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.

The buffalo wing ride was an absolute blast. It turned out to be our favorite thing we did during our weekend in Buffalo. The ride has something for everybody, music, history, an active biking experience and great food of course. Be prepared to experience food and wings that you would NEVER have been able to find on your own. All at a great price! We will be booking a tour with them again when we return to Buffalo!

It was great to ride around in the bike in places only a local would know and get information from a person that has grown up there. He also sang for us! Highly recommend it if you’re visiting Buffalo

Thanks so much – I definitely try to show some of the off the beaten paths places – and am happy to share some of Buffalo's secrets :) And "sang" is generous, still working on some of the songs! Catch you next time!
