Buffalo Wild Wings

So . . . you're a senior in high school thinking about coming to EMU. Perhaps you're wondering what Harrisonburg is like and what could possibly be in this area that will keep you busy for the next 4 years (or 5 or 6 years if you're especially lucky). I give you three words: Buffalo Wild Wings.

Ahh, the joys of food in college. You are bound, at some point or another, to get tired of the traditional school menu (no matter where you go to college), and that is why God created buffalo wings. But wings aren't just any food; they are, in fact, their own food group. You could have your own college meal plan exclusively based around Buffalo Wild Wings (or B-Dubb's for short). During my freshman and senior years my friends and I went once a week (and sometimes twice) and gorged ourselves on an endless supply of spicy goodness.

But B-Dubb's is not for the faint of heart, my prospective friends. You must come prepared for an intense spicy lineup. The variety ranges from the sweet and the mild to the increasingly dangerous chemical concoctions like the " blazin' " sauce. If you can eat 6 of these puppies in a row without squirming then you will have won my respect. But I warn you: you may need to bring your own jug of milk to quench the burn.

If you were once a vegetarian or vegan, then I urge you especially to change your sinful ways and find out what it's like to eat 24 or more wings in one sitting. College is all about discovery, and Buffalo Wild Wings is one of the best discoveries you can make in Harrisonburg. Come with a group of friends or bring a date (and embarrass yourself with licking the sauce of your face/fingers). Watch the Red Sox beat the Yankees over and over again, or show up for super-bowl weekend. Tuesday nights are the best: only 30 cents per wing, which adds a whole new meaning to the proverb, "the more the merrier."
