Katipunan mourned when they lost the gem that is Buffalo's Wings N' Things in Regis. But don't fret because this underrated chicken place can be found almost everywhere, they have branches in Cubao, Marikina, Manila, Fairview, and many more. They serve a multitude of chicken wing flavors but we recommend that you get their Jalapeño Cheddar and pair it with their famous dirty rice.
