Anchor Bar, Buffalo NY

Having crossed into the USA the first stop on my road trip will be the Anchor Bar on Buffalo's Main Street, where the restaurant's matriarch Theresa Bellissimo "invented" chicken wings back in 1964. The problem is that I'm planning to take a nostalgia trip on the two-lane roads, as we might have done in 1961, before there were Interstate highways. And while the Anchor Bar would have been in existence for 26 years it will be another three years before Theresa will invent those wings. (And another ten years before she could serve me a beer, given that I would have been eleven in 1961). So I cheat. The wings were amazing... as was the Yuengling lager.
