The Story Behind Buffalo Wings

Buffalo wings were born at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York in 1964. Teressa Bellissimo improvised a late-night snack for her son and friends by frying chicken wings and coating them in a cayenne hot sauce and butter mixture. The dish became a national obsession, spawning an entire wing restaurant industry and making Super Bowl Sunday synonymous with wings.
