It’s another edition of the “Finer Wings Club” on Talking Buffalo Podcast and Patrick Moran sits down with Buffalo Sabres beat reporter Lance Lsyowski of The Buffalo News for some wings, beer and a conversation taped at Belt Line Brewery and Kitchen in downtown Buffalo.Neither of the guys has previously been to Belt Line Brewery and suffice to say, both are blown away by the quality of their wings, wings you don’t typically see at a brewery. More specifically, the "all dressed" specialty wing is spectacular, prompting Patrick to call it perhaps one of the five best specialty wings of anywhere in Western New York. The 716 (they describe as Buffalo hot) was very good as well while the Jamaican Jerk grilled was good but not on the same level as its two counterparts.Of course there’s plenty of talk about the Sabres, including Lance’s thoughts on Jack Eichel on his leadership and his on-ice ability. They also talk about the revamped defense, the shocking way the goaltending situation plays out, who he thinks assumes leadership roles in the locker room, a few guys he expects to step up this season and a prediction on who the leading scorer will be.They also spend time talking about Lance’s ongoing adjustment to being a Buffalonian, what he anticipates happening with how reporters cover the NHL this season with ongoing Covid protocols and much more. Make sure you follow Lance on Twitter @Llysowski.If you want some really (really) good wings, a solid selection of craft beers and some relaxing feel-good vibes, then most definitely make your way over the Belt Line Brewery & Kitchen, located at 545 Swan Street near downtown Buffalo♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.
