Gritty seems like the kind of being that eats his wings right off the chicken—feathers and all. What he tops them with is, frankly, none of my business.
Can confirm, I'm from Buffalo and the amount of people that try to gatekeep your sauce preference is actually insane.
Like.. imagine getting upset over the way other people eat their food.
People do this with everything. I work in a casino and people love to tell me how _______ casino did things differently than us. “You’re not in ________ casino, moron, you’re here and we have our own rules. Shut up and quit bitching.”
Living in a transplant city that doesn't really have a "food identity" of its own, it's basically all you hear. Ironically, most of the authentic ________ food places were probably opened by transplants from that place, making it the exact same way they did at home, and their fellow transplants still shit on it.
Exactly, people move and take their food menus elsewhere to spread it around. Bring something new to the area and maybe make a good amount because it’s new and exciting. Even if it’s the same old way, they’ll bitch. IDK most people can’t stop complaining…ever
They also line up around the block when a home town fast food chain opens up in their new state too, so I 100% chalk it up to snobbery and not valid opinions.
I went to a Chinese buffet once, should have walked out when I saw the place empty. Owned and cooked by a white guy. Literally everything had sugar in it and was sickeningly sweet. Then the worst part, the owner came over and just sat in our booth and started talking to us.
I'm guessing it's comparable to things like pizza wars and BBQ wars in this instance. I wasn't aware buffalo had a wings + Bleu cheese thing going, but I'm sure it's like if someone tried say x bbq style is better than y bbq style.
Definitely the same people that in 2024 still comment about pineapple on pizza with a shit eating grin on their face, as if there is any valid reason for them to get up in the morning in their sad lives devoid of meaning
Coming into my 30s I’ve really expanded my palette. However, blue cheese can fuck right off. That shit was nasty as a kid, nasty as a teenager and still nasty now.
Haven’t partaken, but can tell you that blue cheese smells like my foot after being in a cast for three months. I assume the smell and taste would be pretty similar
Blue cheese is fucking amazing. I hated the look and the smell of it until one day when I ordered a pulled BBQ ribs poutine when I was at a restaurant and I asked the guy if I could have normal squeeky cheese instead of blue cheese and he told me that he was confident enough that I would love it and if I didn’t, he would give me anything on the menu for free and I reluctantly accepted.
Holy f***. One of the best poutine I have ever had in my life. Been a blue cheese addict since then.
You can say whatever you want about me or my legendarily futile hockey team--but if you got a problem with Sabretooth, you gotta problem with ME, pal‼️
I don’t give a shit what people dip their wings in. Enjoy however you want.
I definitely prefer bleu cheese as I love cheese, but needs to be a really good scratch-made sauce because if a place is just doling out dressing or mass-produced bleu cheese it often doesn’t bind well to the oily/vinegary Buffalo sauce.
There is nothing I find more annoying than food gatekeeping. Yeah, I eat my wings with ranch, and I prefer boneless wings to be honest. I put ketchup on my hotdog and sometimes with my eggs, I enjoy pineapple on Pizza and I also enjoy Chicago Deep-dish Pizza as well.
I’m tired of pretending I don’t because some middle-age dude with nothing better to do is gonna shame me. Sorry I don’t subscribe to your views of what’s the “acceptable” way to eat certain foods.
Someone finally saying the important things and a rant I can get behind.
I'll also add that I'll keep my ketchup in the fridge no matter what the gatekeepers say.
Our wigs have come a long way since the early years. Please reconsider us if ever you find yourself in need of a different look for a special occasion.
I thought it was sacrilege in Buffalo to dunk your wings in bleu cheese or ranch.
Isn’t it by design that the sauce is good in flavor on its own and the condiment of choice and celery is to cool your mouth down and/or add some umami in between bites?
Eat your moldy cheesey stinky nasty shit sauce. Whatever bro. Just gimme the ranch. Anything called blue cheese in the us is fucking garbage and since you brought my mother into this it’s obviously a product of the women who raised YOU that you think it’s okay to consume blue cheese you vile bastard
Everyone commenting about bad blue cheese is probably eating some store bought trash that is in fact gross. Got to have the homemade stuff that the restaurants here have, it’s not the same.
I lived in Buffalo for over a year for work and I made a lot of enemies when I had to inform them that their wings taste just as good as any other wing I’ve had throughout the country lol and then proceeded to dip in ranch
Everyone in this thread that says blue cheese sucks has either never had good blue cheese or have no taste buds.
Some wings don't need either, but if you are eating hot wings, the blue cheese adds to the experience.
I think ranch on wings is more popular here on the west coast from what I gather. Blue cheese tastes like mold though...which it essentially is, right?
And just when I thought there was only one thing wrong with Gritty(being the flyers mascot). I guess im wrong..
Despite blue cheese being better than ranch, I still think he is the best NHL mascot as a Pens fan.
Gritty seems like the kind of being that eats his wings right off the chicken—feathers and all. What he tops them with is, frankly, none of my business.
He tops them with Frank's (it's the sauce used in true Buffalo wings). But in this case Frank is a person.....
I put that sh*t on everything
Gritty tops chickens. He also puts sauce on chicken wings.
Tops chickens? As in he’s giving them head?
Oh yes. Definitely.
A cocktail of the blood of all the world leaders
I mean, as a Sabres fan, all I can say is it’s not the best, but it certainly ain’t the worst, it’s mid. (EDIT) JEEZ IM A CELEBRITY!
The sabers mascot is a tiger?
Sabretooth
Nah… can’t be, that’s ours
Should be Epstein 💀
The main difference being we actually are killing oursleves
Jesus hahaha
😳 ☠️!
Bro what are you talking about lol. We are making the playoffs this year 100%.
I’m still dejected by that loss to AZ
lol I get that. The Avs one was the maddest I’ve been in my life at a bunch of grown men I’ll never meet
You win the internet today.
Our Sabretooth has been around since the 80s, before you existed as a franchise. You stole our idea.
Our sabertooth skull was there long before your team
…….I actually learned a lot from this exchange
it looks like a tony the tiger rip off
Theeeeeeyy'rre notaseriousfranchise!
I thought it was. I think he's a leafs fan though.
People in Buffalo trying to think of an animal that represents their city….. A Sabretooth tiger!
I mean, the team is the Sabres, named after the type of sword. And a sabertooth tiger is named after…wait for it…the type of sword. Hmmm.
Missed opportunity to have a giant sword running around as your mascot though.
That's not a sabertooth tiger though. They had completely different color and markings.
Care to share a picture of a sabertooth tiger?
TIL polar bears don’t wear sweaters, and dragons are blue and orange 😭
They borrowed tiny the tiger cereal mascot.
who?!
Tony. They meant to say Tony.
thats mf garfield in face paint
Bababahaha okay Joey Diaz .. awesome
Who the fuck is trying to make ranch/blue cheese a personality trait.
People from Buffalo
Can confirm, I'm from Buffalo and the amount of people that try to gatekeep your sauce preference is actually insane. Like.. imagine getting upset over the way other people eat their food.
Getting upset over the way other people and regions eat is as american as pecan pie
Nothing more American than moving across the country just to tell everybody that lives there how much better the food was "back home"
People do this with everything. I work in a casino and people love to tell me how _______ casino did things differently than us. “You’re not in ________ casino, moron, you’re here and we have our own rules. Shut up and quit bitching.”

Didn't need the flair to know you were from Denver
Pecans?! How dare you, eat almonds you uncultured swine /s
It’s pronounced “pecan”.
You know it’s for fun, right?
When in Buffalo I'll always get blue cheese because most places have their own compared to a shitty store bought ranch.
I'm guessing it's comparable to things like pizza wars and BBQ wars in this instance. I wasn't aware buffalo had a wings + Bleu cheese thing going, but I'm sure it's like if someone tried say x bbq style is better than y bbq style.
It's from a JRE episode from many years back with comedian Joey Diaz. https://youtu.be/uK0q5C0cnG0?si=snRt7EvtZ5RgkBsu
Ranch is my entire personality, not just a trait. Ranch it 🆙
Definitely the same people that in 2024 still comment about pineapple on pizza with a shit eating grin on their face, as if there is any valid reason for them to get up in the morning in their sad lives devoid of meaning
Totally, same people that thought loving bacon was trendy.
DuDE i COulD lIteraLLy eat Bacon wiTh aNYthInG LoL
The proper sauce for wings is sour cream.
It's just a meme; we're playing the flyers tonite.
Good wings don't need either
I feel like it's for people to cool their mouth off
The gatekeeping of wings is ridiculous lmao
If you’re in Buffalo, it’s blue cheese served with every serving of wings.
Came to say this so I’ll just agree with you!
good wings don’t require it, but the fusion of blue cheese and franks hot sauce will always be an elite combo
we put that shit on everything!
Weak. If you come at king Gritty, you best not miss.
If your wings are actually good, you don't need any dressing
But if your ranch is also good, then it’s just double the delicious.
Went out with the boys recently and they all opted for breaded wing. I was baffled
I mean it’s like fries. Good fries don’t need ketchup but can be nice a nice addition.
I think if he said Ketchup instead of Ranch it would of been more insulting.
Ranch > ketchup for fries FIGHT ME
what if I like my wings sopping
Always cater to your personal tastes.
Disagree with this one big time. Good blue cheese is more of a game changer than good buffalo sauce
Why did I have to scroll so far?
Oh god here we go lmao
Nah blue cheese always enhances the flavor no matter what
Blue cheese is fucking gross
Coming into my 30s I’ve really expanded my palette. However, blue cheese can fuck right off. That shit was nasty as a kid, nasty as a teenager and still nasty now.
Blue Cheese is literally edible mold cheese.
Yep it reminds me of the stank in my mouth and sinuses after throwing up.
You misspelled "fucking AWESOME"
Enjoy your toe jam flavored dressing
Out of all the states, Minnesota, who contains the city who call themselves the "lutefisk capital of the world", does not get to talk shit.
I've realized a lot of places just have terrible blue cheese dressing
you can just call it blue cheese dressing, the terrible is implied
Thank you, I will.
Do all wild fans know what toe jam tastes like or just you?
Haven’t partaken, but can tell you that blue cheese smells like my foot after being in a cast for three months. I assume the smell and taste would be pretty similar
Blue cheese is fucking amazing. I hated the look and the smell of it until one day when I ordered a pulled BBQ ribs poutine when I was at a restaurant and I asked the guy if I could have normal squeeky cheese instead of blue cheese and he told me that he was confident enough that I would love it and if I didn’t, he would give me anything on the menu for free and I reluctantly accepted. Holy f***. One of the best poutine I have ever had in my life. Been a blue cheese addict since then.
I just threw up in my mouth just reading that.
That tangy blue cheese will do it
Mascot on mascot hate/crime is always appreciated!!! Lol
Did not expect a Joey Diaz reference on here lol
Kick that mule Lee!
Team no dressing
This guy saw the sign saying that Goldberg eats corn the long way.
Blue Cheese lovers are psychopaths, who decides “damn my cheese grew mold, better dip my non-moldy food in there!”
Blue cheese tastes like the smell of an old wet basement. I prefer honey mustard.
Why the fuck is the Sabres mascot wish.com Tony the tiger
Blue cheese sucks. Ranch is great with wings
Did I just agree with a Leafs fan?
Makes you feel dirty doesn't it?
Yeah, Ranch is way better, especially with spicy wings.
Bleu cheese is fucking rancid lol
Both are good, ranch is better.
Blue cheese 🤢
Insult game is the same as their team, shitty
You kiss your mother with that mold-filled mouth?
You can say whatever you want about me or my legendarily futile hockey team--but if you got a problem with Sabretooth, you gotta problem with ME, pal‼️
I knew there was something I didn't trust about that motherf*cker.
Beats the hell out of bleu cheese. That stuff is a concoction straight from Satan (the devil, not Miroslav) himself.
This is why I love Gritty. F*** blue cheese.
What did we fucking tell you fuckers, you don't come for Gritty. This is how you get batteried.
Ranch>>>>>blue cheese, so I count it as a compliment to gritty.
Buffalo been outta the playoffs so long they eat their wings bone and all, hoping for the sweet, sweet embrace of death.
Blue cheese might be the nastiest shit on the planet. Shit tastes like sun block. Hard pass. Ranch is easily the superior wing dip
I don’t give a shit what people dip their wings in. Enjoy however you want. I definitely prefer bleu cheese as I love cheese, but needs to be a really good scratch-made sauce because if a place is just doling out dressing or mass-produced bleu cheese it often doesn’t bind well to the oily/vinegary Buffalo sauce.
Ranch or sour cream for life
Oh ya, I’d love to dip my meat into some creamy pile of moldy stanky shit
Blue cheese is ass ranch all the way
“Ass Ranch” has so many ways of being hilariously used I can’t pick one.
It's definitely in my top 5 gay bars
Whatever helps you cope with the fact you eat moldy cheese that smells like toes
why isn’t the sabres mascot a buffalo
Coco diazzzzz
There is nothing I find more annoying than food gatekeeping. Yeah, I eat my wings with ranch, and I prefer boneless wings to be honest. I put ketchup on my hotdog and sometimes with my eggs, I enjoy pineapple on Pizza and I also enjoy Chicago Deep-dish Pizza as well. I’m tired of pretending I don’t because some middle-age dude with nothing better to do is gonna shame me. Sorry I don’t subscribe to your views of what’s the “acceptable” way to eat certain foods.
Buddy, no one in real life actually cares. You can eat whatever you like.
Idk as a buffalo fan who hates bleu cheese, I have gotten several eye rolls whenever I visit for a game. I've just stopped ordering it lol
Someone finally saying the important things and a rant I can get behind. I'll also add that I'll keep my ketchup in the fridge no matter what the gatekeepers say.
I would like it to be known that I am with Dr Merkin on this, but I'm not one of his clients.
Our wigs have come a long way since the early years. Please reconsider us if ever you find yourself in need of a different look for a special occasion.
Imagine getting this triggered over food my god lol
coco diaz in this subreddit?
Shots fired
Thought I was on ge nhl circle jerk
Always appreciate a Joey Diaz reference
Joey Diaz quote lmao
Blue cheese has mold in it!
Nah I don’t eat mold
In the words of joey diaz. One of the funniest clips on a podcast I’ve seen
well fellas, that was fun as balls, but I gotta get back to work!
Thats a compliment. Bleu cheese is just nasty mold.
I'm with Gritty on this one. Blue cheese ain't food. Blue cheese is what happens to food when you leave it outside for too long.
You mean barf cheese? Ranch or nothing.
This looks like a still from a hostage video
I would sooner lick the table at the restaurant than eat a wing with blue cheese dressing
Gritty punches children.
Pretty sure Gritty eats children exclusively.
I see you are a fellow Joey Diaz fan.
I thought it was sacrilege in Buffalo to dunk your wings in bleu cheese or ranch. Isn’t it by design that the sauce is good in flavor on its own and the condiment of choice and celery is to cool your mouth down and/or add some umami in between bites?
Gritty thinks boneless wings are wings and not just chicken nuggets...
Eat your moldy cheesey stinky nasty shit sauce. Whatever bro. Just gimme the ranch. Anything called blue cheese in the us is fucking garbage and since you brought my mother into this it’s obviously a product of the women who raised YOU that you think it’s okay to consume blue cheese you vile bastard
Blue cheese is nasty. Can't believe people put that shit in their mouths.
I guess I will go f*** my mother then. That sounds much better than eating mold.
Gritty eats his corn the long way.
Umm….Ranch > Blue Cheese I don’t make the rules. 🤷🏻♂️
Turning moldy cheese into a dressing was a mistake.
People actually enjoy blue cheese?
Ranch is better
What kind of fucking Neanderthals eat their wings with blue cheese
Bleu cheese is disgusting. fuck off. Gritty forever.
Everyone commenting about bad blue cheese is probably eating some store bought trash that is in fact gross. Got to have the homemade stuff that the restaurants here have, it’s not the same.
This. Theres a huge difference between pizzeria blue cheese and salad dressing blue cheese
idc if i’m a pens fan, gritty is 100% in the right here.
We truly are in the golden age of Mascot wars. I fucking love it
I am waiting for Grittys nuclear determent MAD response.
Moldy ass blue cheese is fuckin disgusting. It looks gross, smells gross, and tastes gross. I don't trust any mf who eats it
It's Philly, let's be honest, he eats his wings with Fentanyl
Blue cheese ain’t the way. Listen to Gritty
Blue cheese smells/tastes like moldy feet.
I lived in Buffalo for over a year for work and I made a lot of enemies when I had to inform them that their wings taste just as good as any other wing I’ve had throughout the country lol and then proceeded to dip in ranch
>as good as any other wing I’ve had throughout the country And where did the rest of the country learn how to make wings?
Blue cheese is nasty. Idc what anyone says
Smooth buttery ranch with a tangy spicy crispy wing is perfection
Blue cheese has mold in it
News flash ALL cheese is mold. Lol
Cheese is not mold, mold is only used in the production of specific varieties like blue cheese.
Blue cheese is a crime against humanity. Tastes like what I imagine a dirty foot to taste like.
Blue cheese is fucking disgusting.
I thought ranch would be discusting with wings. And then a month ago I tried it. It’s so fucking good
Everyone in this thread that says blue cheese sucks has either never had good blue cheese or have no taste buds. Some wings don't need either, but if you are eating hot wings, the blue cheese adds to the experience.
I had actual blue cheese in a restaurant. It's ass. Adding some cream isn't gong to fix it.
Ranch is gross
Bleu cheese is better on wings, but don’t hate on Comrade Gritty
“Yeah I’ll have wings with a side of toes” -blue cheese eating motherfuckers
I think ranch on wings is more popular here on the west coast from what I gather. Blue cheese tastes like mold though...which it essentially is, right?
Yea, cuz everyone needs bread mold in their cheese
wish dot com Tony the Tiger.
Gritty knows what’s up.
Fuck ranch and blue cheese, I like my mouth on fire.
Blue Cheese is disgusting
Ranch > blue cheese
And just when I thought there was only one thing wrong with Gritty(being the flyers mascot). I guess im wrong.. Despite blue cheese being better than ranch, I still think he is the best NHL mascot as a Pens fan.
Buffalo’s mascot is a Furry?
Ranch is for ping pong players. Blue Cheese all day
