Anchor Bar – Buffalo, NY

This historic establishment was founded in 1935 and is the home of the Original Chicken Wing that was created in 1964. It was thought up by Teressa Bellissimo who made a batch of wings in a secret sauce to satisfy her hungry son and his friends. Needless to say, the result of a mother’s love turned into a sensation that can be found all over the world.

When I heard this story on both the Travel Channel and the Food Network, I knew the Anchor Bar had to be on my food bucket list of places to visit.

I arrived to the restaurant with an appetite and I didn’t want to fill up on any other items on the menu except the wings. I got the Medium Wing Sauce. This is supposedly the original flavor. It still had some kick but was not an overwhelming heat.

Check out their website to read more of their history and see their full menu. If you do not get an opportunity to visit the Anchor Bar in person you can always order their sauces at their on-line store and bring little taste of Buffalo home.
