Nick's intro[]
Buffalo Bill Cody
In 1960, the new American Football League established a franchise in Buffalo, New York, named in a fan contest after frontiersman and Wild West showman, "Buffalo Bill" Cody. The Buffalo Bills would go on to develop perhaps the most fanatical fanbase in the National Football League, despite a legacy of pain that includes four straight Super Bowl losses and their greatest offensive player being O.J. Simpson.
And the Bills are one of two things that put the upstate New York metropolis on the map; the other being the spicy-sauced bird limb of disputed local origin known for its eatability and alcohol-absorption properties, the Buffalo wing.
In 1982, two Buffalo ex-pats, Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery, relocated to Columbus, Ohio, noticing a paucity of proper wing joints in the city. They decided to open a Buffalo wing spot, notably not a "wing stop," of their own in the Buckeye State capitol, savvily locating it next to sports powerhouse, the Ohio State University, serving wings alongside a roast-beef sandwich called The Weck.
The wings outlived The Weck and with its vast dining rooms and laser-focused marketing tagline of "Wings. Beer. Sports." (formerly pitched by comedian Steve Rannazzisi), this asexual Hooters grew into one of the notable chain success stories of the Oughts, currently sitting at 1200+ locations.
And while social distancing might preclude a dine-in experience this coming NFL season, when Buffalo Bills fans aren't suplexing each other through flaming folding tables at tailgate parties, they just might be chowing down on the output of the world's largest sit-down wing specialist.
This week on Doughboys, we return to Buffalo Wild Wings.
Fork rating[]
The first time the Doughboys reviewed Buffalo Wild Wings was five years prior in episode 19 when both Nick and Mitch rated it four forks (and it made the Golden Plate Club).
Buffalo Wild Wings also lost to Wing Stop in the Wings region of the Tournament of Chompions: Chicken Fight. (It would then lose in a Fat Chance Kitchen battle to Church's.)

–Mike Mitchell to Nick | ||
The Feedbag[]
| “ | I decided to celebrate my birthday this past Sunday by going to Taco Bell for the first time in about 15 years. I had a Crunchy Gordita Crunch, a Doritos Locos Taco, a Chalupa Supreme, and a Quesarito. The chalupa was my order in high school and that held up for me. The Crunchy Gordita was satisfying, but the Quesarito was my favorite item that I tried. I wish the shell of the Doritos Locos taco was more nacho cheesier, but overall 4.5 spoons.
Question: is there anything you haven't eaten in the last 15 years, you'd like to revisit? |
