This weekend I took a very long road trip to Buffalo NY, all in the name of delicious buffalo wings, and we weren't
disappointed. We started out running a fun .5K which pretty much adds up to .3 mi, or about 1 city block. Once we got to the finish line in Dunn Tire Park, we started our wing tasting round. The wings were
served with all
types of flavors. We had A
sian flavors, traditional buffalo wing flavors, lemon pepper,
BBQ, and garlic. The wings were cooked different ways, we had slow smoked, grilled, and fried. All variations were delicious, but we had to pick favorites. The
Lafayette Tap Room, 391 Washington Street Buffalo, NY, was by far the best. This place had a wing that would make you give your last dollar for another taste. The
Lafayette Tap Room used a
delicious rub on the wings, and then smoked the wings until the meet was falling off, topping it off with a variety of sauces. The sauce was delicious and if offered to purchase, I would have
definitely taken a bottle home. Rounding out runner up, Swings, 3204 Bailey
Ave Buffalo NY. 14215. Swings, are the self proclaimed Wing Specialists. The
title is well deserved. Swings served fried boneless wings with a lemon pepper sauce that was out of this world.
After consuming wings for 2 hours we cleansed out pallets on cool watermelon, butter dipped roasted corn on the cob, and
fruit smoothies. I suggest anyone that is a fan of wings check out this National Buffalo Wing Festival annually, Labor Day weekend.
This being my first food festival, I will
defiantly be attending more. I'll keep you posted.
