Where to find the best of this iconic bar food

When people visit Buffalo, they generally have one question when it comes to food: Where can I get a good “Buffalo” wing? (FYI: Natives just call them chicken wings). For decades, the city has been associated with one of the most popular bar snacks in the country. There are some conflicting reports about how and when the chicken wing snack was created, but most stories point to Teressa Bellissimo from Anchor Bar coming up with the recipe to feed her son and his friends late one night in 1964.
