BEST WING SAUCE: BUFFALO WILD WINGS
Buffalo Wild Wings has more than 30 varieties of wing sauces, including some new dry rubs, like salt and vinegar.
Wing Stop has the best french fries. There's something about the fresh-cut spuds fried softly and then seasoned with salt and a touch of sugar.
Buffalo Wild Wings has an awesome drink selection. There might be as many taps as there are wing sauces.

They're offered on menus across the nation in a variety of ways. Naked or breaded? Bone in or boneless? Spun in sauce or dashed with rub? And is it the thighs or wings that do it for you?
If I've got you thinking about anything other than chicken wings, allow let me to correct you - I am talking about chicken wings. And remember, they are chicken wings, Mrs. Simpson, because there no wings on buffalo.
Here in Victoria, they're available on area menus from the local watering holes to popular restaurants. I decided to focus on three eateries that spotlight chicken wings: Buffalo Wild Wings, Wing Street and Wingstop.
All three restaurants offer a variety of flavors, sides and drinks to make everyone's hankering happy.
All these different variables on the chicken wing beg the question, "How do you eat your wings?" I'll give you a few seconds to think about it. Each one of us has a wing thing. So what is yours?
Some wing eaters prefer to wash down their spicy, fresh-out-of-the-deep-fryer eats with ice-cold brews or drinks poured over rocks. Others prefer the bubbly, non-alcoholic sodas fresh from the restaurant's drink fountain.
A lesson from the wise: Milk may cool down a burning mouth, but it may not be the best remedy. Although it slips my mind who said it and in what show they said it in, spicy food is best combated with other fatty foods. Milk may soothe, but you have to drink a lot, and then all you've got is a belly full of milk and spicy buffalo wing bits.
One of the best routes to take when eating spicy buffalo wings is to eat a handful of greasy french fries, potato wedges or onion rings. These fatty foods will cling to the spicy molecules on your tongue and send them down to your gut. Also, a side of bread or tortilla chips can help, too, as they're more absorbent than liquids.
Better yet, don't order the spicy wing sauces. Stick to the ones you can handle, especially if you're not a Fire Breather. Barbecue is a popular alternative, and lemon pepper is on my list of favorites.
The next time you eat a chicken wing, put some thought into which eater you are. Me? I'm a mix between the One-Bite Master and the Dunker. But I'm a bone-in wing eater all the way. Boneless wings have got too much breading on them for my taste.
