The night Matt wore his jersey and made mischief of one kind and another his broski asked for mild wings and Matt said “I ATE THEM UP!” so he was sent to Edie’s to get more food. That very night in Matt’s car his stomach growled and growled and growled until his hungry self could take no more and the drive became unbearable and a pickup rumbled by nearly cutting off poor Matt as he drove off up Best and Knab and way up Clark past J.P.’s and almost over a roundabout to where the mild wings are. And when he came to the place where the mild wings are His stomach roared its terrible roar as he opened up the door and smelled a wonderfully saucy scent and licked his salivated lips ‘til the cashier said “HELLO!” and finished up his order of 12 dozen chicken wings without celery on one and he was amazed and called Matt the most wild thing of all and made him king of all mild wings. “And now,” yelled Matt, “let the wild ru...

Some major news out of Coca-Cola Field yesterday afternoon: It's #ElectionDay . So, help us fill out this ballot! We're taking submissions for @BisonsCelery 's replacement in 18! https://t.co/4s0zKW3YrU pic.twitter.com/8srGm50TZX — Buffalo Bisons (@BuffaloBisons) November 7, 2017 That's right. It turns out the Bisons' Wing-Cheese-Celery (WCC) Race will remain a four-character club. After Celery's retirement this past August, the team will let the people decide who will take its place alongside Bleu Cheese, Atomic Wing, and Chicken Wing. As passionate as people were about Celery, you've got to believe there will be some major divides as people play up their favorite replacement character. Several people have also astutely pointed out that a new character will force the race to find a new name, lest it become a misnomer. So... who should get the promotion? I've put together a list of the top 24 candidates, and ranked them from the least pr...

Apparently I'm oblivious when it comes to all news milk. Yesterday, I came across an article by  Food & Wine  way back in June.  Fox picked it up , as did the  New York Post , and added to the content. These articles contain some absolute fireballs. Just to mention a few: "A full 7 percent of American adults think chocolate milk comes from brown cows." "48 percent of US adults aren't sure where chocolate milk comes from." "29 percent use their kids as cover to buy it for themselves." As the wise prophet Kevin Malone once said: SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH. PEOPLE! COME ON! It's one thing to be a kid and think chocolate milk comes from brown cows. Kids aren't always clued in, and  Dr. Seuss might get them confused sometimes . So it's up to their parents and teachers to show them the way. But if those parents and teachers can't figure out that chocolate milk is literally          Chocolate +  ...

As a man of my word, I had to deliver what was promised. Coming Wednesday to birtmc dot com: DOES ANYONE IN SYRACUSE KNOW HOW TO MAKE A GOOD GARLIC PARM WING?!?! — Matt Birt (@BirtMC) September 22, 2017 This idea has actually been in my drafts folder for a couple weeks now, but I needed to have a recent example to discuss rather than weeks-old recollections. --- The lead up --- It all started in July. Me and some of my coworkers decided to take a long lunch and try a few wing places around town over the course of the coming weeks. We would each order a different flavor wing, distribute them amongst ourselves, and rate and compare them. I even made up a Google Sheet for the occasion and named it Band on the Run. Shame on you if you don’t understand why. Our first place was J. Ryan’s. On the whole, the wings were adequate, but here’s my description of the garlic parm wings: Where's the sauce? There was none. And the lack of sauce killed the possibil...
