What is comfort food without finger foods? Let’s look at some of the most famous finger foods across the world and of course where to eat them in Mumbai.
1. Buffalo Wings at Chili’s, Malad
Rumoured to have originated in a tavern in Buffalo, NY, their popularity has since soared across the world. The National Chicken Council of America (seriously?) estimated that more than 1.25 billion pieces of Buffalo Wings were eaten within a few hours into the Superbowl 2014.
Probably we have figured out the cause of America’s high mortality rate.
