Buffalo Wild Wings has a sauce for every palate
HUNTINGTON -- Buffalo Wild Wings is an unlikely story -- a sports bar that managed to grow into a nationwide chain. The idea to open a restaurant came after two friends, Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery, drove from Buffalo, N.Y., to Kent, Ohio, to judge a figure skating competition. After a busy day, the two had a craving for some wings, but they couldn't find any at the local pubs.
