The other 2 were unknown to me, but tasted fine: Plum and Bacon Alfredo.
On a secondary note, of course wings are good in Buffalo... but my all time faves, believe it or not, are found in Detroit. I'd give you the name of the hotel, but you might stalk me and cut me into little pieces. I will offer you this, however, the best pizza is in New York, the best sushi (in the states) in Burbank, and you should always, ALWAYS ask what the house specialty is. If you ask a restaurant in Switzerland to add onions and cheddar cheese, you're probably going to be disappointed... |

Another Buffalonian weighs in...
I am going to have to agree with other posters. I have never had wings anyplace outside of the Buffalo area that are very good. If you want to think of them as something else, that's fine, but they are not BUFFALO WINGS! No ranch sauce, no honey mustard, no breading etc. blechhhh!
And my favorite around here are Duff's, also. I sort of confine myself to eating them a few times a year, because little fatty fried things dipped into blue cheese are not the best food for the waistline, but they are pretty yummy...:D |
When in Chicago...
you must journey to the Bird's Nest. They have unbelievable buffalo wings. HUGE wings done just right. Plus, if you hit them at happy hour (5-9 pm), they are $0.20 each!!! AT leat they were in 2005 - the last time I was in the windy city...

Im fairly simple when it comes to wings in general, but if your ever in the area, check out Dave & Busters in Hollywood, FL. Its a local thing they do, not chain wide and I swear that these are the best wings ive ever had...Excellent ^

That used to be my closest D&B. I never tried the wings, though. :( They did once offer me $50 for my D&B 10th anniversary T-shirt from the original in Dallas. :)

I am not from Buffalo, but there is something special and consistently good about wings in Buffalo ^
It's probably a hometown pride thing. Kind of like making cheesesteaks in Philly, pastrami sandwiches in NYC or gumbo in N'Awlins. It's something you do right or you don't do at all for fear the natives will tar and feather you otherwise. ;) |
