BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Thousands of chicken wing lovers flocked to the annual National Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival in western New York Saturday to experience the latest and greatest in wings — including a meatless alternative offered for the first time in the festival's 12-year history.
Among the 32 vendors hawking their version of the bar food staple at Coca-Cola Field in downtown Buffalo was chef and local TV personality Steven Binks, who served up hummus dip and breaded green beans coated with the right mix of Frank's Original RedHot and gorgonzola cheese.
"It gives it that chicken-y wing-type feel," Binks told The Buffalo news (http://bit.ly/149KPto).
