OUR HISTORY:

Legend has it that the first Buffalo Style chicken wings were served at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York in 1964. Soon, other Buffalo restaurants added the spicy wings to their menus and everyone in town discovered the taste.

Eddie Hauck, a native of Buffalo, moved to Florida in 1970. His parents Ed Senior and Jane were already living in Fort Lauderdale.

As Eddie met and talked with other Buffalo natives who had moved south, he discovered that like him, they all wished there was a local restaurant serving their delicious Buffalo Style chicken wings. Well, Eddie did something about it. In 1974, he opened the first "Wings 'N Things" Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale.

Eddie's Buffalo friends had their wish. As word would spread they flocked to "Wings 'N Things" to down platefuls of Buffalo Wings served with celery sticks and Eddie's own bleu cheese dressing.

Soon they started introducing their friends to the magic of original Buffalo Wings and those friends brought their friends well the rest is history.

In 2002, Bob Brudzinski was awarded the "The Silver Anniversary Edition of the Butkus Award." Named in honor of Mr Dick Butkus. The Butkus award has achieved a level of recognition arguably second only to the longer running Heisman Trophy. Honoring the best linebacker in college football, its prestige is illustrated by the composition of its national selection committee, all foremost members of the national media, and the feeling of its past recipients who consider it one of their most illustrious career achievements. Its 16 inches high, weighs 35 pounds and sits on a two-inch marble base. With the classic Butkus pose, the consummate linebacker, hands resting slightly on his knees, poised to attack.

Bru became the first round draft pick of the Rams in 1977 and played in Los Angeles for four years. In 1979, he was the second leading tackler for the Rams and was part of the defense that held Seattle to an NFL record minus 7 yards total offense.

In 1981, Bob was traded to the Miami Dolphins. As a Dolphin, Bob became a strong defensive presence and lead the team in tackles in 1983 and voted Miami's Outstanding Linebacker by the Florida Media in 1984. Bob was an integral part of the defense for the Miami Dolphins in Superbowls XVII and XIX.

In 13 years of professional football, a long time for a linebacker, Bob Brudzinski recorded over 600 tackles, played in three Superbowls and voted to the Dolphin's 25th Silver Anniversary team.
