Quaker Steak & Lube

The Wing Buffet

My first stop on my pilgrimage to Buffalo. The Quaker Steak and Lube sounds more like a place where you might get an oil change, and you're right. It began as a car garage that also served food, and the food became more popular than the car service. Tuesdays are All You Can Eat Wings nights, so I couldn't resist. I could go through a list of all of the flavors that I tried, but it's kind of pointless when everything that I tried would rate as a five out of five or at least close enough. My favorites were the Cajun, which in my opinion should be renamed to Caribbean or Jerk wings.

Flavors:
Mild
Medium
Hot
BBQ
Supercharged: third hottest sauce there
Cajun
Ranch
Golden Garlic
Atomic: second hottest
Louisiana Lickers
Honey Mustard
Arizona Ranch
Buckeye BBQ
Asian Sesame
Thai - R - Cracker
There is also something called the Triple Atomic, which is the Atomic sauce made with ghost chilis instead of habeneros, so it's supposed to be terrifying. My friend has had the regular atomic and has something close to post-traumatic stress disorder over it.

The Lube Tube

The Lube Tube. This is a 100 ounce beer with a spigot at the bottom. I'm not sure if there's really any reason for me to say anything else about this. It's just so beautiful. Check them out at www.quakersteakandlube.com/ Like I said earlier, it's a five out of five. Until next time (which is probably only four or five days away) just wing it.

Buffalo

In the coming days I will be making my annual pilgrimage to the chicken wing holy land. Expect a lot of very positive reviews over the course of the next 3 weeks.
