Five Guys

Invented in Buffalo

The Anchor Bar, Buffalo.

Chicken Wing Ground Zero.

Do you grow any of your own?

We have at home. Carolina Reapers (proprietary seeds), scorpions, and habanero hots.

The scorpions have the best flavor. And are used in extremely small quantities.

And as far as jalapenos, there's so many varieties, you cant really say "they're hot," or "they're not hot." They vary radically (as do habaneros).

Invented in Buffalo

The Anchor Bar, Buffalo.

Chicken Wing Ground Zero.

Anchor sauce isn't even one of my top five favorite sauces. It's the sauce that makes the wing. I would rather have Sal's Sassy Sauce, Country Sweet, Boss Sauce before having any of that junk that Anchor puts out.

[Dr_Phibes]

:? You'd get strung up for that in Buffalo, not big on the Anchor Bar either, but there's too many to name. Gabriel's Gate or Duff's just to get started. Rochacha is Garbage Plates*, there's not a wing joint of repute known outside of the town.


*which sounds delicious

[Rooster]

I don’t really get the whole chicken wing thing. They’re all bone and skin with a tiny sliver of meat, making them too much effort to eat when compared to almost every other part of the yard bird. Chicken strips from the breast? Yep. Thighs if you like dark meat? Yep. Drum sticks? Yep.

I suppose it started as a marketing gimmick so that restaurant owners could rid themselves of useless portions of the chickens they sold much like cow’s tongue. Who eats that stuff?

[Goober McTuber]

You've just had shitty wings, probably from a rooster, not a hen. Local place called Chicken Lips does an enormous wings business, the dry-rubbed being far and away the best (a mix of 24 herbs and spices with very sufficient heat). And the wings are decent sized. A proper chicken wing has plenty of meat, and a superior skin to meat ratio. Can't stand that nasty Buffalo sauce, though.

Wings are basically niqqer food.

Be careful what you say, you ancient reprobate. Remember what happened with the Rutgers women's basketball team

All I did was call some brillo-pads a spade and that set it off. Do they are not have wire-brush hair? And obviously their coon-genes help them rise to the top of the basketball ability bell curve, so along with that comes the proto-primate attributes.

Then that dink head Moonves fired me. Hahaha looks who is laughing now he's busted for doing the women for years and years. Nappy hair myass.

[Goober McTuber]

Nappy hair myass.

Did not need that visual.

[Rooster]

SS, is it a flavor thing? A price point thing? A ratio of effort to consumption thing? I remain mystified why if all aspects are equal (the dark meat vs white meat, crispy skin, the tenderness of the meat, etc) someone who loves chicken— as I do —wouldn’t select other more... bountiful portions of the bird to eat. Or is it perhaps a comfort type meal which harks back to something you ate as a kid and you associate good memories with that meal? What makes the wing a better choice than a different part of the chicken? I genuinely want to know.

[MuchoBulls]

Or at Culvers, with fresh never frozen beef. Five Guys is over-hyped and over-priced.

Huge fan of Culver's!!

Ranch dressing on wings is an abomination in the sight of the Lord. Get some freaking blu cheese Sam.

What is it with you people south of the Mason-Dixon Line trying to ruin food?

They're both acceptable.

Get the hell out of here with that shit. Who told you that Tom Hanks?

[Screw_Michigan]

I prefer bleu cheese but ranch is acceptable.

I knew that would rile some folks up.

Another wonderful California creation.

I randomly drove by the entrance to this place a couple years ago without knowing about it. Definitely a WTF moment.

You gotta read this great story. Who knew ranch dressing history would be so interesting?

Ranch rules!

Red Hot

Just... no.

Yes, that's what "Buffalo Wings" are made with, and... just... no.

They're both acceptable.

You know what's good with ranch?

Not much.

Ranch sucks. But props on kicking Mikey's ass.

[smackaholic]

I have done honey sriracha peanut butter wings at home that were kinda cool. Need to play around with the recipe some. The last batch were a little too peanut buttery.

BTW, peanut butter just might be the most versatile awesome food there is. That shit can be mixed with an amazing variety of things.

And if I make some and you dip them in ranch....I will fight you.

OK so my demented mind is playing tricks on me.
Not the first time.

There's a Hidden Valley in Templeton (SLO County not Santa Barbara) that has a sign that’s similar to the “original” one in the picture (which apparently was actually in Colorado) Least that’s where I think I saw it. :?

Don’t care much for the stuff anyway.

[Mikey]

OK I haven’t completely lost it

Sessing about crank again?

[BSmack]

As if I needed further proof ranch dressing should never mix with wing sauce, I give you this.
