Bleu Cheese Vs Ranch

[Soulive]

Stilton is the bestest blue cheese ever....I'll be damned if I'm gonna call it bleu cheese when it ain't even French!!

Stilton rules for sure, but I also love Rochefort and Gorgonzola. I recently tried Cabrales blue, but it wasn't quite funky enough for me. I like my blue to be pretty damn funkadelic...:fro:

 

[wihophead]

the combination of Buffalo wings and blue cheese dressing makes me salivate just thinking about it. BC FTW...

You too.....

If you need to dip your wings, there is something wrong with them.

So, what's with ranch on pizza?

Only allowed on leftovers, ****ty pizza, or Hawaiian style.

I live 30 miles from Brooklyn, NY. What is this ****ty pizza you speak of?

Hehe! In this town there are 5 or 6 pizza places. They are all very good or total crap depending who you ask. I guess pizza is very prone to subjective tastes.

If you grow up out east, then move to the middle of the country, you find lots of ****ty "food". Not just pizza, but also Chinese and anything that formerly lived in the ocean. Mexican isn't bad, though

Yup, everyone has their preferences of course. I have to say though, the Italian-American food outside my area has all sucked. The common and unfounded theory around here is that its because of the tap water they use, which supposedly comes down from upstate. Whatever it is, it works...

I loathe bleu cheese

I'll be in Wisconsin in another couple years, so I'm mentally preparing already for the food there. I should be ok though because I usually enjoy the local fare when I travel. I can't think of any regional food that I couldn't get into. Of course, I've never been anywhere too weird either. I'm expecting lots of German-American cuisine in WI, which includes beer and therefore will suffice...

Yes, but soon you will find yourself flying back to Wisco with a carry on cooler filled with ducksauce and fish because you can't get the real stuff. Trust me, it will happen.

 

[Jared311]

I agree that a good wing doesn't need any dipping. But, how many times have you ordered wings and been disappointed with them? That's when the dip comes handy. For me, its bleu cheese ftw!

If your suggesting chef's in Wisconsin can't cook then...

Never mind the argument is not worth it.

Were in Wisconsin? Between Racine and Kenosha we have a pretty good sized Italian community and some pretty damn good pizza and we all know great cheese comes from Wisconsin...

Wells Brothers is one of my favorites for a thin crust and consistently is on the top in pizza polls...

For a pan pizza I like a Infusino's house special...

We'll be in Door County up on the peninsula. Is Wells Bros one location or are there multiple? I agree that great cheese comes from WI. I will probably have than I should while I'm there...

No, just saying they are hard to find in the middle of the country in general, especially Chinese.

That is a beautiful area but very touristy in the summer.

Sorry but Wells is a single family owned restaurant....it is in a bad area, they have a Sheriff patrolling the parking lot...lol but the food is great.

Yeah, we'll be adding to the touristy atmosphere...

Haha you guys dip your hot wings. If you can't handle the heat, maybe you should stick to KFC.

Having adopted Buffalo as my town and subseqently being displaced a bit east(I'm trying to come home, really working on it!!) I consider wings to be a topic of which I have some authority! And I would say the 'correct' way is bleu cheese...shiver, shudder...but I must say it is nasty! As far as I am concerned, the hotter the better and if you cant stand the heat, drink a glass of milk...

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

And this, from a nation that thinks mustard is a nice mild sauce to put on hot dogs.

 

[mr_goodwrench]

I must admit that I put mustard on hot dogs but it is hardly a mild sauce!! I wouldn't touch that bright yellow crap with a ten foot pole...

REAL mustard is more a kinda, well, mustard colour! You know, like Coleman's. Bright yellow indeed. Hmmph!

 

[Homercidal]

Spicy brown mustard for my dogs. And Horseradish mustard for the beef.

 

[Gauntlet_KI]

what is the only acceptable dip for hot wings? I myself, being raised in California, started out with ranch and stuck to it dogmatically(for some reason I have always thought of this as a west vs east thing). recently though I have seen the light and cannot even think about ruining my wings by dipping them in ranch.

so, what do you prefer? and, more importantly, WHY is one better than the other?

[I thought a nice lighthearted debate would be fun]

That thought process is wrong to start with, its not an east/west thing, if anything is more of a north/south thing. It always depends on the maker, I have found many times that one sauce is better and the other and then switches depending on the place I order at. I blue cheese on my burger and butter milk ranch (neither water downed) on my celery and neither on my wings (unless tooooooo hot)

blue cheese resurrection

 

[Beezy]

Dunno if one is better than the other but I am not a fan of blue cheese. Neither am I of celery really. Quaker Steak and Wing give carrots too. Too bad that place sucks. Last Sunday I had honey habenaro wings. I needed to dip em in a little ranch about half way in. I don't normally do that unless the sauce isn't good.

 

[DannPM]

I always order both
