Buffalo Wild Wings

A Buffalo Wild Wings has recently opened on Staten Island and as with any new restaurant, the place is packed around dinner time. Especially now, with March Madness underway, the restaurant is sure to be overwhelmed by the average sports fan looking to enjoy the game on a big screen tv with some beer and wings. 

Over spring break, I had my first experience at this establishment and I was shocked by the number of sauces offered for their chicken wings. Being that we had done some work on the chicken wing in class, I was tempted to research the origins of the chain upon my return home. 

Here is what I found: 
Buffalo Wild Wings in 1982 was founded by 2 men, originally from Buffalo, after being unable to find a place to enjoy their beloved buffalo chicken wings... in Ohio. I was initially shocked by this finding, mostly because I thought the company had originated in Buffalo but also because the chicken wing had been created in 1964 and I assumed that 18 years would be more than enough time for the craze to reach Ohio. Clearly, I was mistaken. 

In the long run, I am not sure how this particular Buffalo Wild Wings will sustain is current popularity. This island is a place certainly not devoid of bars and grills, both chain and family owned, and there are plenty of places to get homemade buffalo wings. I have a hunch that these wings may not even be fresh, but just pre made and then heated when ordered. I'm very interested in finding out the truth. Does anyone know for sure?
