The restaurant was initially established in1935 .The Anchor Bar's main claim to fame is that it is the birthplace of chicken wings, known outside the Buffalo area as
Buffalo wings . Teressa Bellissimo is credited with the creation of the dish when shedeep-fried some wings and covered them in a vinegar-based chili and tomato sauce (wings were previously used for soup or simply thrown away before this use came about). She served them with blue cheese dip ashors d'oeuvres at the bar which was frequented by servicemen newly inducted at the nearby Armed Forces Entrance and Examination station. They were initially offered for free. Frozen wings can now be ordered around the country from the Anchor Bar's web site.
