A few decades ago chicken wings were essentially a throw away. This year Americans will eat 1.25 billion chicken wings… for the Super Bowl. The prices are actually down significantly from last year, but the longterm trend is up and to the right. Chicken wing popularity really seemed to take off when the Buffalo Bills went to four straight Super Bowls and shined a spotlight on the city’s culinary speciality. It continued with the growth of a national restaurant chain centered around the wing. Buffalo Wild Wings was actually founded in 1982 (by a guy who moved away from Buffalo, NY and couldn’t find buffalo wings), but it took a while for the Minneapolis, MN based company to go public and grow to 925 locations. In fact, the company’s growth seems to mirror the growth in popularity of the buffalo wing.

Wing It

I usually try to avoid chain restaurants, but I’ve been to a few Buffalo Wild Wings, and they’re pretty decent. Whether you like your wings with bones or boneless, you can get them in just about any type of sauce at Buffalo Wild Wings. You can also drink beer and watch sports. That’s about all there is to say–even Buffalo Wild Wings’ About page is quite brief. If you love chicken wings as much as I do, take a look at Buffalo Wild Wings’ Careers page. There aren’t any entry level opportunities right now at their Home Office (there are obviously plenty of positions at their restaurants), but there is a Staff Accountant position that only requires a couple years of experience. There are also a bunch of internships available.
