Nelson,

I am wondering why you don’t use links in your blog. Granted, I could copy-and-paste the Buffalo Eats site, but one click is much easier.

Rochestergirl,

I actually have nothing against Rochester. I just like to start fights…controversy is a good thing.

I do remember Rochester natives talking about breaded, or rather, battered wings with Boss Sauce on ‘em. I think that Rochester, like Buffalo, has become more ubiquitous (there’s that word again, meaning in this case, “predictably uniform”) in their wing presentations… it seems like everyone does them like the basic Anchor Bar recipe these days. I was actually praising Charlie’s for doing something different – and having it actually turn out delicious!

Decent post, but Rochester is, in fact, pretty near the platonic ideal of awesome and you would be hard pressed to find breaded wings within Monroe County.

Just saying.

Thanks for the great review of my most favorite place in all the world. I was also going to add that Brian is the chef at Charlie’s but i see that Jess has already taken care of that.

I hate to leave the first comment but… I want to make clear that this joint (Charlie O’Brien’s) seriously rocks!

Also, I want everyone to know that Charlie’s has regular Buffalo style hot wings too – for which they are basically famous! I chose to focus more on their uniquely styled wing versions/ styles/ versions/ styles …because they are, well, unique…and very, very good!

And lastly, please know that my excessive blathering, poor writing, and embarrassingly bad humor sadly takes precedence over accuracy, clarity, and all other matters of good taste and journalistic excellence.

to beneficent insomnia,
the Host
