The type of chicken wings known as "Buffalo wings" were created in Buffalo, New York, in 1964 in a restaurant called Frank and Theresa's Anchor Bar, at the corner of Main and North Streets.

Frank and Theresa's son and some friends came in late one night looking for something to eat (although some have suggested that it was for a band that was playing in the bar that night.) All that was left in the kitchen was chicken wings, which Theresa fried up, placed in hot sauce and served to the hungry young men. The wings were a hit and a legendary food was born.

Another version of the story is that the restaurant ran out of food -- and friends of the bartender brought in a batch of chicken wings, which they fried and to which added hot sauce.

Either way, the rest is history.

A buffalo chopper is also known as a food cutter.
