Chef and TV host Anthony Bourdain brought his No Reservations show to Hot Sauce Williams for its Polish Boy sandwich. From The Plain Dealer, April 8, 2011:
"This institution has been zinging tongues and soothing tummies for decades. To call it a home-style place doesn't do Hot Sauce justice. The menu was actually born out of home recipes the Williams brothers grew up on in Tupelo, Miss. Based on the taste of the chicken wings and ribs - not to mention the sauce, which is a balance of tangy and spicy without being insanely hot - it must've been a happy home."

"Their menu serves up Southern comfort food classics: long and short ribs, okra, macaroni and cheese, fried fish and chicken dinners. ... The most memorable part of my meal was ... the hot sauce. It is thick and dense with a molasses consistency. No matter how hard and frequently you wipe and wash during the frenzy of eating, you will find sauce on your hands and elsewhere the next day. It never leaves you. Ever."
