Permission granted. I'll try not to get weird about it, and try to proceed as if everything is normal. Let me know how you make out.

Too late.

I'm just saying jumbo wings disgust me, and if you order buffalo wings, there's a 50 percent chance that's what you get

Proletarian here. I'm convinced that the cardboard box is the unsung hero of the chicken wing. Every other means of transport only steams the wing into a soggy shadow of of it's former glory.

There's only one NFL stadium that was 100% privately funded and that's MetLife.

 

No other NFL stadium has more than 88% of private funding.

I can't do take out wings. They just.......... change. Wings need to be eaten in the establishment that made them.

That's obviously preferred, but when driving isn't an option…

 

It's amazing how much more they change down here, delivered in those sealed plastic Chinese food containers as opposed to the cardboard box. It's like the meat actually turns into skin,… boiled skin.

My spayed girl dog was so happy to see her neutered boy dog friend today, she mounted him right out the door and did the bunny hop for 20 feet. That's how I feel when I read M/Y's posts. It's not natural, but it's sheer unbridled beauty.

 

On that note....yes, the big wings are actually inferior and substituted in for specials at places. You get broken bones, and while more meat, not quite the taste.

 

I love the chicken leg idea....in fact, I bake them Sicilian style with olive oil, s/p, the superfecta of Simon+Garfunkel spices, pecorino-romano cheese, and Italian breadcrumbs. The key is to douse them in olive oil so they sort of fry, cook them long and low, then zap them the last 15 minutes without foil. I have a 50% strike rate of equaling Santora's, but it costs about 30% as much on value.

Once I get the kickstarter set up for his Cubist Novella (tentatively titled "Frack Envy"), I'll give you the honor of being the first supporter.

Down here they call them Buffalo Wings... it erks me. Also Jumbo wings would confuse the f##k out of ppl in this town.

 

My official rule is that I will not eat anything that is labeled as a buffalo wing. It makes it very difficult. I'm pretty much stuck to just waiting until one of my two or three trips home each year. But now there is a decent chance that I won't be making those trip anymore. The thought of not being able to come back for wings and beef on weck keeps me up at night. That's a world I don't want to live in.

Good wings are not hard to make, so I don't get why places that sell good wings outside of buffalo are hard to find.

You do actually find plenty of Buffalo transplants who have their own restaurant up and running. You just have to find them.

It's not the wings, it's the company.

I think I wouldn't be able to eat another wing down here. I miss the old days where there was a good wing place on every other corner. Hell we used to go to Elmos out there on Millersport Highway and they had really good wings. Favorite part of night classes was the after party we always had there.

Outside of Buffalo places get all nimbly bimbly with there wings and screw them up.

 

Also Blanching wings kills them... I'm looking at you Duff's and Anchor bar.

shrader, I feel for you. I have reason to come back to Buffalo reasonably speaking for the rest of my life, but realistically it's only 13 hours of driving round trip, so it's completely worthwhile as a day trip. Maybe less if you can find a good place that does both in Rochester or Syracuse.

 

As for wings, at one point I used to try the wings wherever I was; on travel, when I lived in Maryland, etc. After awhile I realized that I needed to one of two things: accept the wings for what they were or stop eating them. It seems like there's a analogy to this season in there somewhere. When I ended up doing (before I started eating better in general) was start ordering "Hot BBQ". By being BBQ based, my brain no longer jumped back to 25 years of learned behavior on what a wing should be, and instantly they were far more enjoyable.

I guess there's always the potential of weddings bringing me back into the area, but even with that there aren't too many options. I'll be at one in the Finger Lakes regions this summer, so there's one brief trip. After that, I can only think of one person who could potentially have a wedding in the area. Not good odds.

You and all wing-deprived WNYers should get a deep fryer. They are only about $35-$40 on Amazon and you can make wings that are very close to Duffs or Gabriel's Gate quality. The only issue is that it is essential that you have a porch or backyard or some other outside space to set it up -- if you use it indoors it will stink up your house for a good 4 days.

Turkey fryer rocks for this. I can make 20+ wings at a time in my turkey fryer. 360 degrees for ~12 minutes = crispy, delicious wings.

 

Must do it outdoors though.

Complete and utter nonsense sources report that all that's left is for Battista to approve the contract. :devil:

@pham1717

Nolan said any insider reports that he's signed his contract are wrong. He did say it's close and he's looking forward to it.
