#BrandonLikesWings #6 - Hoak's / Hamburg, NY

I will start by saying I did not go here for wings. My friend Garret asked me go out to dinner with his in-laws at Hoak's. While I was there i noticed some wings and said "why not".

AMAZING view!! When you walk in you enter into a small bar area. Even from here you can see the water. 2 TV's are placed in prime location to catch a game while you're grabbing a drink. This is a prime location for a dinner with the family or day drinks with your friends. It served its purpose while we were waiting for our table. The bartenders were very friendly and even with the influx of people waling in their service was quick. As I mentioned above this is a great place to chill, so the lack of a pool table and dart board is not surprising. I didn't see a Touch Tunes but there could of been one around the corner or in an area I didn't see.

I grabbed some crispy, hot wings for my appetizer. Presentation was alright. I think they're were trying to be fancy with a nice glass white plate with some lettuce garnish that took up half of it. Standard Blu Cheese cup on the side. First thing I noticed was the wings were not saucy at all along with being an array of different sizes. Seeing the wings had little to no sauce on them i figured they would be really crispy, not at all. Every drumstick was soft. Some of the flats had a crunch to them but the majority was just meh. On top of no crunch there was zero flavor.

Im not going to go on and bash an establishments wings if I never intended to order them or was told to go there for the wings. I will say again. If you want a place with a view on a nice summer day. Cold drinks, and friendly staff, this is a solid stop .

BREAKING: Allen vs Mahomes - By: Brandon Siclari / Sports

Here it is! What we have all been waiting for, Patrick vs Josh. 15 vs 17. Chiefs vs. Bills. We have our match-up, Allen v Mahomes. . . . .In a competition to see who can throw the ball farther. . . . . . Yesterday on Barstool Radio Josh Allen challenged Kermit, I mean Mahomes to see who can throw the ball farther. Last year Mohomes stated " I've seen these things with Josh, but I'm going to say I believe I have the stronger arm. I've never seen anyone throw harder than me with the football, Until I see it in person, I believe I have the stronger arm." Here is my quick take on this. Allen has a video throwing the ball 77 yards, Mahomes claims at his pro day he threw it "like 80 if it was windy, but I didn't throw it as good as I could have. . . " Mahomes sounds like that kid that claims he is an amazing Ice Hockey player then you get him out there and he starts blaming the skates or the stick was tapped wrong. I'm not saying he doesn

Music City Miracle 2 -Titans Cheat again /// By: Siclari

What a sad fan base that a twitter poll means this much to them. . . My plan was to go over the disturbing Game Of Thrones poster for the up coming series final on April 14th.  If this poster is foreshadowing anything its complete destruction. I CANT WAIT!!! Now onto something I had no idea I was going to talk about or even think about again, a sad sad fan base, the Tennessee Titans. When Fox Sports came out with a bracket for best NFL fan base I knew the Buffalo Bills would do well. It means nothing but it was fun to pay attention to and see how they fared. Bills beat out, in my opinion, some of the best fan bases in the NFL to get to the final four. Seattle, Green Bay, and Saints. When I saw we would be going up against the Titans I easily chalked this up as a win. When the voting was over I checked Twitter and we lost. I was surprised seeing when I first checked Bills were up around 70% to 30% and didn't think Titans had enough fans to make up that difference. In a way I

Stay Safe. Stay Sane. - Siclari

A photo of me looking to go out on a Friday night during COVID-19. We're all this guy right now. First off. I hope everyone is doing well during these times. Not only with staying safe, but staying sane. My family is doing really well at the staying safe part.  Its the sane part that I am struggling with. 2020. You started out so well. Seven days in you gave me my son Rocco and things were looking upward. Then it all went to shit. Not with Rocco just with everything that is going on. Instead of taking Rocco out in to the world we are showing him around our 1200sq foot loft with no yard and only 3 small windows that will open. COVID-19 has taken over 2020. Lets go back to Jan, the last time you heard from me. I can let everyone know that Brandon Siclari has kept a human being alive and well for 3 months now. Whoever bet under 3 months, I will be awaiting your apology. Social Distancing has gone OK for me. I will be the first one to tell you that I am not one of these &q
