When you hear “Buffalo Wild Wings,” your first thought is probably not craft beer. A conglomerate that cranks out 27 million wings a week, Buffalo Wild Wings is probably more often associated with the kinds of big American lagers you’d expect to find at a casual dining and sports bar franchise.

It’s an exciting year for Jews because Hanukkah, a festival of lights that lasts eight nights, falls over both Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

Not every charcuterie board is created equal. They all are, generally, created awesome. If you haven’t experienced the meat plate-gone-fancy otherwise known as charcuterie, you should pencil it into your calendar.
