hair, no buffalo parts, or anything else connected to buffalo in this

I believe that those hot wings were first introduced in Buffalo, NY.
Nada to do with any animal.

That's a good thing, I'd hate to have one of them crash into my roof

Thanks for all who replied.
Oddly enough few people seem to know about this. A local Hardees sells
them, and I asked several of the workers the reason, no one knew.

If they did, they'd probly be working somewhere else other than
Hardee's.

I'm not sure people working at any fast food restaurant would know this. Of

Sadly, the folks in Buffalo probably don't know what a Hardee's is.
None in NY or most of PA.

I loved Hardee's in the 70's when I was in NC. Surprised they
never invaded NY.

Urk....yer not missing much. Hardees warped into an entity that
serves giant mystery-meat burgers wrapped in a paper diaper....with
the tomato, lettuce, pickles etc. on the bottom.

Nope. I think they're pretty much limited to the southern US (having
originated in North Carolina in 1960). I remember my father always had to
have a Hardee's sausage biscuit when he and my mom set off on a long trip
(They do make really good biscuits.)

What did you expect? I was interviewed by telephone last night about where I shopped for food. When I mentioned Garden State Farm Market, the interviewer asked me how to spell it. It took three tries to get "garden" right.

A couple years ago I had to call tech support. The guy had such a thick
accent I could hardly understand him. I was looking all over the
monitor for the Castle icon. I asked him many times to clarify it
because I couldn't see any damned castles. I eventually realized he was

I once rented a car in Charlotte, NC. The attendant asked me where I
was staying locally. I said "the Tar Heel motel"; she wrote down "Tire
Hill Motel." (Counting the spare, each car needs five "tars.")

buffalo wings originated at Frank and Teressa's Anchor Bar, of Buffalo
New York.

http://www.anchorbar.com/original.php

Wings used to be cheap -- the popularity of Buffalo wings drove up the
price, making deep fried hunks of breast meat economically appealing.

Chicken Kiev. Chicago pizza. Think for a while and you'll be able to
come up with plenty of foods that are named for their point of origin.

I do "buffalo whole chicken" using the cheap on-sale chicken. Just as tasty
and more meat in each bite.

It's a figure of speech. Chickens like to roam free, like the buffalo
in that old song. If the "buffalo wings" are made from factory
chicken, the restaurant is perpetrating a fraud.

I saw a show on Discovery or Travel or Food...one of them,
that had the annual Buffalo chicken wings festival or something
like that. A big annual event with wings and a contest anyway.

One of the principals, NOT an outsider, said it was the only
reason anyone would want to come to Buffalo. I haven't got
that far north so I can't say but it did seem a bit rude to
talk about your own town that way.

It's part of the rust belt. It has definitely seen better days, but it
is not that bad. There are some very nice parts of the city. There is
nice country scenery around it. There is a nice ski are less than 50
miles south of it. They gets lots and lots of snow. The west wind across
Lake Erie picks up lots of moisture and then dumps it on Buffalo.

Brooklyn has redeemed many of his past sins with this statement.

The Anchor Bar in Buffalo. I have been there. A friend of mine opened up
a bar in St.Catharines in 1976 and we scooted over to Buffalo and
Niagara Falls NY to sample wings and to try to get recipes.

Many many years ago, long before our time, in a distant past in the
wild wet there lived a creature called the Buficken. It was a small
creature that resembled a cow but had feathers and wings. Much like
many animals...it was nearly killed off for it's tasty wings. today,
they are raised in a very secret location that not even the CIA or the
FBI know there whereabouts. And now you know the rest of the story.

Well, there IS or WAS a beefalo. It came up one time on that show
with Orson Bean, and Kitty Carlisle could NOT say it without a laugh.

We raise Beefalo down the road a bit from where I live in Western
Australia.
This is from our Rural Radio show, the Country Hour


WA Country Hour Home • Story Archive • WA Country Hour Summary

Beefalo - Clinton McRobert
With the rise in popularity of composite cattle breeding for eating
quality, it's timely to revisit one of the more intesting compsoition
breeds in Australia, Beefalo. Beefalo is a cross between domestic cattle
and buffalo, or bison as they're known, with a minimum bison content of
3/16ths, and breeders have recently formed their own national society.
The Australian Beefalo Society was formed recently to guide the small
number of Australian producers past the challenges the group face. In
WA, Manjimup cattle producer Roy Decke has been growing beefalo for over
10 years. The vice president of the new society has recently bumped up
his herd with a number of pure breds.

I ate a beefalo burger at the Mid-South Fair in Memphis in 1975 I threw up
10 minutes later. Of course that could have been because it wasn't properly
stored. <shrug> I was 15. I wasn't checking to see whether or not the
burgers were on ice before they were cooked. But to this day, when I hear
the word "beefalo" I cringe.

Doubtful. I was feeling perfectly fine before I ate the beefalo burger. I
was perfectly fine after I barfed it up, too.
