The Original Since 1964

On a Friday night in 1964, Dominic Bellissimo was tending bar at the now
famous Anchor Bar Restaurant in Buffalo, NY. Late that evening, a group of
Dominic’s friends arrived at the bar with ravenous appetites. Dominic
asked his mother, Teressa, to prepare something for his friends to eat.

They looked like chicken wings, a part of the chicken that usually went
into the stock pot for soup.

Teressa had deep fried the wings and flavored them with a secret sauce.
The wings were an instant hit and it didn’t take long for people to flock
to the bar to experience this new taste sensation. From that evening on,
Buffalo Wings became a regular part of the menu at the Anchor Bar.

The phenomenon created in 1964 by Teressa Bellissimo has spread across the
globe. Although many have tried to duplicate Buffalo Wings, the closely
guarded secret recipe is what makes Frank & Teressa’s the proclaimed “Best
Wings in the World.”

Alright, so the enclosed pic isn’t new, but it is pretty cool and I figured it would be a good place to start. I will be taking assorted photos from “The Road” in 2009 and will be posting them here – often with a riveting travelogue, a bit of American History or at the very least a hilarious back story. Please check back next week for some shots from the Great State of Texas…
