Washingtonian: An Upstate New York Sports Bar Arrives in DC With Legit Buffalo Wings

Fried Rice Collective is best known for its hit Korean restaurant Anju and fast-casual Chiko. But co-owner Scott Drewno hails from outside Syracuse in a town called Penn Yan—”home to the world’s largest buckwheat pancake”—and he’s long wanted to pay homage to his upstate New York roots. Now, he’s finally getting that chance with Upstate FTW, a sports bar serving beef on weck, chicken riggies, and, of course, Buffalo wings. It opens tonight, just in time for football season.
