I eat them to help cool the pallet after the hot wings.
Every other time I just throw them away.

The first wings were served in Buffalo at The Anchor Bar in the 60's. The woman that owned it served a group fried wings with hot sauce, bleu cheese, and celery because that's all she had on hand.
I eat the celery with wings.
You are supposed to use the carrots and celery as chopsticks to pick up the wings, so you don't get sauce all over your fingers. It's amazing how many people do not know this.
That's what I was told. The celery etc helps to reduce the burn from eating the wings.
Now whether that's true or not...............
The dressing does. The celery is just a delivery device.
I went to the Anchor Bar and it was one of the most disappointing food experiences ever. Sometimes the original is not the best, or even very good for that matter.
Wings used to be the throw-away part of a chicken for most restaurants. In the early '70s, KFC would occasionally have a sale when they would get rid of their wings for a dime apiece. The bar I frequented in Cedar Rapids in the mid-'70s was next door to a Chinese restaurant and had a deal with the restaurant to take its wings, because people who ate in restaurants didn't want them. The bar would fry them and give them away during happy hour with dipping sauce. Not blue cheese, though.
To hopefully delay the heart attack until they get home and reduce the restaurant's liability exposure?
So true...made a stop there before the 2007 game at Syracuse...meh
Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse didnt disapoint...
Does the Longbranch in CR still do all-you-can-keep-down wings on Thursdays? Ten, or so, years ago it was $3. They were good, too.
Anyway, I eat the carrots and the celery and probably more bleu cheese, by weight, than wings.

i find the carrots and celery to be a great match with really hot wings. i don't wait until the end, i mix them in after every wing or two.
I never eat the celery. If I wanted to eat healthy, I'd have ordered a salad not wings!
They do and it's still $3.
The last I knew they also do sports trivia and a cup night drink special. It's pretty crazy on their part.
Celery & carrots go well with ranch dressing, as do wings. Duh.
Or it's to make the gals or guys on a diet feel better while eating the wings.
For those who have trouble with this, the one that refers to the mouth ends in "ate" so as long as you remember it has something to do with what you ate, you'll get it right.
Remember when this guy was fairly normal?
And some posts from Lone Clone prior to having 'no choice'. What a time capsule!
Now you can only get $3 all you can eat wing.
I gotta admit when someone asked if the Longbranch still did their wings thing that someone was going to reply that it closed 10 years ago.
