Buffalo Wild Wings 2 with Leslie Lee III

"Buffalo Wild Wings 2 with Leslie Lee III" is Episode 265 of *Doughboys*, hosted by Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger. "Buffalo Wild Wings 2 with Leslie Lee III" was released on August 20, 2020.

## Synopsis

Leslie Lee II (*Struggle Session*) joins the 'boys to talk about Keto in quarantine, food in Japan, and to revisit Buffalo Wild Wings. Plus, a *Star Wars* edition of Slop Quiz.

## Nick's intro

In 1960, the new American Football League established a franchise in Buffalo, New York, named in a fan contest after frontiersman and Wild West showman, "Buffalo Bill" Cody. The Buffalo Bills would go on to develop perhaps the most fanatical fanbase in the National Football League, despite a legacy of pain that includes four straight Super Bowl losses and their greatest offensive player being O.J. Simpson.

And the Bills are one of two things that put the upstate New York metropolis on the map; the other being the spicy-sauced bird limb of disputed local origin known for its eatability and alcohol-absorption properties, the Buffalo wing.

In 1982, two Buffalo ex-pats, Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery, relocated to Columbus, Ohio, noticing a paucity of proper wing joints in the city. They decided to open a Buffalo wing spot, notably not a "wing stop," of their own in the Buckeye State capitol, savvily locating it next to sports powerhouse, the Ohio State University, serving wings alongside a roast-beef sandwich called The Weck.

The wings outlived The Weck and with its vast dining rooms and laser-focused marketing tagline of "Wings. Beer. Sports." (formerly pitched by comedian Steve Rannazzisi), this asexual Hooters grew into one of the notable chain success stories of the Oughts, currently sitting at 1200+ locations.

And while social distancing might preclude a dine-in experience this coming NFL season, when Buffalo Bills fans aren't suplexing each other through flaming folding tables at tailgate parties, they just might be chowing down on the output of the world's largest sit-down wing specialist.

This week on *Doughboys*, we return to Buffalo Wild Wings.

## Fork rating

The first time the Doughboys reviewed Buffalo Wild Wings was five years prior in episode 19 when both Nick and Mitch rated it four forks (and it made the Golden Plate Club).

Buffalo Wild Wings also lost to Wing Stop in the Wings region of the Tournament of Chompions: Chicken Fight. (It would then lose in a Fat Chance Kitchen battle to Church's.)

## Quotes

**Nick**: Emma recoiled when you said that. Visibly flinched.
**Emma**: Before we started recording, Mitch told us about how sticky his floor is, so I guess that means your floor is covered in dead babies.

## The Feedbag

Question: is there anything you haven't eaten in the last 15 years, you'd like to revisit?
