the ciero

An uncommon condiment mixture of honey and hot sauce, often for deli sandwiches or wings in upstate NY or Westchester. Nowadays used to describe any unusual or niche ingredient to a dish in deli-enthusiast parlance.

First used and popularized by the eponymous football player Justin Ciero, ca. 2010.
