      I’m copying my original message to the creator of this vid, but also want to pass on my appreciation and love to your uncle and family. Buffalove to you; your Uncle is our hero!
      (Here’s the comment):All the love and extreme gratitude for this video from a lifelong Buffalo girl. I’ve been telling locals about this forever, and if I have anything to do with it (which I am!), this will be acknowledged by my city at some point. There are a lot of us who know that not only is Anchor Bar not the original wing place, it’s also not the best wing place in Buffalo.
      Much love, fam. Again, thanks for this video! I’m totally throwing this up on my socials.

    How long have we been frying chicken? How long have we been covering up spoiled meat with spicy sauces? How long have poor people been eating less desirable cuts of meat? Buffalo wings are as old as us.

      Just like oxtails! Now you can find oxtails (cow tails) at any restaurant. With that being said, oxtails use to be $1.00 per pound in the 90's, $0.50 per pound in the 80's. They are now $10.00 per pound now

    John and Paul Young! John Young actually brought the recipe to Buffalo, NY from D.C., (Mumbo wings) but he put a bigger twist to it more kick to it! 🎉🎉🎉😊 The Anchor Bar didn't discover anything all they did is use John Young recipe, and cut the wings in half. John Young is the founder of The Buffalo Wings!

    No matter what you do at a profit and success someone will find a way to copy and duplicate it. If it isn't patented someone will find a way to lay claim to it's invention. During slavery anything of value invented by a slave was taken from him and claimed by his master Wonder if any of these masters were christians. It's called human behavior.

    Henry Perry King of KC Barbeque deserves a video.
    Super Bowl and coverage of the KC teams name on Indian Country Today got me thinking. Drop one letter and you have the KC Chefs. However a KC Chef would cook barbeque. Then I found Henry Perry the King of Barbeque... Well why not the KC Kings. It drops the insult to Indigenous people, and respects KC and Black Culture.
    And The Chop... Well they're good on the grill and drop the HiYu HooHah tune and put in a good jazz or blues rhythm, Cha Cha the Blues or....

    Yes contribution but not the origin...otherwise all food is just a rip off of those before them...those like yes inspired and should be credited...but not the origin, unless its a copy its not the same...by the way chefs keep their recipes at least back then close to their chest...so how did the italian american couple use it...they obviously came up with their own but in the same vein like all new recipes...and yes their italian american and werent considered white so to is their anything whites dont steal...they werent white and looks like they didnt steal anything either...

    a marinade of chicken 1736 - the dictionarium domesticum by Nathan Bailey. (England) breaded and fried chicken wings more than 100 years before you started, to think that no one added sauce for 224 years is a bit much.. sorry buffalo 🤷‍♀

      Stopped what he did in England doesn't compare to Mumble wings (DC) or Buffalo Wings because I guarantee you that it was a tasteless hot mess! What black people did to fried chicken recipes, nobody can compare! To be honest it was probably the Africans slaves in Britain who was actually cooking that fried chicken. Because British can't cook now so what make you think they could cook back then! Really Just Stop! 😅😂😂🤣🤣😙
