Buffalo Wild Wings

Just like Kenny Chesney says, “My Only Friends are Pirates”.. ok well.. I have friends who aren't pirates too! But some of my very best friends are pirates! Seven years ago I began my college career at ECU. Little did I know the people that I shared a dorm, ate dining hall food, walked to classes, went to the Rec Center and attended FCA with on Monday nights would become my family. We helped each other through everything. Learning how to live on our own, making trips to the grocery store, learning how to cook and clean and solve life’s little problems – we got through them all. One of my favorite quotes says “The best memories are from the nights that turn into mornings and the friends that turn into family.” This is truly what we did. Since college we have all gone our separate ways and live in different towns, and unfortunately we don’t spend every waking moment together like we did for four wonderful years. When we all have a chance to get together we make the best out of it, and making the best of our time together – we certainly do! Last Saturday night, fifteen of us gathered at the new Buffalo Wild Wings at Southpoint Mall for a reunion. First we were excited to see each other and second we were beyond excited to eat at “Bdubs.” We ate at Bdubs all the time when we were in college. They have the best wings a pirate could ask for! The closest Buffalo Wild Wings to Raleigh is either Greenville, NC or Burlington, NC. Having a grand opening in our vicinity is very exciting. Most of us have not had the opportunity to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings since we graduated and our meal Saturday night was like heaven! We are a very talkative group and did not stop talking the whole dinner. But as soon as our food arrived, our large table of 15 hardly said a word. Sadly, not everyone could make it to our reunion Saturday night but we had a great time with those who could make it! We will be having many more Bdubs dinners now that we can have a taste of purple and gold so close to home.
