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…

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.…

The Most Recent Entry, Sudbury, April 2025
The newest pizza in this whole 15-year archive — April 2025, Sudbury, Massachusetts, photographed close-up on a wire rack in a style that would look right at home next to any of this blog’s more recent wing posts. Full circle: the same photography habits that built the wing archive apparently started with pizza, over a…

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…
