Nacho Anaya. That is, he was the host of a
Mexican restaurant called the Victory Club, and you go back
all the way nineteen forty three, some US Army wives

chicken wings if you ask your grandmothers, they threw them
away like they were thirst garbage, or you used it
to make beef or make chicken broth stock, okay, but

other than that, you didn't really eat them. And this
mother who owned the Anchor Bar made them for her kid.
She fried them and put like a cayenne pepper, like
a hot sauce, and she did put the blue cheese
out with them. So that's where the wings got their
started in nineteen sixty four. How many fun facts was that?
