Buffalo Wings & Ribs

Buffalo, New York natives Al and Mary Baldassari moved to Ft. Wayne, Indiana in 1966, a few years after the first Buffalo wings were served at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo. Buffalo Wings became very popular in the Eastern U. S. in the next 20 years, but were unknown in the Midwest. The Baldassaris decided to try to bring the regional favorite to their home of Ft Wayne in 1987, and opened up the first Buffalo Wings and Curls in Ft Wayne. A second location followed in 1990. A few years later delicious baby back ribs were added to the menu, and the name was changed to Buffalo Wings & Ribs.
