Buffalo Wild Wings vs Wingstop | Winging It | 1

In the early 1980s, ambitious brothers opened a restaurant in Columbus, Ohio to bring Buffalo wings to the masses, laying the foundation for Buffalo Wild Wings. A decade later, a couple in Texas launched Wingstop, a concept that would take a different approach: concentrating almost entirely on the wing itself, rather than the full dining experience. This episode traces the origins of these two chains and sets up their long-running battle to become America's King of Wings.
