Buddy's Back
Read Buddy Hurlock's take on "Regular Guy Grub" every Tuesday in Second Helpings. This week, Buddy scarfs some buffalo wings - but no celery - at the Blue Rocks game:
Hot dogs are the normal fare at a baseball game. But at a recent Blue Rocks home game, I tried one of their new menu items for this season, an order of boneless buffalo bites.
They're not traditional wings, but nuggets, though not the flat-shaped nuggets you might be thinking of. From what I could observe, you get about six or seven bites per order, all white meat, with each of the bites equal in size. And, the bites are a nice size, comparable to a golf ball, which is a plus. There were no short-changed bites in my order.
How hot are they? Hot. Not blazing. But hot enough to make the order tough to finish without anything to drink. The order comes with a side of blue cheese dip, or maybe it's ranch. I never use either when eating wings, so I would not know the difference (I never use celery either. Interestingly, you do not get celery on the side with this. Maybe Mr. Celery gets offended).
The only downside is that, with no plastic fork offered, these can be a little messy. Grabbing a few extra napkins takes care of it.
Stadium vendor Centerplate offers a wide amount of choices at Blue Rocks games, including buffalo chicken sandwiches and buffalo burgers. If you are a fan of buffalo wings, I recommend giving the boneless buffalo bites ($5.50) a try during your next visit when you are craving something different.
By the way, I have to recommend my favorite buffalo bites, which would be Seasons Pizza's Seaso-Bites.
I also enjoy eating at Buffalo Wild Wings, which is building a new location near the intersection of Kirkwood Highway and Limestone Road (on the Stanton side, across from Commerce Bank).

Buddy, for your pizza piece, try Bella Vista in Pike Creek. Relatively new but fantastic pizza. Best crust I've had in 55 years of eating pizza. Service is great.
Have you tried Pietro's Pizza in the Shoppes of Linden Hill? Their pizza and their wings are the best. It's kind of hidden in the middle of the shopping center, but worth finding. It's a family affair that's been in business 30 years at a few different locations, now they're down to just the one. Vey good,friendly customer service.
