Buffalo wings are so called after their city of origin, Buffalo New York. Locals in Buffalo, New York call them wings or chicken wings rather than Buffalo wings. The appellation Buffalo is also now popularly applied to other foods besides wings such as chicken finger, chicken nuggets, and popcorn chicken that are seasoned with the Buffalo style sauce or variations of it.

Buffalo wings get their name from their place of origin, Buffalo, New York, where the spicy morsels are called simply wings. The Anchor Bar is universally recognized as the birthplace of this most manly indulgence. The details of the legend vary, but the Anchor backs up this version: Late one Friday night in 1964, the owner’s son asked his mom to make his friends some bar snacks. She knocked around in the kitchen for a bit and emerged with two plates of chicken wings—she was making stock—that she’d deep-fried and doused in a hot sauce.

The term hamburger initially derives from the German City of Hamburg, Germany’s second largest city, from where many immigrated to America. Now hamburgers are usually a staple of fast food restaurants. Hamburgers served in major fast food restaurants are mass produced in factories and frozen for delivery to the site. These hamburgers are thin and of uniform thickness, varying from the conventional American hamburger prepared in homes and conventional restaurants, which is thicker and prepared by hand with ground beef.
