Why Buffalo Chicken Rules

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Alright, this is just a quick shoutout to remember that Buffalo Chicken Calzones are the greateast food on earth and you need to be eating them more and more.

If you try and encrust this in macadamia nuts, I will kick you in the nuts.

Here is an excerpt from some jabroni that doesn’t know anything about food. They are reviewing the top 10 places in the USA to get either steak or seafood.  One of those places happens to be right here in Boston. lets check it out.

“We like to start by pairing traditional raw bar selections, such as ceviche three ways, with the sniffle-inducing spiciness of Thai-style lettuce wraps with hot chili sauce. Entrées are generous, and textures, colors and tastes are creatively intermingled on each plate. Dishes may include macadamia-encrusted swordfish, served with slightly chilled soba noodles and crispy spinach that dissolves in your mouth, or dry-aged New York strip sirloin with sweet soy, cilantro, ginger and red chilies, with matchstick potatoes.”

Wow, Really? You would honestly rather have that then a buffalo chicken calzone? Your settling into your couch on a nice crisp autumm sunday to watch some football and you would want to eat chilled soba noodles and crispy spinach? STOP IT.

Looks, maybe I take that new york stip sirloin and throw it in the calzone drenched in franks red hot, but if you put any sweet soy or thai lettuce wraps within a mile of me , I’ll probably throw up.  Plus, can you eat all that with your hands? Wheres the side cup of dipping sauce? Exactly, Now George may not technically be a 5 star chef, but in my book he can make me a calzone whenever he pleases.

Seriously, step up, what the hell is “ceviche”?

Tune in next week when we break down why a buffalo chicken calzone is the world’s greatest hangover food.

“crispy spinach that dissolves in your mouth” – Cotton Candy dissolves in my mouth too, but I stopped eating that years ago. Leave a comment if your with me, gimme a little A-Men!

Boloco : Buffalo Chicken Burrito

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

First things first, they refer to this item as a wrap on the menu.  I must classify it as a burrito because it has rice in it. Not to mention every other item they sell is a burrito.

What could be in this beatiful gift from the gods?

Anna’s Tacqueria makes the most outstanding burrito’s in the entire Boston area, however the drive takes about 40 minutes. When Boloco was put in town everyone thought, Sweet! Now I have a place to get my fix without the drive.

Quickly people realized that while Boloco would suffice it was nothing out of this world. We were expecting it to compete with the cities best burrito producer and naturally the expectations were too great. Boloco instead offers delicious wraps if you know what to look for and skip the traditional mexican style burrito.

How does this all relate to buffalo chicken?

The item that wasn’t overhyped turned out to be the best of them all. The buffalo chicken wrap at boloco infuses a very good buffalo flavor with delicious blue cheese, celery, rice and chicken. You can also get this item with steak but this website isn’t called buffalo steak calzone.com now is it? jk, I will often get steak every 3rd burrito.

For a “health hack” I often get the wheat tortilla and brown rice to go along with it. I immediatly cancel it out by asking for extra chicken and having three ladel scoops of buffalo sauce on it. They always look at me like are you sure you really want 3 scoops and I give them the nod and say do it, do it!

Overall, Boloco offers a variety of flavors which can deliver. While the traditional burrito is delicious for people who have never left the town, the world offers more. (Its like me saying anna’s is the best when I haven’t been to texas or LA to SD area in california.)

However, I feel the buffalo chicken burrito when made with love, care and adult supervision truly delivers one of the most unique buffalo chicken experiences out there!

Where ZFarls "Does Work"

Where ZFarls "Does Work"

I used to always order 2 but now I just get one large with extra meat. Paying for your own health insurance will do that to a man.

Boloco is also one of those new and hip companies where you can order online and track calories which is nice. I will pick up these bad boys for the office lunches and the menu is vast enough to please nearly everyone. They have good chips and salsa/guac if your into that as well. They will also do free promotions and I have even adopted aborted burrito orders a few times. They are friendly and do things right and business is like tennis, those who serve well win. I look to keep boloco as part of my diet in the future!

This was a free one and not "on steroids" as I usually order them. Still delicious!

Buffalo Product Power Rankings

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

After eating nearly every type of buffalo chicken product that I could get my mouth on for the last 10 years, I have decided to rank the ways to eat Buffalo Chicken Products. Below are the power rankings for all the buffalo products that I have encountered on my journey thus far, enjoy.

1. The Calzone

It was a monster

It was a monster

When done well,this item allows for maximum flavor and welcomes at least two types of cheese. The fill you receive from the deliciously toasted crust enables it to fill you up and is a great value. Despite the debate over styles and recipes, I think we can all agree Buffalo Calzones are the best buffalo variation ever.

2. Wings- The food that started my addiction to hot sauce remains dear to my heart. I feel that wings deliver the best true flavor although they don’t always fill me up. One area that I enjoy is being able to self medicate with blue cheese. This allows you to control the heat of the wings in question. So many flavors and spices but buffalo is the best of all.

3. Wrap- This item is responsible for allowing beginners into the field, however they can often be the most mediocre product and made by unqualified folk. Girls often enjoy these and I am all for them having buffalo, but if its not fresh and delicious than that is bull. Everyone is trying to capitalize on the market but not everyone has figured out the deliciousness yet.

4. Pizza- There is no universal recipe for this item yet, while most restaurants consider it gourmet, I hardly do. Where it doesn’t score points is in bringing true buffalo flavor out. It has solid chicken usually and allows for plenty of cheese which is where it gets its rank.

5. Tenders- More of a beginner item than the wing, tenders also suffer from many sucky incarnations. I admit that I enjoy the hell out of good tenders, but people try and pretend that the frozen ones don’t suck and that does a diservice to buffalo products everywhere.

6. Sub- When used with tender, this sub can deliver dynamic flavor and heat. Slather it up with enough blue cheese and this baby always seems to deliver. I fear mediocre variations, but my go to places always know how to serve it up just right. (Georges pizza, Natick and Linden store on fridays.)

7. Burrito-

While similar to a wrap, this white meat chicken item can deliver juicy flavoring and the fill that a wrap can’t. The rice is a make or break feature, but I feel that once you know what to expect than you can really start to enjoy a well made burrito.

8. Dip- This also has many variations which we will explore in future posts, It is a strong item and should always be present if men are sitting around drinking and speaking of heroic deeds.

9.Salad- I always order because I am in the mood for tenders, yeah it comes with some lettuce but I feel the layer of blue cheese does enough to cancel out the potential health benefits.

10. Cake? Would I? YUP

If there is something I missed or haven’t discovered yet or if you have a recommendation, let me know here. Thanks

*Also, I hope to cover all these items individually because I eat them in my rotation of foods. I need to take photos of them before I devour them.
