for mumble sauce" and had no idea what it meant until reading this article.70.88.231.185 23:05, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
