Buffalo Wings

Buffalo Wings
Have you ever heard the Buffalo wings or chicken wings before? It is really the most popular food in Buffalo. Buffalo wings are chicken wing sections (called flats and drums), deep fried, and coated in sauce. Buffalo wings are named after the city of Buffalo, New York where they originated, and the appellation "buffalo" is now commonly applied to foodstuffs other than wings that are seasoned with the sauce or close variations on it.
Last weekend, my friend take me to the Buffalo Wild Wings, taste the delicious wings, and heard a interesting story about the origination of Buffalo wings. My friend told me Buffalo wings were first prepared at the Anchor Bar on Main Street, near the corner of North Street, Buffalo, on October 3, 1964. Teressa Bellissimo, co-owner of the Anchor Bar with her husband Frank, had the idea of deep frying chicken wings and tossing them in Frank's RedHot sauce for her son Dominic and his friends. One evening, on a spur of the moment, Teressa presented her son with a deep-fried and sauced creation, and they were an instant hit. At the time the recipe was created, chicken wings were typically thrown away or reserved for making stock.
After heard this story, do you really want to go to the Anchor Bar? My answer is yse. But Anchor Bar is located in downtown; it is far from South campus and North campus. I just ate wings in Buffalo Wild Wings(3035 Niagara Falls Boulevard, Amherst)which is the nearest one to North campus. This restaurant’s full name is Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar. It is a sports bar and restaurant franchise in the United States that is best-known for its buffalo wings. There are multiple large screen televisions viewable from all seats and a bar. People can watch sports game, drink and have a party in Buffalo Wild Wings.
The food in Buffalo Wild Wings is very attractive. There are 14 signature sauces for wings in order from mildest to hottest, but the original Buffalo sauce is composed of only six ingredients: cayenne pepper sauce, white vinegar, butter, salt, and garlic. The hottest sauce is Blazin which is very pungent. If you like spicy, you can challenge it. Besides wings, the restaurants also feature a full menu of salads, appetizers, burgers, and specialty drinks.
There may be another delicious food waiting for you discovering them. Enjoy your life at Buffalo, you will find a lot of interests here!
