Alton Brown’s Latest: Air Fryer Wings, Episode 35
Not a post about a plate of wings this time — a post about someone else’s. Alton Brown’s YouTube series Alton Brown Cooks Food put out Episode 35, “Fry Some Air,” covering air fryer wings: a dry seasoning approach plus a buttery finishing sauce, worked out with his usual over-engineered precision. Watch it: Alton Brown…

SliceWorks, Berlin CT: Just Okay, Nice People
No photo — a spontaneous stop in Berlin, CT the day before this post, late morning. The pizza itself was just okay. The staff, though, were genuinely nice about it: no pre-made pepperoni slices ready to go, so they tried to fake one together on the spot — and didn’t quite get the pepperoni properly…

Colonial Inn, Concord MA: Good Wings, a Little Salty
A late lunch at the Colonial Inn in Concord, MA, Thursday, August 13th — the dark, low-ceilinged pub room, not the main dining room, and the kitchen was far enough away that the fryer was never actually audible. The wings were sauced just enough and plated well, though on the salty side. Lunch crowd skewed…

Backyard Wings, Finally Some Sun
Late July 2026, grass visible in the background instead of a kitchen table — the wings finally made it outside. Whatever the occasion, backyard-plus-blue-sky-plus-wings is close to an unbeatable combination, and this archive has been waiting a long time for one entry to actually happen outdoors. Recipe inspiration for your own backyard batch: RecipeTin Eats’…

Breakfast Pizza From a Gas Station, and It Ruled
Excellent breakfast pizza — scrambled eggs, bacon, a cheddar-mozzarella blend, cut into wide slices — and here’s the part that actually matters: it came from a Kwik Fill gas station in South Wales, NY. Not a pizzeria with a breakfast side hustle. An actual gas station, doing this well. Rural gas-station food service is genuinely…

Wing Night in Buffalo: Gabriel’s Gate in Allentown
Two plates of wings, one table, one very clear verdict on how to spend an afternoon in Buffalo’s Allentown District: at Gabriel’s Gate, tucked into one of the original Tift Row houses built back in 1864. The order came out as a split plate — classic hot on one side, a darker, glossier barbecue-style glaze…

An April Plate, No Notes
Late April 2026, a single plate, nothing especially notable except that at this point the pattern itself has become the story: a household that reliably, dependably, makes wings, season after season, without needing a reason. Recipe inspiration: Inspired Taste’s Crispy Baked Hot Wings.

Regina Pizzeria, Burlington Mall: Fine, But Wait for the Original
Apologies in advance for the photo on this one — food court lighting and a rushed shot did it no favors. Two pepperoni slices at the Regina Pizzeria in the Burlington Mall, early April 2026. Honest take: the mall location is fine, but it’s nowhere near the original in the North End. That’s not really…

Pasquale’s, East Aurora: The Original, Still the Best
No photo for this one — but it earns a post anyway. Pasquale’s in East Aurora, NY is where these wings started, before this whole archive existed: grew up on them, and they’re still probably the best wings ever had, full stop. Went back about six months ago and they held up exactly as remembered.…

Wings and Onion Rings, a Package Deal
February 2026, and this time the plate came with onion rings riding along — a fry-night expansion pack that, frankly, should happen more often. The rings look properly golden, which is its own small kitchen victory. Recipe inspiration for the wings half: Budget Bytes’ Buffalo Wings. The onion rings are a project for another post.
