<P> Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck was founded in 1982 by Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery . Lowery 's parents had become Disbrow 's guardians as they were his ice skating coaches . After Disbrow had finished judging amateur figure skating competition at Kent State University , the pair met up to get some Buffalo - style chicken wings to eat . Failing to find any restaurant serving them , they decided to open their own restaurant serving wings . For the first location , they selected a location near the Ohio State University , Columbus . Weck was an original part of the name , as beyond the wings and its dozen sauces , the restaurant served beef on weck . </P>
