As someone from Atlanta where we eat a LOT of wings I take exception to the idea that only folks in Buffalo know how to cook them. As another video notes John Young himself migrated north with his family from Alabama and brought those soul food traditions of the south up north to y’all. I hope this style can be brought back and popularized enough to warrant a restaurant or at least a permanent stall in the market to serve them.
Mr Young's business license for his restaurant wasn't signed until 1968. 3 years after the anchor bars claimed to making buffalo wings. Also a week consider buffalo wings today came from the anchor bar deep fried no breading where the cayenne pepper sauce that wasn't sweet. Wings & things didn't separate their chicken wings and they were breaded before they were deep fried . Also the sweet sauce wouldn't be what we recognized as buffalo sauce today. But the sauce from the anchor bar is exactly what we think of when we think of buffalo wings today. So instead of one person taking clam maybe we can call it convergent evolution.
EXACTLY..A black man named John Young had long lines on Jefferson Avenue in the late 50s early 60s of HOT SAUCE chicken wings..Not the Italians of the Anchor Bar..He often disputed this until he passed away..
Everyone wants to keep saying is a black man that invented then wings. While I do agree as a fried wing I believe the Buffalo hot sauce wing was started at anchor bar from having friends from Buffalo and their entire family history is from there. I will say this if a black man really fried the first wing along with the black man creating BBQ. THANK YOU!!!
Evolution invented them. Buffalo perfected them. Btw, "a losing football team"? HOW DARE YOU SIR. We're doing just fine this year, thank you very much.
Oh that makes more sense. Paul is John’s brother and also a restauranteur and also served wings! So I wasn’t sure. Rest assured everything I’ve heard is that John was the first of the Young brothers to serve wings in Buffalo. Btw if you’re curious, stop by Jefferson and Utica and see the new mural we commissioned in honor of John Young!
JOHN YOUNG.
Yes. most definitely. John Young.
He made fried chicken with a BBQ sauce. Nothing like the wings that the Anchor bar sold.
I’m glad someone else had this question, and made a video. Had no idea they were that new or so close to home!

You can take exception all you want, they arent called Decator wings. I've traveled the country a few times, and ATL ain't it.
@@singingchef23 wtf is Decator?
Worldwide the saying is true: From buffalo wings, to the refrigerator, to open heart surgery, the more you dig into history more Black it gets.

In the 80’s the increase in chicken wing consumption directly correlated with Buffalonians ever increasing waistlines!
Me & my wife been to the Ancorbar for about 5 yeats.
50 years ago my mom was getting free from local Bucher and making soup and baked and fried them so I think someone in some house did
This is how they keep taking credit for black inventions

Oh shut up. Sick of oppression
Bullshit.
Someone else is credited for his sauce also sadly
John Young gets all the credit, Anchor Bar is a lie..! Thanks.

they see the green grass .. "it was not god who invented that i don't care who you ask that's a myth! " lmfao you can't just go around tagging shit
They rushed and got a patent years later but we know the truth
Hell no Paul young invented this
Ha, I haven’t heard that one before. Did you frequent Stop & Kop? Would love any photos or memories you may have
@@buffalobiketours575 my mother worked there and I met him they never wanted to give him the credit
