Hat Trix is located at 4923 Southwestern Blvd in Hamburg, merely a forty second drive from my physical office yet I’ve never actually been there before. I decided to change that, ironically on National Chicken Wing Day. A buddy of mine said she was going there and that they had a 50-cent wing special going … Read More
Breaking news: Mulberry Italian Ristorante has chicken wings. OK, that’s not really breaking news but I’d bet a vast majority out there didn’t know they served wings. I certainly didn’t and for good reason—Mulberry’s known as one of if not the premier Italian restaurants in all of Western New York, not typically the type of … Read More
Imperial Pizza is the gospel when it comes to pizza and wings for most people in South Buffalo. Seriously, it’s nearly sacrilegious to speak negatively of it in that part of town and trust me, I’d know. I’m not a fan of their pizza. I’ve considered it quite bland and comparatively overpriced. I’ve gotten into … Read More
After five long years I’m back in my hometown of Buffalo, only this time not a visitor but back for good. That means a great deal to me in many ways, and one of course is more access to wing spots than ever before. My first wing trip back me to Bada Bing on Chippewa … Read More
Covid has really sucked. Obviously that statement holds true in more ways than be counted but for the purpose of this post I’m referring specifically to chicken wings. Being a life-long Buffalonian currently (emphasis on that word “currently) residing in Florida, Covid severely hampered my ability to get back home to Western New York regularly … Read More
The Yelling Goat is located on Central Avenue in Lancaster and has been around for—actually I have no idea. It feels like it’s been around for quite a while and is quite comfortable inside. I went with a few friends who got things other than wings (blasphemy) including chicken fingers, calzones and a thin crust … Read More
Sports City Pizza Pub is a restaurant/bar on Niagara Street on the west side of Buffalo serving wings, pizza and craft beer that’s been around for a little over four years. They probably have a more expanded menu but frankly, I don’t care and didn’t look. Y’all already know what I’m about. I’ll be honest … Read More
Prohibition 2020 is located in Orchard Park, almost directly next door to Highmark Stadium (I still call it the Ralph but I digress). It was former called Biergarten and Tailgaters and who knows before that. I’ve had wings there under previous regimes and quite frankly thought they kinda sucked. Will Prohibition suffer the same fate? … Read More
I’m switching things up, sort of… I’m still ranking each chicken wing spot I’ve tried, 67 as of this posting from first to worst. However, I’ve added a new wrinkle to my extremely unscientific formula—tiers. Seven to be exact. The reason is quite straightforward. While still assigning a numerical ranking to each, in reality many … Read More
Moor Pat is a spot in Williamsville with a really cool name and I’ve had several patrons there suggest I add them to my growing list of wing joints to try and rank. Who am I to deny their fans? I didn’t do any prior research and therefore had no idea I was walking into—it’s … Read More
