Delaware North’s executive chef at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, Zach Skinner, joined Amazon Prime’s Thursday Night Football postgame show on Sept. 18 as the hosts participated in a game of “hot wing roulette.” Former Buffalo Bills quarterback and current Amazon host Ryan Fitzpatrick and Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez both drew the unfortunate fate of the wing that Skinner dubbed “an 18 out of 10” in terms of heat index. Sports Illustrated was among several media outlets to recap the segment – with clips of their funny but painful reactions included.
