July 29th National Chicken Wing Day!

Want to know more about the Black ood entrepreneur in Buffalo NY who created, sold and marketed the first batch of BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS ?… how he all but got erased from history as a white American food proprietor ran with the idea (may or may not have added the carrot and celery sticks + blue cheese) and ended up getting all the credit for the whole concept?

Since there’s much more to the story than that so you should Join my Patreon community for more inclusive intel: Take advantage of the myriad ways to interact with me directly (& meet some of my smart colleagues too) ask your burning (or icy cold ) q’s about your fave food (& drink) history & culture topics… Expand your mind AND your heart as you gain understanding, foster greater appreciation and gratitude for your own and “other” cultures and peoples who brought and continue to bring so much to this vast American table. ‘

Not knowing’ (as many ‘powers that be’ prefer) only contributes to the widening divide among us. Choose inclusive intel over ignorance, and be an ambassador for what you believe in…I look forward to continuing the convo with you there!
