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

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Big Tree Inn
Because so many current and former Buffalo Bills as well as various sports media members can be found regularly at Big Tree, with the close proximity to the stadium a big reason why, it’s easy to assume their wings are overrated.

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: La Nova Pizza

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Dalmatia Hotel
Hotel Dalmatia is located in Riverside and I hit up in the early afternoon during the week with reinforcements. My wife, daughter, her boyfriend and my son joined me.

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Elmo’s Bar & Restaurant
Elmo’s Bar & Restaurant is located in Amherst—or is it technically Getzville? Does it really matter?

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Amherst Pizza & Ale House
I like podcasting, as evidenced by my future award-winning Moran-Alytics Podcast taking over the world. I’m also quite fond of chicken wings of late, as evidenced by a need for a better fitting wardrobe after this six week trip back to my hometown of Buffalo and subsequent binge that’s led me to 14 wing joints in … Read More
