He didn’t have a business plan, investors, or even a license to operate, just a passion for authentic buffalo wings and a refusal to accept “no” for an answer. What began as a rogue delivery experiment evolved into an international powerhouse with over 140 locations across the U.S. and six countries. Interested in reading the book before the event?
