What exactly is a Buffalo Chicken?

As a writer and a frequenter of American culture I hear that quite often. So as someone who hears it, I wonder, 'What exactly is a Buffalo Chicken?' Ever notice that we eat it without too much of a fuss? How exactly does one engineer a Buffalo and a Chicken together? Well to be honest, I'm sure you've never wondered about it. (I'm just kidding! I know what Buffalo Chicken is! Simply delicious and spicy!)

And now that I wrote my lame attempt at April Fool's Day comedy, I'll get to the sandwich review. This sandwich, our Buffalo Chicken Club, is served on a Croissant! Cut in half and stuffed with Boarshead Buffalo Chicken, Cheddar, Blue Cheese and Bacon sauce and more Bacon! The first bite was crunchy from the Bacon but soft and buttery because of the of the Croissant, but still SPICY because of the chicken! A very interesting contrast in flavor and textures to be sure. Now I just want ti to be known that I *LOVE* spicy food. There's something about spicy food that just feels right. That's really the only way I can think to describe it. Now that I have that out of the way, I can actually get on with the rest of the small review I have for you today.

The Cheddar influenced the flavor ever so slightly in that way that is complimentary to the flavor without overbearing cheese flavor that some people dislike. While eating the sandwich I kept wondering why I wasn't getting that familiar burn that is so indicative of Spicy Buffalo Wings, and then I realized that it was because there's Blue Cheese and Bacon sauce on the meat! So even while things are heating up, the Blue Cheese is cooling you down! It's a convenient setup that's conventional to eat while still being eco-conscious, after all, you're not leaving a pile of napkins in your wake!

As an amazing, spicy sandwich, I award an 8 of 9. Layers of flavor that combine together even as you're cooling down from the warmth of the spice, leave you with a feeling of satisfaction, and let's not forget a full tummy!
Until next we eat!
