History Phase 1: Birth of the Famous Buffalo Wing
It is impossible not to know or hear about the Buffalo Wing that greatly improved the city’s economy. In 1964, Teresa Bellissimo, then hands-on proprietor and operator of family-owned watering hole known as the Anchor Bar, decided to whip up a new specialty for her late night patrons. The dish is a plateful of fried chicken wings smothered with a heapful of Teresa’s own concoction of a Buffalo spicy sauce; whilst partaken with a side dressing of blue cheese with celery. The only reason why Teresa decided on blue cheese is that it was the only one available.
As the dish became a hit and eventually sought after not only by local customers, but also by Buffalo City visitors, the now famous Anchor Bar Buffalo Wings became available in different levels of spiciness: Mild, Medium, Spicy Hot Sauce or Spicy Hot BBQ. Customers can even split orders into different spicy levels to make sharing enjoyable for everyone.
History Phase 2: The Advent of the National Buffalo Wing Festival
Despite its growing popularity throughout America and in some countries, Buffalo City tourism promoters never had it in their agenda to hold an annual Buffalo Wing Festival. The concept cropped up in 2002, when a Bill Murray movie “Osmosis Jones,” featured a compulsive binger obsessed with competing in a National Buffalo Wing Festival. At that time, the festival was only a product of the movie writer’s imagination.
Yet a Buffalo local named Drew Cerza, quickly took up the idea. In the same year, the first National Buffalo Wing Festival became a reality. It has been taking place annually and through the years, became instrumental in attracting greater numbers of tourists.
