On this special episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is counting down all of his favorite (and least favorite) wing spots in Western New York, taking 97 spots and putting them into seven different tiers that includes his Mt. Rushmore for the year. He's joined by Tommy Seifert from the Buffalo Wing Coalition for his insight and opinions as well.
This is the fourth consecutive year on the podcast Patrick's done a wings ranking and tiers show. A spreadsheet and power rankings nerd, Patrick's been writing reviews and placing wing spots into tiers for years. As always some of the picks are controversial and heavily disagreed on, which of course is primarily because it's a completely subjective process where's it's purely opinion and no right or wrong answer. Patrick highlights several of his most underrated and overrated picks, which is documented through seven tiers: Waiver Wire, Roster Bubble, Depth Chart, Solid Starters, All Pro, Elite and ultimately the Mt. Rushmore.
Tommy has a lot of thoughts as well and discusses where he thinks Patrick got it right and wrong. The Buffalo Wing Coalition has been an amazing resource for people who love wings in the area and it continues to grow. They have their own pyramid of wings rankings, consistent reviews from places both popular and obscure and an incredibly resourceful list of wing specials by location, price and night that'll make going out for wings significantly cheaper. Make sure you check them out.
Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’sat 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time. Also big thanks to Imperial Pizzaand their two locations (1035 Abbott Road and 1655 Main Street), home of not only great pizza and tons of other delicious eats but also the best everyday lunch special in town.
Special thanks to local Buffalo band, Orange Zestfor allowing us to use their awesome single, “Old Friends” as the new official intro music for Talking Buffalo. Check out Orange Zest and be sure to support not only them, but local music!
