Ron Duff didn't invent chicken wings. Ron Duff isn't the founder of Duff's Famous Wings in Buffalo. Ron Duff is, however, in very large part responsible for the ever-spreading chicken wing phenomenon we all love and experience today. On Sunday, May 7, the world lost one of the wing game's most important pioneers at the age of
Read MoreWe’ve long maintained that the word “best” is purely subjective and that ranking and rating chicken wings and wing restaurants is futile (and arrogant) because everybody has a valid opinion. However, reporting on what is “most popular” is fact based; like science. And today, I fancy myself a
Read MoreAs the popularity of creative chicken wing flavors continues to explode across the landscape, new ideas for featuring those wings is clearly next up. During the rise of craft beers and local breweries in the early 2000’s, “beer flights” became a popular method for people to sample different flavors and styles in one sitting. You may have...
Read MoreThat is the question. Scientists have discovered compelling evidence that suggests I may have been an actual Wingaddict long before I ever ate chicken wings. At the grocery store with my mother (and my two little brothers) I’d often get lost because I dropped anchor in the condiments aisle while mom kept
Read MoreThe "North Central Trail" is the fifth path on the new CT Wing Trail and features eleven wing spots mostly around the Hartford area and directly north. While none of these spots have yet to be featured on Wingaddicts RELAPSE episodes (which places them in the CT Wing Hall of Fame) FOUR of them are on the schedule to be added in 2023. Shhh. Can...
Read MoreAs we reflect back on the year 2022, our third full year at Wingaddicts, what a special year it was. In the spirit of all the “Year in Review” recaps we’ll all be forced to endure for the next week, I thought I’d beat them all to the punch! Indulge me! We started the year off by soft launching our ever-improving Wingaddicts App (free in your app...
Read MoreMy father and I meet for breakfast regularly at our favorite diner on the planet. We always go at the same time, sit at the same table, and order the same thing; coffee and the hash special with eggs, well-done homefries and wheat toast. We've had it a hundred times. This morning, as I sat and looked around the diner I took a minute (maybe for the...
Read MoreEver since I was old enough to squirt ketchup on my french fries at the diner, I have been a lover of "external sauces." Every chef's nightmare, I reach for the A-1 Spicy for my 32 oz ribeye steak. I wanted to get married in the condiments aisle at the grocery store, but my wife wouldn't have it.
Read MoreI was reading an article this weekend from WYRK (a country music radio station in Buffalo) that said “Chicken Wing and Ranch Milkshake Goes Viral; Buffalo is Horrified.” You might have seen the meme showing the vanilla milkshake with wings, ranch dressing, hot sauce being served at a University of Miami baseball game.
Read MoreAt the beginning of my senior year in high school, in the fall of 1981, exactly zero people went into a Connecticut restaurant and ordered a plate of chicken wings. They simply weren’t on anybody’s menu. And why would they be? While some restaurants used them for soup stock, chicken wings (like chicken necks, backs and feet today) were a part of th...
