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.

This was such an awesome tour! Biking the city was so relaxing and eating at fun hole in the wall wing places was delicious! We met fun locals and our guide was very educated and we learned a lot!

Great ride and a chance to learn some history about Buffalo and one of the country’s most original pub foods, Buffalo wings. Marc is very knowledgeable and accommodating. We will definitely look into their other tour offerings.

My husband and I loved the wing ride. We got to see most of the city and experienced some of the history of the Buffalo wings! Mark was a great tour guide and knew all the best spots to enjoy. If you love bikes and you love wings, this is the tour for you!!

Awesome – I am SO GLAD this tour is off to such great reviews. The popularization of the chicken wing is crazy – and I can't believe we're the only tour company celebrating our most famous culinary invention. Hope to see you again on another ride!
