Two of the 101 most iconic restaurant dishes in America come from upstate New York, or as we know it, central and western New York. Rochester and Buffalo are home to the honor from the Daily Meal.
It probably comes as no surprise, especially to those living in western New York, Buffalo Wings made the list. The Anchor Bar is said to have created the phenomenon in 1964 when Teressa Bellissimo deep fried chicken wings and covered them in secret sauce for hungry diners. They were an instant hit and Buffalo Wings have been on the menu ever since. Although many have tried to duplicate Buffalo Wings, the closely guarded secret recipe is what makes the Anchor Bar have the Best Wings in the World.
