Buffalo Wings

According to various sources, there is more than one version of the origin of the buffalo wing; a common ground between each version involves the Bellissimo family and the year 1964. The family owned a small restaurant called Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York (hence the name: buffalo wing).

One version claims that Teressa Bellissimo had nothing to cook when her son, Dominic, showed up for a surprise visit to their restaurant with some of his friends from college. So she just decided to make something quick and easy. She deep-fried chicken wings, melted butter into cayenne pepper sauce, mixed both together, and… The buffalo wing was born.

Another version says that Anchor Bar had a delivery on the wrong chicken parts and had to improvise on what to do with all the wings. Again, Teressa had the vision to coat the wings with her special sauce to create a tasty snack.

Either way – buffalo wings served with celery slices and blue cheese sauce were an instant hit. Thanks to Teressa, we now have a traditional Superbowl snack …*
