A look back: B-dubs
Ah, Buffalo Wild Wings, inexplicably shortened to BW3's and affectionally called B-Dubs by those 'in the know.' Land of the happy hour that lasts from noon to nine. Land of the wings that can make you cry if you're man enough to order them - an interesting irony to be sure. But most importantly, it is the land of 'the game.'
Our memories of BW3's are less from the food than from the entertainment. While it is true that buffalo wings are delicious, the wings always stand a distant second to what's on the TV screens. At most times, we are focused on one of the various trivia games that are up and running. If you're entering BW3's for the first time, grab one of the little computers that look like a speak-n-spell and begin the march up the Player's Plus ladder to become one of the elite.
Unfortunately, at most times these trivia games do not test your knowledge of trivia. Science, history, geography or literature - the category does not matter. These games are a test of your ability to successfully guess at questions on which you have perhaps a vague idea of what they are talking about. Despite this, at one point Bryan cheated by changing Mario's answer at the last second to knock him out of the lead. Mario still hasn't forgiven him, I'm sure. We take it very seriously. The winners are lauded for their cunning and ability. The losers are chided for their stupidity. At BW3's, the trivia game ranks your worth as a human being.
The other facet of BW3's numerous TVs are the many sporting events that we have watched there over the years. However, after watching us lose in Basketball and in the Sugar Bowl in the last year, I have come to the conclusion that B-dubs is a cursed place that only brings shame on the Hokie nation. So unless an exorcism is performed, I cannot reccommend watching Hokie sporting events there.
Come for the wings, stay for the trivia, leave at halftime in anger during sporting events. Good old BW3's.
The tour's recommended BW3's meals
Justin
Wings, Legs, Boneless Wings (Mild and Hot - if you're man enough to cry in front of your friends that is)
Chicken Wrapper (Comes with your choice of wing sauce as well as chips and salsa)
Cheese Fries (Because chicken is too damn healthy)
Beer (23 ounces are 75 cents off at Happy Hour)
Gavin
Boneless Wings w/ Teriyaki/Spicy Garlic sauce (best way to describe them are chicken nuggets on crack and twice as addictive)
Cheese Fries (every time I visit this place, my cholesterol and IQ swap a point)
Woodchuck on tap (so how much wood could a woodchuck chuck? go to hell)
Mario (Low Carb)
Legs - they're just half a dollar on Wednesdays and you can easily fit 10-12 in you.
A warm glass of...- CHILL THE FUCK OUT.
Russ
Boneless Wings - Medium, Hot, Sweet BBQ, Hot BBQ
50 Cent Legs - Medium, Sweet BBQ. Get extras and take them home, they are cheap.
Newcastle Brown Ale - On tap and delicious.
