November Wings, As Is Tradition
Another November, another plate, another entry in what is by now an undeniable seasonal pattern. Some households have a Thanksgiving pie tradition. This household has whatever this is. Recipe inspiration: Budget Bytes’ Buffalo Wings.

A Pinehurst Wednesday
Wings on a wood table with a side of celery — a Wednesday stop at Pinehurst Tavern in Billerica, October 2025. Reliable, unfussy, the kind of place that becomes a routine without anyone quite deciding it should. Where This Was Pinehurst Tavern, 786 Boston Rd, Billerica, MA — Google reviews. If you’re in the Pinehurst…

Horseshoe Pub, Hudson: A Sure Thing
Finally, a table tent that just tells you where you are: Horseshoe Pub & Restaurant, 29 South Street, Hudson, MA. No detective work required, no GPS triangulation, just a card standing right there doing its job. A hot sauce bottle on the table suggests the kitchen’s default heat wasn’t cutting it, which I respect as…

Buffalo Wild Wings, Burlington: The Chain Does Its Job
Both flavor tags are visible on this one — “WILD” and “HOT” — and this time there’s an actual Buffalo Wild Wings a short drive away, at 15 South Avenue in Burlington, right in the Burlington Mall retail corridor. Sometimes the mystery is unsolvable and sometimes it’s a chain restaurant fifteen minutes from a mall.…

Buffalo Wild Wings, Delivered All the Way to Lexington
The little red circular tag on this wrap reads “WILD” — that’s a Buffalo Wild Wings house sauce name, not a description of my behavior that evening. There’s no BWW location actually in Lexington, so this was almost certainly delivery from the Burlington or Woburn outpost, which is either impressive commitment or a sign I…

The Burst-Mode Incident
Three nearly identical photos, taken seconds apart, at the same desk, of the same plate of wings. I can only assume the phone’s burst mode got triggered by accident, or I was testing a new angle and forgot to stop. Either way, posterity now has this batch documented from three barely-different perspectives, which feels like…

New Year, Same Wings
Twelve days into 2025, and whatever resolutions may have been floated at midnight clearly didn’t touch the wing habit. A plate, a fork (a fork! rare for this archive), some carrots for the health-conscious veneer of it all. Recipe inspiration: Budget Bytes’ Buffalo Wings.

Three Angles of the Same Plate, Because I Was Proud of It
November 2024, and this batch got the full photoshoot treatment — three separate angles of the same plate of deep-orange, well-charred wings, because apparently I nailed the color on this one and wanted proof from multiple angles. No notes. This is what confidence looks like. Recipe inspiration for chasing that same color: RecipeTin Eats’ Truly…

An October Batch, Nothing Fancy
Two photos, one plate, late October 2024 — a straightforward batch with no particular story attached, which after this many entries has become its own kind of tradition. Sometimes the wings don’t need an occasion. They are the occasion. Recipe inspiration: Inspired Taste’s Crispy Baked Hot Wings.

Albany, NY: Wings in the Dark (Literally, Bad Lighting)
A dark bar, a white plate, wings with ranch, carrots and celery doing their part. The lighting situation in this photo suggests either a very moody restaurant or a photographer (me) who had already had a beer. No signage visible either way, so we’ll never know which. If you’re in the area anyway: check the…
