My pilgrimage to the wing holy land didn't result in as much wing consumption as I had planned, but on my last night in Buffalo, I hit up what is arguably the best place in town. Duff's has 2 locations that I know of: one in Orchard Park at Route 20 and Orchard Park Rd, and another in Bufalo around Millersport Highway and Sheridan (I think). I always go to the one in Orchard Park. They have recently expanded their wing sauces, but in the past they had only one sauce that was simply cut by butter to make different levels of heat for their monstrously sized wings. Simple. So freaking delicious. We usually get an order of Medium Hot for some kick, but it's almost guaranteed that we'll get an order of Mild Medium because of the great flavor without any overpowering heat.
The food is simply incredible, but the entire experience in the restaurant is fantastic. The beer list is adequate in size but epic in the quality of beer on the list. There are televisions everywhere and if a Buffalo Sabres game is on then it's sure to be on every screen. The waitresses are what my friends and I describe as Hooter's girls with a little more self respect. I'm not sure if I can pump any more adulation into this one review so I'll just leave you with my rating of 6 out of 5 and let the rest of you see for yourselves if you ever get a chance to visit one. It's my rating scale, I can do what I want with it. Until next time, just wing it.

- As far back as I can remember, chicken wings have always been my favorite food. Growing up in Buffalo, NY, I was fortunate enough to have a large variety of wings to sample from numerous restaurants. Almost every restaurant in Buffalo serves chicken wings, and most places do a very good job of it. I moved across the country for college and I realized very quickly that the secret of seasoning, cooking, saucing, etc. a quality wing was knowledge that has not spread far from Buffalo. Now I search the country for wings that are up to par, often ending with great disappointment. When I go to a restaurant that I have never been to I feel a sense of duty to throw caution to the wind and see how that establishment prepares its wings. In this blog I will help you ferret out which places suck and which places you just have to go to. Until then, just wing it.
