We are thrilled to introduce our new ANCHOR BUFFALO WINGS!! What is “Anchor Buffalo,” you ask? It’s the ORIGINAL BUFFALO WING SAUCE created by Teressa Bellissimo one serendipitous night in 1964 at Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, when her son Dominic wanted to feed his hungry friends who wandered in after closing time.

Everything had been put away for the night except for some chicken wings — which at the time were only used for soup stock — as well as some celery & blue cheese dressing. Teressa quickly whipped up a spicy sauce for the wings, and VOILA! A legend was born….a legend which inadvertently launched a global phenomenon.

At Lost Colony Tavern, we slowly bake our jumbo wings for juiciness and then finish them in the fryer for a crispy skin, then toss them in Teressa’s original sauce sent to us every week directly from Buffalo, along with chopped celery spears and chunky blue cheese dressing just like Teressa Bellissimo served them on that very first night in 1964.

Drop by and experience the authentic flavor of Buffalo’s ORIGINAL wing sauce the way it’s meant to be!!
