Today's Buffalo story
Delicious Duff's Wings, originally uploaded by bhaggs.
Now that I've managed to maintain an almost semi-regular pace on this here Commentary, I realized it's been awhile since I've posted a story about Buffalo.
Luckily the President of the United States has given me an opportunity. See, he's in the Queen City today to talk about the economy - not that it matters, really, because the economy always sort of sucks in Buffalo. Before he went to meet some regular folks, the President did what any sort of dignitary who comes to Buffalo does: he snacked on some chicken wings.
President Obama discovered more than hot wings during an unannounced stop at Duff's in Depew this afternoon.
He also found Louann Haley of Chaffee.
"You're a hottie with a smokin' little body," Haley told the president.
Obama's response?
He hugged her.
Before entering Duff's, Obama was asked what he would eat and answered, "Wings — it's the wings capital."
Now, chicken wing enthusiasts know that Duff's is one of two places often mentioned as having the best wings in Western New York. The other is the Anchor Bar, ancestral home of the chicken wing. I'm partial to the Anchor Bar myself, but Duff's isn't too shabby either. Now if we can just get him to try a beef on weck.
However, there is probably something for people to quarrel about. The President ordered medium wings. Doh! Is this indicative of Obama's wussiness? Is that why he wants to appease Iran? Or does he simply not want to sweat when he eats? I know half the country will say it's because he's a sally. George W. Bush would've gotten the hot wings - but he also probably would have choked on the bone. Snap!
