Best Wings and as far from Buffalo as you can get

Ya'll know Buffalo Wings were invented by a lady in Buffalo NY. Thus the name. I'd had the benefit of being in that area some 20 years ago and I can tell you most people away from that area have no idea what true original Buffalo Wings taste like. There are a number knockoffs, KFC, Pizza Hut etc. But nothing beats the original.

So here I was at the Hyderabad airport tired, and facing a 2.5hr wait for a 3.5hr flight back to Bangkok. Then I spot Hard Rock Bar. I stopped in thinking I'd get something to eat. Then I remembered I was still on a diet and would have a meal on the plane, but I was starving. The menu was typical Hard Rock fare. So I tried the Buffalo Wings. My arteries had had enough healthy food for the past three months.

Trust me, they were as close to what I remember the original in NY State. I don't usually take pictures of 1/2 eaten food, but this plate deserved to be in my blog.

During the meal the Chef stopped by and asked how I liked the wings. I told him it was the best I've eaten since I was in upstate NY some 20+ years ago. He asked if there was anything else that could make it 'more authentic'. He added 'I try to match the original recipe'. The only thing I could think of was rather than carrot sticks serve celery and the blue cheese needs to be chunky. That explains why there are two bowls of blue cheese dressing in the pic. He brought me more and it was perfect.

So if ever find yourself at the Hyderabad Airport and are hungry, stop by the Hard Rock Bar - located at the end of the terminal. Say "Hi" to the chef - or "Namaste" if you feel inclined to speak Hindu. That's him in the pic to the right.
