The Buffalo Wing Phenomenon started here at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo.
 

Buffalo Wings - The Real Story

D. Bellissimo

I would like my customers to know the real

story behind our chicken wings. One Friday

night, back in 1964, I was working behind

the bar (as I still do now).  It was busy that

night.  My mother, Teressa, was in the

kitchen, cooking, and Dad, Frank, was

popping in the restaurant, greeting

customers. It was one of those good Friday

Nights. At about 11:30 P.M. a group of my

friends came through the door and they

were STARVING!  I told them to wait till

midnight so they could have what they

wanted.  I served another round of drinks. 

By midnight, they were really hungry.  I

asked my mother, Teressa, to fix something

for them.  About ten minutes later, she

brought out two plates and set them on the

bar.  They all asked, "What is this?"  To tell

you the truth, I was also curious to know

what those things were.  

They looked like chicken wings, but I was

afraid to say so.  To make a long story

short, yes, they were chicken wings. She

was about to put them in the stock pot for

soup.  She looked at them and said, it's a

shame to put such beautiful wings in a stock

pot. 

The rest is history.  Mother Teressa created

the famous chicken wings now served all

over the country.  where-ever you go, when

you mention chicken wings, remember

Mother Teressa and that famous night in

Buffalo, New York!

Food Menu

D. Bellissimo

Frank and Teressa and family

certainly have a good handle on what separates good from terrific when it comes to Eateries and Taverns.  The atmosphere has to be outstanding and it is.  The food has to be best of the best, and it is.  Historic significance gives a boost to the curious and when they show up, they get hooked on the atmosphere and the food.  In recent decades, Buffalo Wings and Sushi are the most historic changes in American Cuisine.  Who would have thought people would be happy about eating raw fish - or chicken wings?

The Anchor Bar

has it all.  It has art (above left).  It has

happy customers (left).  It has beautiful

waitresses (right!), ready and happy to

serve you your choice of Buffalo Wings

or any number of other delicacies from

the Anchor Bar's elaborate menu (way

down below).  The large horseshoe bar

can seat plenty of happy wing eaters and

those who want a table have a wide

selection (above, far right) with a view!

The Anchor Bar

has genuine historicity (far right, above)!  It was opened in 1935 during the Great Depression, just before the beginning or World War II.  They have more war stories in this place than they do at Rue - Montorgueil. And you can listen to them in ENGLISH!  Maybe that's where the symbol of hope - the anchor (left) came from.  The Buffalo Angel to the right is dropping by to try to figure what happened and why it is now an angel instead of a Buffalo. One can see that it won its wings after its demise. They're white instead of covered with Buffalo Wing Sauce.
