Now American People Introduce With Number 3 Best Food, Buffalo Chicken Wings

Granting to the owners of the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, Buffalo chicken wings were first prepared there on October 3, 1964, by Teressa Bellissimo, counterpart of the Anchor Bar with her husband Frank. Upon the unannounced, late-night reaching of her son Dominic and several of his friends from college, Teressa needed a fast and easy snack to present to her hungry guests. It was then that she came up with the idea of deep frying chicken wings and pitching them in "Frank's Redhot" hot sauce.

Both Duff's and Rootie's Pump Room oppose this claim, saying that they, in fact, are the originators of the Buffalo wing. Rootie’s is no longer in business, but the ongoing rivalry amongst the Anchor Bar and Duff's continues to provide much entertainment and sometimes animosity between the 2 establishments and the patrons loyal to one or the other.

The popularity of Buffalo wings has developed such that there are now chain restaurants that specialize in Buffalo wings. Buffalo-style chicken wings are also often used in competitive eating events, such as Philadelphia's Wing Bowl and at the National Buffalo Wing Festival, applied every Labor Day weekend in downtown Buffalo. This is one of the few formulas on my list for which I can proclaim the origin is definitely the USA. As with BBQ, there are more Buffalo chicken wing formulas than there are yuppies in New York.
