Folksssssssssssssssss. I didn’t come to this review alone. My man Maniac and DJ Supreme from Trainwreck Sports joined me for a little Moran-Alytics Podcast collaboration. I didn’t see the inside of the bar because I went with Supreme to set up gear for their “Wing Reviewz” video series nearly while Maniac ventured in to pick … Read More

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Goodbar
Goodbar is part of the legendary Elmwood strip on the west side that has served legions of drinkers for several decades. As a Buffalonian I don’t call it a stretch to call it part of the fabric of the city of Buffalo. But—– how were the wings when I tried them? Read on to find … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Coles
Quite literally I’m writing the exact same lead-in I did for its next door competition/counterpart, Goodbar. “Is part of the legendary Elmwood strip on the west side that has served legions of drinkers for several decades. As a Buffalonian I don’t call it a stretch to call it part of the fabric of the city … Read More
Wing Review/QB Comparison: Wales Center Hotel
Of all the spots I didn’t get to among the first 40 wing reviews I’ve done, the Wales Center Hotel in is among the most requested, which made me realize I can’t have a serious review/ power rankings list without trying them. Are these wings worth the considerable hype I read on Twitter or do … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Blasdell Pizza
Blasdell Pizza has four locations throughout Western New York: Hamburg , South Buffalo, Dunkirk and Blasdell. Regretfully I’ve had wings at three of them, two on multiple occasions. Yes, that’s an ominous start and seeing this review won’t get any better, let’s just get this over with. PROS: If I’m being completely honest, nothing. CONS: … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Jokers
Located on Electric Avenue in Lackawanna close to the Blasdell border, Jokers has a classic dive bar feel, although the interior is actually quite impressive and makes up for the terrible parking options outside. The establishment has been around forever although it’s only been called Jokers for the past few years. They have a nice … Read More
Summer 2019 Chicken Wing Power Rankings
I love chicken wings and love power rankings things even more. After spending my entire life in Buffalo I moved to Florida in the summer of 2016. After trying wings at a half dozen Florida spots and detesting each I quickly realized how much I took wings back home for granted. While living in the … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Bar Bill
On a national level it’s Anchor Bar or Duffs that’s most associated with chicken wings. However, if you’re a Western New Yorker, Bar Bill in East Aurora is widely known as the most popular spot. Does it live up to the hype? Let’s dig in. PROS: Umm, yes it lives up to the hype. I … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Kelly’s Korner
One of my favorite things about wing spots is that much like the food itself, they come in all sorts of varieties. You got your fancy spots and your (affectionately known as) holes in the wall. Kelly’s Korner definitively falls in the latter. Located on Delaware Avenue and Hartwell in the heart of North Buffalo … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Anchor Bar
The first time I had Anchor Bar wings a few years ago I enjoyed them a lot. So much, in fact that I had them Power Ranked in my Top 15 and also ahead of Duffs. To say that caused a shit storm in my Twitter mentions is an understatement, but I don’t care. My … Read More
