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.

Absolutely loved the wing ride tour with Marc. We were passing through buffalo on our way to Ontario, and my boyfriend came across this wing tour online. Couldn’t pass this up, and it was worth it! Enjoyed some delicious wings, beautiful tour of the city, and history of Buffalo. Highly recommend taking this tour. Make sure to stop and get the Korean buffalo wings, i can’t stop thinking about them!

Everyone should do this tour!!! It's so fun and great food!!! We came to this not knowing what to expect, and Mark's tour totally exceeded our expectations! He is so knowledgeable about Buffalo and it's History, and just great company! This was something so different, and fun, and we will definitely highly recommend it to anyone we talk to about it! Good luck growing the business more, and keep playing your ukelele!!!
