Buffalo Wings

I am a self proclaimed Buffalo Wing fanatic.  After spending 5 years of my life in western New York during the period that the Anchor Bar had invented these delicious morsels, it has been nearly impossible to ignore them.

Oh sure, I like them with barbecue sauce, Thai seasoning, grilled,  garlic, baked and all the other flavors that have become standard and even many exotic new creations.  But the way I judge a Buffalo Wing, is with the classic sauce and to me that means SPICY HOT! 

There is a local place here in New Jersey that makes my favorite in the area.  They use a very light breading that is spiced all by itself and the wings even without the standard Buffalo sauce are tasty and crispy and bit spicy.  Then they make a great thick hot sauce and either toss them or serve it on the side.  They are incredible and have become my weekly Friday night dinner.

Last night however, I think I found a new favorite.  They are the Buffalo wings created by the new chef, Eduardo at Rhythms of the Night.  Rhythms is a great club for music and has always had great food.  But, their Buffalo wings were not my favorite.  That all changed last night.  The wings are plump and juicy and the sauce is spirited and peppery, but not at all burning.  Eduardo also offers them with a milder sauce for those timid folks.
