went into the stock pot for soup. Teressa had deep
fried the wings and flavored them with a secret
sauce. The wings were an instant hit and it didn’t
take long for people to flock to the bar to
experience their new taste sensation. From that
evening on, Bu alo Wings became a regular part of
the menu at the Anchor Bar. The phenomenon
created in 1964 by Teressa Bellissimo has spread
across the globe.” Although many have tried to
duplicate the Bu alo wing, the closely guarded
secret recipe is what makes Frank & Teressa’s the
proclaimed “Best Wings in the World.”
Rajeesh had felt a connection to the story of
Teressa as he too loved to share his passion for
cooking, especially traditional Kerala dishes. One of
the many awards that Anchor Bar received included
the James Beard Foundation Award, which is given
to restaurants “that have timeless appeal, beloved
for quality food that reflect the history and
2018
character of the community.” Both Ravi and
Rajeesh finally found something that also shared
the Kerala value of meaningful food.
In the future, the Mallus plan on adding their own
touch into the Anchor Bar menu by incorporating a
new Tandoori wing and Mallu Samosa. To those who
wish to enter the restaurant industry, Rajeesh
suggests to get an associates or bachelors degree
in business or finance, and along the way, work in
restaurants that you like. Learn how every single job
works, including dishwashing, waiting, bartending,
hosting and cooking. Lastly, the business industry
works predominantly on relationships. So surround
yourself with those who challenge you and make
you work hard.
Bu alo’s Anchor Bar is located on the north east
corner of Rochester Road & Auburn Road. The
