The Wing Ride: The Hidden History of Chicken Wings Food Tour

Overview
Earn your wings on this fresh Buffalo food tour with samples of Buffalo's tastiest chicken wings. On this incredible journey, we’ll dive deep into the history of Buffalo’s most famous and misunderstood dish and attempt to answer the question, “Who was the true inventor of the first Buffalo Wing?”.

The tour begins with a visit with Lina Brown Young, daughter Buffalo’s original King Of Wings, who shares personal photos, stories, and her dad’s long-lost mumbo wing recipe, which had been unavailable for 23 years.

We’ll continue with a stop at the Anchor Bar, where we’ll learn the wild story of how their wings were born by accident and sample their classic Buffalo Wing. The tour concludes with a visit to Tiny Thai, an up-and-coming food truck, where we’ll sample a legendary recipe that connects the past, present, and future of chicken wings.

Experience the tour that’s been featured by the Food Network, NY Times, and Vice Media, and learn how an American food icon came to be.

What a wonderfully curated experience! The food, the history, the route were all fantastic. This is the second ride we did with Buffalo Bike Tours and we're already talking about returning next year for our third! Highly recommended.

An amazing off-the-beaten-path experience! It will never be forgotten by me and my teenaged son. I highly recommend.

My family of four really enjoyed the Buffalo Wing Ride. We tasted several delicious buffalo wings, learned some history, and saw so much of Buffalo we never would have seen otherwise. Buffalo has great character and Mark is great ambassador for the city. The tour pace was very good. My kids are 10 and 12 and managed the 9ish miles just fine. Mark also gave us great recommendations for other places to visit in Buffalo.
