This number 3 is something to celebrate??? BFLO, according to this list, has the world's SECOND best chicken wings. Do come to Chennai! LoL...

Beerball Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I know that the list is based entirely on the wing, but, I'm surprised that the beef on weck hasn't spread in popularity. Great sammich with a heaping of horseradish to clean out your pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I don't quite understand the list. It can't be based only on "best wings," since most of the other cities are there for other reasons. Is this based on best signature item of each city?

Fadingpain Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 That's a strange article and it's not particularly clear what is being ranked and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I would think Philly would be on that list, cheese steak is as much Philly as wings are buflist, and certainly more than chili in Cincinnati. Odd list Seems to be the case maybe kinda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd list Yeah, that whole 3 way, 4 way, 5 way chili thing does nothing for me. Cheese steak on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Yeah, that whole 3 way, 4 way, 5 way chili thing does nothing for me. Cheese steak on the other hand...I despise cincy chili. It is not real chili. That said, I think philly's cheese steaks are overrated. I have had much better cheese steaks in pittsburgh than in philly, and (sadly) I have had a lot of them in both cities so I have a good sample size.

The Poojer Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I wasn't disparaging cinci and chili, I know it's their signature dish. But when you think wings, you think buffalo, when you think cheesesteak you think Philly. I like the concept of cinci chili, but I don't think Cincinnati when chili is mentioned Yeah, that whole 3 way, 4 way, 5 way chili thing does nothing for me. Cheese steak on the other hand...

I have had much better cheese steaks in pittsburgh than in philly, and (sadly) I have had a lot of them in both cities so I have a good sample size. Agree on the chili. I am a little partial to my adopted home of New Orleans when it comes to food as well. New Orleans does not just have its own signature dish but a signature cuisine. You don't find many (or any) food lists that leave NOLA off. With that being said I am happy to see Buffalo recognized. I do wish though that they would get recognized for more than just wings as the food in WNY is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 But when you think wings, you think buffalo... Not this list. When they think of wings, they think Chennai, India first! WOW, just WOW! Who was the official taste tester? Stevie Wonder? Told him the wrong city he was tasting in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think Buffalo is usually underrated when it comes to lists like this. But as much as I love going home to Buffalo and experiencing all of the wonderful food it has to offer, it can't beat NYC. Just for the volume of choice alone.

This number 3 is something to celebrate??? BFLO, according to this list, has the world's SECOND best chicken wings. Do come to Chennai! LoL... "Chennai, India — India’s equivalent to Buffalo’s chicken wings." I have no friggin' idea what that means as the vast majority of the Chennai population is vegetarian and that is reflected in the local cuisine. That being said, I had some of the best (Indian style) meat and fish barbeque in that town. Agree on the chili. I am a little partial to my adopted home of New Orleans when it comes to food as well.

I do wish though that they would get recognized for more than just wings as the food in WNY is really good. I concur. I visit the NO area quite often and that region has the best cuisine in the US, bar none. Not this list. When they think of wings, they think Chennai, India first! WOW, just WOW! Who was the official taste tester? Stevie Wonder? Told him the wrong city he was tasting in? Unless I am totally mistaken, there is no Chennai version of chicken wings, Buffalo style or otherwise.

The use of spice is so !@#$ing fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
