This is a project I've been intending to undertake for a few years now. Since college, I've been a huge fan of the humble, yet mighty chicken wing. Going to school in Rochester during the eighties, I had only just learned about "wings" in my first year. Already ubiquitous in the area, due to the obvious proximity, were Buffalo wings. No Friday night was complete without someone in the dorm ordering a couple of pizzas and a bucket of wings. I was instantly hooked.
By my second year, I learned about a few other restaurants in the city that prepared their wings in other ways. Near to school, and nearer still to my heart (or is that stomach?) was Country Sweet Chicken and Ribs (which I honor with the first review posted). It took me a couple of tries before I got used to their flavor before I was hooked. These are the wings that began my love for this bit of cuisine, not to mention expanded my appreciate for fiery foods in general. Although I may think these are amazing wings, not many people outside of the Rochester area (save for those of us who went to school here) have even heard of this place.
So, what's this blog about? It's about finding those little-known places that deserve to be known. It's about giving honest reviews of all sorts of wings. It's about people sharing tips on where to look. This blog, I hope, will inspire road trips, adventure, a few scorched tongues, and perhaps a few new recipes!
I won't be able to accomplish all this blog is meant to without your input. I invite you to give your points of view in the comments for the reviews, suggest places to review, and perhaps even join us as a reviewer.
