Food Fight: Whose Ranch Is Better — WingStop Or Buffalo Wild Wings? We Put Them To The Test.
Ranch dressing. A classic condiment. Possibly the best one. The internet has impassioned opinions about which popular chain has the best ranch, with two particular restaurants often standing out — Buffalo Wild Wings and Wingstop.
So, today we decided to acquire ranch from both establishments and try them head-to-head to see which one reigns supreme!
For the record, Wingstop's ranch costs $1.49 and comes in a slightly larger container than Buffalo Wild Wings', which only costs 60 cents.
Before beginning this battle, we set some ground rules for this food face-off.
First, Krista (unknowingly) tasted the Buffalo Wild Wings ranch.
Krista: My first thought was that it was not a bad ranch. It was a little runny and it did taste like it was from a bottle (not like made "in-house" that day), however, it was a solid flavor. Nothing that "WOW-ed" me, but it was good.
Next, Krista had Wingstop's ranch.
Krista: OK I get the tweets now. I would drown in this stuff. It is nice and thick, but not too thick. The flavor was on-point and it definitely has that "day of" freshness. It blew me out of the water. It was GOOD and way better than the other one in my opinion.
Then, Chris tried his first ranch, Wingstop's.
Chris: Prominent flavor, thick consistency, and a taste that just feels special, like it was meticulously prepared by someone in a large cauldron, carefully measuring ingredients with the utmost precision. That's a long way of saying it was pretty perfect and it set a high bar.
Like, JUST LOOK AT THAT CLOSE UP, really observe the texture and seasoning — makes you want to lick the screen, huh?
Next up for Chris was Buffalo Wild Wings.
Chris: Unfortunately, the bar was so high that this poor ranch didn't stand much of a chance in comparison. Had I eaten this one first, I probably would've found it to be pretty good, but it seemed more liquidy and packed less of a punch than its adversary.
WINNER: WINGSTOP'S RANCH DRESSING
Unfortunately, this wasn't a very competitive battle, though we'd like to be clear, BWW has good ranch, Wingstop's is just THAT great!
