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

Winter/Spring 2021 Chicken Wing Power Rankings (1-69) & Tiers
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
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Sports City Pizza Pub
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
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Prohibition 2020
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

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Brunner’s Tavern
Brunner’s Tavern, located on Main Street in Buffalo/Amherst was one of the more requested places I try that I haven’t been to yet. They’re not specifically known for wings (more on that below) but enough people have praised them to get me intrigued enough to give them a whirl. The bar and atmosphere were certainly … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Mooney’s Sports Bar & Grill (Military Rd)
I’m a big sports bar guy and quite frankly there’s a lack of good ones in Western New York. Lots of spots slap up memorabilia on the walls and call themselves a sports bar, but Mooney’s Sports Bar & Grill on Military Road actually feels like one. I love going to this place for that … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Connor’s
I get tons of suggestions on my Twitter or Facebook on spots to hit, too many of course to ever realistically visit every place mentioned. Ironically, not a single person mentioned Connor’s in West Seneca, other than my buddy who lives in the area and wanted to get together for a lunch literally in my … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Snyder Bar & Grill

I never even heard of Snyder Bar & Grill in Amherst until Buffalo News sportswriter Jay Skurski suggested we meet up there to have wings before taping a podcast immediately after. I get countless recommendations from fans of places on Twitter and can confidently say this … Read More
