Yuck. Tiny skinny little wings. They must be killing baby chickens.

But the flavors are excellent!

I had "hot" and "blazin'" and both were pretty good. But I think they need to kill adult chickens.

My Wild Wings rants:

1) Who decided this is the default dinner location for college aged dudes before a night out at the bars? The food is TERRIBLE, there are never any laydeez, the drinks are expensive, it's loud, it's crowded and unless there is a specific game I want to watch, I don't need 8 billion tv's all over the place f'ing with my ADD (although the urinal tv's are a great touch).

2) What d-bag frat moron decided to start calling it BW 3's? Is this just an Illinois phenomenon? All of the people I know who actually somehow think it is a good restaurant (which is waaaay more people than you'd expect) all refer to it as BW 3's. Why? There are only two w's.

No, I think it's everywhere. I'd never heard it until I got to school out here in North Carolina. Someone said "do you want to go get wings at BW3s?" I said sure, thinking it was some great local wings place. NOT SO! It was Buffalo Wild Wings.

Here's what Wikipedia has to say on the BW3 situation:

wikipedia wrote:Originally called Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck, from which the abbreviation BW3 was created, the restaurant became a franchise with more than 430 locations across 37 U.S. states. The original name and acronym, BW3, was intentionally reminiscent of the acronym TW3 popularly used in referring to the television show That Was The Week That Was, a show of which co-founder James Disbrow was a fan. The company later changed its name to Buffalo Wild Wings, but still uses the short name BW3 on occasion due to the common usage by patrons.

I guarantee that 99% of people that call Buffalo Wild Wings "BW3" have no idea why. Heck, they probably never stopped to think that there are only two "w"s in the name.

They used to be BW3's . the 3rd W was for "Weck", which i think was a home-made bread they made or something. They got tired of explaining it so they changed their name. I'm not even making this up

Like the man said, weck is some kind of roll that you use for sandwiches in western New York. It's like a kaiser roll, but it's called weck. Nobody anywhere else uses weck. Since this is "Buffalo" Wild Wings, they wanted the authentic western New York fare, which included weck. When they realized that weck is a stupid product to carry, and nobody knows what it is, that maybe they shouldn't use it as their main draw. They dropped it from the name, but BW2s" just didn't roll off the tongue the same way, and decided to keep calling it BW3s.

Seriously, the next time someone calls it "BW3s" ask them why. Better yet, bet them they can't tell you why. That's what I like to call "easy money."

Love the Caribbean Jerk sauce but hate the beer selection. I kind of miss and not miss going there (none around where I now live) at the same time.

Buffa Wo Wild Wings

They suck and I am ready to fight for the baby chickens. I can't believe I spent $12 on 12 tiny wimp limp wings.
