Gramps Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 If you get up to NF/Lewiston, the wings @ Buzzy's on Pine and Tin Pan Alley in Lewiston are damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I have friends who just "go out for wings" like you could possibly make a meal out of that. I can eat 30 wings in a sitting easy. I would have to eat dinner first. From the age of 18 until I moved out of NY at 25, my friends and I hit up wing night, every single Wednesday. 10¢ wings, $6 pitchers of blue. By age 23 the wings had made it to 25¢. Those were the days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get outta here. I was back home this past weekend. As soon as I got there I ordered a large pizza and 4.5 pounds of wings. Cost me $32. But then again, it was Friday night.

That Aud Smell Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 30 wings is a meal. 10 wings is a snack. If I'm eating 10 wings there better be an entree with that. Okay. Now we're at least back in the realm of reason. 30 wings is a big frickin' meal. I'm guessing 30 wings is more than 2500 calories. Maybe more than 3000. Sorry. I'm old. I mind my calories (or try to, anyway). 10 wings is a meal. For me. An indulgent one, at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Ps Put this in the Bills thread but Grevy's is closing in Northern VA. During the superbowl runs they had Charlie the Butcher with Beef on Weck and good wings with a goofy DJ. A group of friends used to hang out there every Sunday. Kevin Grevy was a Buffalo boy who made a name as a guard for KY and a shooting guard on the Bullets NBA championship with Moses Malone et al.

That Aud Smell Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Do you all have lap bands or something? 10 wings would just make me angry. Hardly - but sometimes I fear I'm getting there. I'm 5'9" (ish), mid-40s, and work a sedentary job. If I thought 10 wings was anything less than an indulgent meal, I'd be pushing 220. As it is, I'm working not to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cereal Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 All hail the great King D4rk, who can partaketh in more wings than us all!! :worthy: Actually I remember causing a stir on here when I bragged about eating 51 wings on my 22nd birthday (this was in 2008). That was an extreme act of gluttony though... :lol: Here's d4rk on the right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RCHKCPe_RI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An indulgent one, at that. 36 wings (unless they're mild, in which case the estimate is good) would be ~1,850 calories. Does not include the blue cheese nor rabbit food. Add another 80 cals / tablespoon of blue cheese. (Oooops, was basing "30" off 3 dozen in original post, not 3x10. So 30 wings would be ~1,530 calories. :doh:) Edited December 14, 2016 by Taro T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 A garbage plate is about 3500 calories and I used to eat those regularly in college, along with copious quantities of beer. I was definitely less healthy, but I never weighed over 210. 2000 calories worth of wings doesn't scare me much :lol: All hail the great King D4rk, who can partaketh in more wings than us all!! :worthy: Actually I remember causing a stir on here when I bragged about eating 51 wings on my 22nd birthday (this was in 2008).

I sincerely hope I've been blessed with my fathers genetics re: metabolism. I'm holding strong at 29, but... Oh, the lulz. I'm not sure I even knew what calories were at that age. Rock on! 30 wings (unless they're mild, in which case the estimate is good) would be ~1,850 calories. Does not include the blue cheese nor rabbit food. Add another 80 cals / tablespoon of blue cheese. Wait - so ~60 calories per wing? That's better than I thought. I figured it was more up toward 75+. Makes sense as well on the milder wings - more butter, yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Hmm Im 6'2" 205 too but 52 now and feeling every bit my age. If I play hockey twice that week I can still do 20-25 wings, but thats about it and it is harder to take it off. At 29 I could think about excercising and lose a couple pounds. No I have to to keep them off. Edited December 14, 2016 by North Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's better than I thought. I figured it was more up toward 75+. Makes sense as well on the milder wings - more butter, yeah? Yup. My homemade which are deep fried to a serious crispness (but not burned or over fried) w/ a good "Buffalo hot" rather than a "Buffalo Wild Wings hot" (like ANYTHING from Minnesota is EVER hot >_> ) tends to be a bit over 600 calories per dozen. Of course, if you go less crispy & don't drain 'em right (so the oil really hangs w/ the skin) & a mild sauce & you can easily be over 1,700 calories per dozen.

My father, at 63, is 6'-6" and according to him still weights under 200lbs. I don't know how he does it. Likely that he doesn't do it. More likely a product of how he came from the factory.

Taro T Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 b]Gah.[/b] Likely that he doesn't do it. More likely a product of how he came from the factory. So always order them hot & extra crispy & you'll be good to go. :) Even medium won't be too bad if it's a Buffalo medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabel79 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 You guys are killing me. I miss wings. I mean, good wings. I'll be making the colder of my semi-annual treks to the Great White North (Tonawanda. Not North Tonowanda, though) next week. Will have to hit Gabriel's Gate, or at the very least Duff's while in town. Literally the best we can hope for down here is BW3. Which, technically can be called wings. Anatomically speaking.
