Elmo's Bar rises to the top

Unsatisfied by Anchor Bar's wings, we headed to Elmo's Bar the morning we left Buffalo.

A local favorite, the bar was at half-capacity at 11:30. A few parties were already into their second pitcher. By  the time we left at 12:15 it was nearly full of regulars pounding down beer and ordering up wings. The wings were fresh, crispy, and bathed in a well-balanced hot sauce. A sauce that went down smoothly, even at 11am.
