The Wuhan coronavirus lockdowns have produced the spectacle of politicians unilaterally deciding what businesses are essential, what products these so-called essential businesses may sell, and -- now in New York -- which foods are considered "substantive" for purposes of selling alcohol.
In New York, as in many other states, bars are required to have food available as a condition for selling alcohol. But during the current lockdowns, Gov. Cuomo made a new rule requiring patrons to purchase a food item in order to purchase an alcoholic beverage. The requirement is reportedly aimed at reducing curbside boozing during the coronavirus pandemic.
Bars struggling to stay solvent during the lockdowns are now being told by the governor which of their food items are considered to be "substantive" foods and which are considered to be mere snacks. And according to the governor, chicken wings don't make the cut.
"To be a bar, you had to have food available - soups, sandwiches, etc. More than just hors d’oeuvres, chicken wings. You had to have some substantive food — the lowest level of substantive food were sandwiches," Cuomo said during a briefing on Thursday.

I remeber that ‘carrying over’ in New York State into the mid 50s(at least).
There was always an obligatory cheese sandwich in waxed paper in the bar area, which met the ‘food requirements’.
When Virginia introduced ‘booze’ in bars, the initial requirements were pretty stringent.
Had to had a ‘high’ percentage of FOOD, no ‘sit down’ bar, which had some owners cutting down some pretty nice bars and making them ‘service bars’ ... that law was changed in a couple of years and those that were wise enough to ‘wait’ were now able to get booze PLUS have a nice bar to serve from.
In today’s world, someone is missing the point as far as shutting down the bar part of bars/restaurants, as (from my not so casual observances) ‘strangers’ in a bar tend to ‘distance themselves’ and the regulars would be sitting SOMEPLACE shouting and ‘spittling’ in each other face.
My landlord (who has really proved what he is/was ever since PDJT elected and now with the beerflu) was visiting the other day and sitting across the room etc and mentioned that even at that distance spittle can travel and I was ‘wrong’ about the masks....
I not so politely told him that if he just wasn’t casually passing some data he knew where the door was AND what good is a mask if you are sneezing and hacking into it then inhaling the waste?, stir and cycle etc.
I then went into a ‘tirade’ about HIM touching gas pumps/nozzles, MY door knob, how do I know what kind of nasty Schiff he tracked in, does he burn his clothers before going into his house etc....
Fortunately, he doesn’t ‘visit’ all that often and I really can’t figure out why....<: <: <:
We considered chicken wings to be garbage — and we grew up in the poverty level for our area. Who can find meat on a chicken wing?

‘Round hyeah in these parts it has been said that the “Fraud Broad” never ceases to show her a$$.
Is there a compilation of her pandering?
Speaking of jobs, the unemployment rate is NYS is running at 14.5%, and I bet the rate is actually higher.
I defy anyone to find anything anywhere in the state’s enemedia taking Cuomo and the legislature to the woodshed over that stat.
So serve the wings on a throw away slice of bread.
Introducing the open face chicken wing sammy...
Don’t call them wings, just call them mini Chicken steaks or something, or serve them with a couple of rolls so you can create a “sandwich” out of them.
Who can find meat on a chicken wing?
ME! ME! ME!
Love me some chicken wangs...
NOW HE’S GONE TOO FAR!!!!!
the “emergency” in NY, even NYC, is over. This puke cannot simply order his subjects about.
These rulers forget the good government maxim of minimum rule, but of course they are Democrats, and like Charles I, they are born to rule! Foolish rules come from foolish rulers!
People of niagara, eh?
What’s the High School nickn ame?
The niagarrers?
Now he can tell me WHAT to eat to fulfill his personal mandate. Sick b******.
If you elect a democrat, you get a marxist control freak.
What else would one expect from Andrew Mussolini?
Chicken isn’t food?
I had 3 day old wings for dinner last night, and a root beer. Probably would’ve been more substantial with 6 beers but I’m off the sauce.
Just what we always knew about these nanny state liberals is now being exposed.
I assume you’re also consuming plenty of fats during the day?
Just protein leads to “rabbit starvation”.
Oh yes - I’m getting lots of bacon, hormone free whole milk, cheeses, etc.
Have you dropped body fat since beginning?
