Description

Matt Plapp, CEO of national media and marketing company America’s Best Restaurants, headquartered in Florence, KY, is featured as an expert commentator on an upcoming episode of the popular History Channel series, The Food That Built America. The episode, titled “The Flight of the Buffalo Wing”, chronicles the rise of the humble hot-sauced chicken wing from its origins in Buffalo, NY to a true culinary phenomenon. The episode premieres on Sunday, March 5th at 9 pm EST. Plapp, who claims his favorite food has always been Buffalo wings, makes it a point to visit restaurants that serve wings as part of the travels of the America’s Best Restaurants’ Roadshow. Not only that, ABR is a sponsor of the National Buffalo Wing Festival held every Labor Day weekend in Buffalo, NY. Nonetheless, Plapp was astounded that the History Channel reached out to him and flew him to New York this past August to take part in the taping of the episode. “I was blown away by such an honor,” states Plapp. “To get a call to be their expert for the show was huge.” Now in its fourth season, The Food That Built America tells the story of iconic foods that are part of the American culinary landscape. Each episode focuses on a particular food, such as Buffalo wings, or a brand, such as Kellogg’s or McDonald’s. The episodes rely on actors to portray events crucial to the story, interspersed with commentary from historians and experts. Plapp and his team at America’s Best Restaurants will be hosting a watch party at Buffalo Bob’s Family Restaurant in Florence from 8:30 to 10 pm on Sunday, March 5th. Buffalo Bob’s is located at 9910 Berberich Drive, Florence KY 41042. Watch the official Food Network commercial here:
