On our way back from the Serpent Mound, we began discussing dinner options. I thought it would be fun to take a walk down memory lane and sought out BW-3's which was a hop, skip, and jump from my college dorm (and we all felt like hopping, skipping, and jumping there on Tuesday 10 cent wing night!). My Google results kept showing up Buffalo Wild Wings though--slightly down the street from the original location. From there I had the dawning realization that the restaurant I have been to in Peabody, MA is an offshoot of our little Tuesday night hole in the wall. I was so sad! Then I was happy that the owners were so successful. Then I was sad again. Because the Buffalo Wild Wing chain is nothing, NOTHING compared to the awesome little place it was with the yummiest wings to which I compare all others. And all you OSU friends...Why has no one let me in on this?? This is almost tragic. I would prefer to have learned they had gone out of business.
Anyway, we dined there. I ordered 10 medium with chips ( they had cheese. Really?). The sauce tasted the same--tasty. However, the wings were fair and the atmosphere was like any other of their restaurants. Obnoxious with all the screens and too loud. When I asked for memorabilia there was only one young server who could point it out to me: the buffalo head, the outside sign, and a sign I could barely remember which I think hung inside. Sigh.
And double sigh...across the street right next to good ol' Taylor Tower are these humongous new dorms. I can hardly believe there was space for them there. Tomorrow we visit campus. I am afraid I may be doing a lot of sighing.
Although UDF is still across the street and you can still buy laffy taffy there!
