## Synopsis

The 'boys welcome back Nicole Byer (*Girl Code*, *Loosely Exactly Nicole*) for a wide-ranging discussion, as the first round of Munch Madness, the month long journey to determine the best chain restaurant chicken, concludes. In the Wings Region, sports bar juggernaut Buffalo Wild Wings takes on grab and go outlet Wingstop.

## Nick's intro

"*Wide right.*"

That was the call when placekicker Scott Norwood's last second 47-yard field-goal attempt missed its mark, losing Super Bowl XXV for the Buffalo Bills. They'd go on to lose Super Bowls XXVI and XXVII and XXVIII, a four-year run of futility that is fitting for this troubled pro-football franchise and its tortured fanbase.

After all, this is a team whose most famous player remains O.J. Simpson.

But the city in upstate New York, the state's second-most populous, thankfully has another claim to fame: Buffalo wings, the seasoned flats and drumettes that have become as American as the NFL.

The two biggest Buffalo-wing joints in the U.S. took opposite paths to glory: one, a draft beer-pouring bar that draws big crowds to watch live sports; the other, a to-go-focused outlet that skimps on the dine-in experience, but provides ease of ordering and pick-up.

But when it comes to flavor, whose wings fly through the uprights?

This week on *Doughboys*, the last match-up of the Quarter Pounder Final round of **Munch Madness: The Tournament of Chompions: Chicken Fight: Wing Region** - Buffalo Wild Wings v. WingStop.

*Let's a-go!*

## Chicken Fight Rules

Nick, Mitch, and Nicole all visited Buffalo Wild Wings together and shared their orders (Evan Susser went with them, as well). They seem to have gone to WingStop individually though.

With these results, Wingstop advances to the next round of the Chicken Fight, while Buffalo Wild Wings will compete in Fat Chance Kitchen.
