BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – When you think “Buffalo”, you think “chicken wings”.
The story goes that Buffalo wings (deep-fried chicken wings in a spicy sauce) were invented here(Anchor Bar) in 1964, although the restaurant has since changed ownership. Take home some of the secret-recipe sauce
But you might not know about the Queen City’s original “King of Wings”- Buffalo restauranteur John Young, who owned several restaurants in the city in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s.
The late Young’s daughter, Lina Brown Young, worked at and managed some of his restaurants in Buffalo and Illinois.
Young’s “Wings N’ Things” opened in 1961, predating the Anchor Bar’s creation of the Buffalo-style wing.
His famous “Mumbo wings” were whole wing: battered, fried, and tossed with a sweet, tangy Mumbo sauce. Mumbo sauce is a tomato-based sauce that gets its tanginess from fruits, Brown Young added.
These cacs at the anchor bar took John idea and just made a different sauce. Yo I'm from Buffalo and I never even heard of Mumbo Wings
Do white people really invent anything god damn they always stealing some shyt.
