Hey, all! My name is Ellen. I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY and I’ve just started becoming interested in writing. I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while and now is the perfect time to introduce myself to this. So please bare with me while I navigate this new world of blogging, lol. I think I can speak for everyone reading this that 2020 has been a major dumpster fire. I still can’t believe I forced myself to stay awake just for this year to turn out the way it did. I was ready to get this blog started when 2020 began but just as I was getting ready to start it, Covid-19 hit. Bars and restaurants were apart of the mass shutdown and getting take out wings isn’t the same as sitting down and eating them fresh from the kitchen. Now that New York is opening back up, I’m ready to get this blog started. I wanted the name of this blog to have something to do with the city that made chicken wings famous. Loganberry is a Buffalo staple and it has a very unique and delicious taste. It reminds me of summers at Crystal Beach growing up and the drink has an all around summer feel. So I turned that drink into a blog title that screams Buffalo. One thing most people from Buffalo can agree on is their love of chicken wings. I’ve only met a few people, my fiancée included (big yikes), that don’t really care for them. For someone like me who loves going to new restaurants and bars to try wings, this blog was a perfect way to not only have a reason to eat one of my favorite foods, but to let readers know where to hit up next for a chicken wing dinner. This blog is not here to rank which wing place is better than another or to try and find Buffalo’s best wing, but it’s just to simply write about what wings I’m eating on a particular night and to give my opinion on what I like about them and how they taste. I’ll pick a place, I’ll eat my wings, then I’ll come home and write about them and give my opinion on how I thought they were. Pretty basic and simple. I put together a list of the top 5 places I’ve eaten chicken wings:
These are the places I’m going to start my blog journey, in no particular order. I know I’m guaranteed a delicious wing at every single one of these establishments. Let’s be honest though, you’ll always get a good wing no matter where you go in this city. I can only count two times where I had wings that were just down right nasty. It’s not a common thing. I will always take suggestions on where to hit up. My favorite part of this whole process will be trying new places so definitely hit up my inbox if you have any ideas. I hope you guys enjoy reading this blog as much as I will enjoy writing it :) and just a reminder... don’t EVER dip your wings in ranch. Blue cheese only.
