Buffalo Soldier: Wing Off #2

Your very own Buffalo Soldier is a product of Buffalo, New York, the home of abandoned factories, national sports teams who seem to have a stranglehold on the “runner up” category, and perhaps most notably, the very place where Buffalo wings were invented: at the fabulously divey Anchor Bar.

Now of course, there will inevitably be some crackhead who says "What about MR. Wonton?!?!" Save it - Mr. Wonton is such a greasy shithole that if you're really that obsessed, just pretend we included it in the competition and it LOST.
