When we started Wingaddicts back in 2020, we made the decision not to put “ratings” on chicken wings à la Dave Portnoy (and all his imitators), but instead to highlight restaurants and their commitment to the wing game. But people love lists. So instead of a “best of” list compiled on a computer by AI, I figured it was time to unleash history’s...
Read MoreWe've all seen it on a Chinese menu: General Tso's Chicken. It was at a Chinese restaurant back in the 80's where I first encountered General Tso's and I probably still order it six times a year to this day.

Read MoreOK. Well, Happy National Chicken Wing Day. Before the dawn of the information age, it seemed like we celebrated some kind of holiday or "special day" once every month or so. We had things like Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day, Labor Day, and President’s Day (after they...

Read MoreEverybody knows that Buffalo is the birthplace of the chicken wing game but it’s also super clear that the art of great wing making has since expanded far beyond the borders of Western New York.
