Pass the sauce Eatery set to dispense two tons of wings BY CHRISTOPHER CORNELL ADVANTAGE EDITOR
At Thanksgiving, people eat a lot. At Christmas, people eat a lot. But there’s a third event where great food is part of the festivities. It’s the Super Bowl and it’s coming up this weekend. Some like to whip up their own treats to nosh during the big game, but many others prefer to let area eateries provide the feast and plenty of them have been cranking out great eats for days in preparation. While the valley has plenty of popular restaurants, among the most beloved is the Windsor Inn in Jermyn which has been serving up the “world’s second-best hot wings” since 1977. “We were the first place to serve hot wings outside the state of New York,” said general manager Gary Urnoski. “People venture in from all over the country to appease their curiosity about our wings. On an average week we sell ... 35 cases of wings.” That number will be much higher this weekend. “The majority of Super Bowl business is takeout and advance orders start coming in two weeks ahead of time. However, Friday through Sunday the phones won’t stop ringing.” Urnoski said the Windsor staff makes about 320 gallons of wing sauce, puts about 20 cases of blue cheese into serving containers and cuts and proportions 15 cases of celery.
TS_CNG/ADVANTAGE/PAGES [A01] | 01/31/19
“And of course, we have to make room for about two tons of wings,” Urnoski added. “We will go through about 200 cases of wings Super Bowl weekend.” “The Super Bowl has become synonymous with wings in recent years and therefore we are a part of the local tradition leading up to the big game,” said Windsor Inn owner Dan Cardell. “We know how much people in Northeastern Pennsylvania love football, and it doesn’t matter what teams are playing in the Super Bowl. It’s an excuse to get together with friends and family.” “For us the Super Bowl starts about 2 weeks before the big game,” Urnoski said. “It’s a precision process that has been perfected through the years in order to accommodate the sheer volume. Our cooks will start firing up the wings at about 3 a.m. on Super Bowl Sunday. We will have four people just counting out wings.” Orders will be staged throughout the dining room by 8 a.m. They will take up the entire dining area. The dining room is closed on Sunday and the regular menu is not available. “We do keep our bar area open, however, so people can enjoy their wings with a cold draft,” Cardell said. Pickup times for orders range from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and it is a constant flow of traffic the entire time. “We will process between 600 and 700 orders that day,” Urnoski noted. “Our staff takes pride in its execution on this challenging day and really make it happen with limited issues,” Cardell said. “It’s truly amazing to witness.” But one question remains to be answered: why “second best?”

The Windsor Inn crew includes, from left, first row: Rachel Decker, Chrissy Houser and Angel Mecke. Second row: Jim Noone, Buzz Hunt, Abby Hunt, Courtney Ciesielski, Theresa Bebla and Gary Urnoski. Third row: Jason Ciesielski, Matt Sokalsky, Matt Kochis and Chris Stoklosa. “Back in 1977,” Urnoski said, “we were the first place outside the state of New York to serve Buffalo wings. The concept all started shortly before that in Buffalo, New York at a place called The Anchor Inn. Out of respect to them the original owners decided to use ‘world’s second best’ as the slogan.”
It actually works well from a marketing standpoint,” Cardell agreed. “If we said we were the ‘world’s best,” nobody would ask the question. Second best always raises the question and engages the customer into conversation and we love to tell our story.”

aro und tow n Donson
Local author book talk Dr. Paula Donson will be at Valley Community Library, 739 R ive r S t . i n P e c k v i l l e o n Wednesday, Feb. 20, at 6 p.m. to discuss her book, “This Kind of Courage,” written about her grandmother, Anna Donson. Although Anna was a wonderful grandmother — loving, supportive and indulgent to her extended family — her story of escape from the TransCarpathian Mountains is dramatic. The story of escape from a forced marriage, hiding in a monastery to evade her searchers and finally gaining the support of a parish priest who helped her in her quest to come to America. In the book, Dr. Donson tells the story of her grandmother’s
life in the mid-valley area in the early 1900s. Anna was an early pioneer, and later a bride, a mother and a hard-working emigre from Eastern Slovakia. Like so many others who came at that time, she was looking for an opportunity for a better life. She was in search of a chance to start her own family, to use her talents and industry to build a home and a community that would provide for herself, her husband and children in a way that she did not see possible in her native village. No registration is required for this free event. For more information, call the library at 570-489-1765, or visit lclshome. org/valley.

Local bank makes charitable donation
The Fidelity Bank D&D Charitable Foundation has made a contribution to Penn State Scranton’s student hardship fund, which aids students who find themselves facing unexpected financial challenges. Fidelity Bank senior vice president and human resources director Mary McNichols recently presented the $1,000 check to Penn State Scranton director of development, Christine Ostroski at the campus. “We are extremely thankful to Fidelity Bank for their generosity to the campus and to those students here at Penn State Scranton who find themselves, unexpectedly, in dire need of financial assistance to continue their studies,” Ostroski said. “Their contribution to the Student Hardship Fund will definitely have a positive impact on students who need it the most.”
The Student Hardship Fund at Penn State Scranton was established in 2014. Since then the fund has helped students in need, by assisting students to cover tuition, student fees, books and living expenses.
