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…

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’…

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.

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.

The Maynard Grocery Run
Five days before Christmas, a plain package of raw wings from the store, price sticker included — the second “before” shot in this archive, and proof that even in the thick of holiday chaos, someone made time for a grocery run dedicated entirely to wing supply chain logistics. Recipe inspiration for what almost certainly happened…

December, Pinehurst, Wings Again
Mid-December 2025 at Pinehurst Tavern, ranch on the side, no particular fanfare. At this point in the year the wing-to-holiday-cookie ratio in this household is deeply, perhaps concerningly, tilted in one direction — good thing this one didn’t require turning on the oven. Where This Was Pinehurst Tavern, 786 Boston Rd, Billerica, MA — Google…

Wendell’s Pub, Norton: At Least This One’s Confirmed
The placemat under this bowl of wings prints the entire address and phone number, no detective work needed: Wendell’s Pub, 30 West Main Street (Route 123), Norton, MA. An orange bowl, a proper pub setting, and a restaurant that wants you to be able to find it again — a refreshing change of pace from…
