The Start of Kentucky’s Original Buffalo Wing Headquarters

“A few short years ago, while going through the change of life, and still semi-intellectual and not fully senile, I embarked on a search for a place that had Buffalo style chicken wings and fresh shellfish. Having to travel out of state to encounter such foods, I decided to open a place in Louisville where other people of this caliber could gather and quench their thirst for the finer things in life!

Time and money being of the essence, and after riding around town with every local Realtor, and no free rides left, I finally found a building nobody wanted, (or listed!).

Now the dilemma... a name for such a place. Simple. Where else could you stretch the truth over a cold beer, chicken wings, and an occasional winning day at the track. Hence the name "Rumors."”
