About Anchor Bar:

Anchor Bar is known as the birthplace of the original Buffalo chicken wing. In 1964, Teressa Bellissimo created the now-famous dish at the family's restaurant in Buffalo, New York, serving deep-fried chicken wings tossed in a signature sauce. What began as a late-night snack quickly became a culinary sensation, making Anchor Bar a destination for wing lovers around the world.
