We kicked off Wing Week at The Wing Bar. Wogies, Buffalo Boss, and McFadden's followed, and now we're finishing things off back in Brooklyn at one of our favorite wings spots: Bonnie's Grill, aka New York City's gateway to Western New York.

If you're a Buffalo Bills fan, we're sorry, but at least you have McFadden's Saloon. McFadden's is a Bills bar, and every gameday during football season they run a $20 special that includes unlimited wings and beer. Needless to say, there's little room to wiggle. We had our first wings in great excess from McFadden's during the Bills vs. Packers game in 2006 (Bills won 24-10). The wings were good, and McFadden's has been on our radar ever since. On a recent rainy afternoon, with actual elbow room to eat them, we found them all the more enjoyable.

Jamar White and Ronald Lee are the owners of Buffalo Boss on Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn. Their store is a quick-serve wing joint proudly serving organic, hormone free wings that have become "The official wings of the Brooklyn Nets." Jay-Z is Jamar White's cousin, and the H to the Izzo has a (fistful of dollars) hand in the operation. White explains, "Jay-Z's involvement in the business is excellent. I'm his first cousin and we grew up together. He's like my older brother and so he supports me in everything that I do. When I told him about the wing concept, the location we had, and the vision for it, he's a good business man, so he was like, 'Let's do it.'"

We launched Wing Week yesterday out of our devotion to the Buffalo Wing. It was introduced in the '60s by way of Buffalo, New York, and credit usually goes to Teressa Bellissimo, who founded Buffalo's Anchor Bar with her husband Frank in 1935 (the restaurant's been at its current Main Street address since 1937). Regardless of whether or not you support the Bellissimo history, or favor Duff's over Anchor Bar, you're celebrating a region-specific food that is enjoyed far beyond its Western New York origin. Next up on Wing Week? Wogie's in the West Village.

The National Chicken Council (real thing) predicts Americans will eat more than 1.25 billion chicken wings this weekend. So, each day in the week leading up to the Super Bowl, we'll show you one of our favorite spots that does Buffalo Chicken Wings right. They aren't broiled or roasted. They're not grilled or smoked, and they're definitely never, ever breaded. Buffalo Wings are deep fried and tossed in a simple, vinegar-based hot sauce/butter combo. Some places go the extra mile and brine their wings and/or give them a a double fry, but at their root, Buffalo Wings are a simple food. We love the barbecue renditions found about town at the likes of Dinosaur BBQ (Wango Tango) and The Smoke Joint, but this week, we're sticking to the classics. There aren't any Duff's in New York City, but that doesn't mean there are no good wings. First up? The Wing Bar.
