We sampled five wingeries stretching from Oakville to Buffalo, the birthplace of the chicken wing. Here are our stories.

5.0 star rating
  12/30/2009 First to Review

I'm trying to think of a good line to start this off without saying something I'm not trying to. My first stab at it was "If you're looking for a good time, talk to Sarah", so you can see where I'm coming from, here.

That said, Sarah did an awesome…More »

This was the final stop on our Epic International Chicken Wing Crawl of 2009. I was promised that we would learn a few things about how wings are meant to be served, and wasn't disappointed.

I'll start with my biggest negative - the wait was nigh on…More »

 3. Buffalo Wings & Pizza Company

St Catharines, ON L2M 7V3

Category: Chicken Wings

4.0 star rating
  12/30/2009

Stop #2 on our Epic International Chicken Wing Crawl of Win did not disappoint. Though Sarah wasn't talking these wings up as much as Anchor Bar's, we did walk in with some expectations, and they were satisfied, to be sure.

Decor-wise, there's not…More »

3.0 star rating

Turtle Jacks was the first stop on our Epic International Chicken Wing Crawl of Awesomeness, and a convenient bus ride away from home for me.

The wings themselves were pretty good - plenty of options for flavouring, as well as preparation (convection…More »

 5. Barrel Pizza Parlour & Spaghetti House

224 Garrison Rd
Fort Erie, ON L2A 1M7
(905) 871-1167
3.0 star rating
  12/30/2009

Barrel was our fourth stop on the International Chicken Wing Crawl. Not well liked by two of the participants, but I didn't have a huge issue with the wings - but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Inside, the atmosphere is awesome. It reminds me of my own…More »

As stop #2 on the Epic Chicken Wing Crawl, and the first of the set that Sarah only heard about in an (evidently) drunken haze... this one was a bit of an omen for the rest of that set (where "rest of that set" is "the other one").

The atmosphere…More »
