The National Buffalo Wing Festival celebrates “Buffalo Wings”, which have become a national food icon. Invented in 1964 at the world famous Anchor Bar by Frank and Teresa Bellissimo, of Buffalo, NY is the official “Home of the Chicken Wing”. The popularity of the chicken wing has made it America’s #1 appetizer. Last year alone over 13.5 billion wings were consumed by Americans, 1.25 billion on Super Bowl Weekend alone.
In 2001, actor Bill Murray playing Frank Detorre starred in one of his notoriously eclectic movies entitled, “Osmosis Jones.” In this film Murray played the part of an average Joe addicted to fried food and other artery-clogging fares, who was heading to Buffalo New York for… of all things…..a chicken wing festival. Well, as we all know, at that time there WAS NO CHICKEN WING FESTIVAL in Buffalo, NY…..at least not yet.
Buffalo News columnist Donn Esmonde heard about the Murray movie, and wondered, “why isn’t there an annual National Wing Fest in Buffalo” Esmonde wrote a column suggesting that there should be such a festival, as a way of staking a claim to what is rightfully a Buffalo creation. I read that article and called Donn the very next day, agreeing with the columnist’s theory. Donn then wrote about my Wing Fest plan in a subsequent column, asking the community for its support. That was 20 years ago, since then over 1,000,000 wing fanatics have attended the festival from all over the world. Over 230 participating restaurants, have served approximately 5.1 million wings weiging more than 205 tons. Most importantly, over $405,000 has been donated back to the local community in charitable contributions. The Wingfest has drawn the attention of media throughout the world, including many appearances on CNN, The Travel Channel, The View and Regis and Kelly, NBC’S Today Show, and was also the subject for a PBS Documentary.
The festival also drew the attention of the Food Network as Food Icon Bobby Flay came to Buffalo for a chicken wing throwdown and Emeril Lagasse filmed the festival for a show on Buffalo Wings.
The National Buffalo Wing Festival has become one of the best culi-nary road trips in America. Last year we tracked visitors from all 50 states and 34 different countries. All for the love of the “Buffalo Wing”.
Thanks for joining us this Labor Day Weekend as we celebrate the 20th annual National Buffalo Wing Festival.
