Like some chileheads (this IS the correct spelling, despite what some may say) out there, there is seldom a substitute for good chicken wings when you’re in the mood for them. Sometimes you don’t even need a good excuse…football game, family get-togethers, Bar Mitzvahs, etc.
Needless to say, we’ve patronized Buffalo Wild Wings (BW3) for quite a while. They are a national chain, so it’s fairly easy to find a local wing-ery (yes, it’s a new word) near where you live. Since moving to Ohio a few months ago, we must have crossed some imaginary line where their wings went from being fairly decent to total suck-age. We usually don’t bitch & moan too much like this, but lately it’s been bad. One one recent visit, Joe picked up a take out order of wings for dinner…Wild for Joe and Medium for Linda. Don’t know how they managed it, but the Mild was hotter and better-tasting than the Wild. In fact, our 3 year-old could have eaten the so-called Wild wings. On another visit, we opted to get the Blazin’. Finally, some heat…but this one tasted like they had added extract to it.
WTF? Are there teams of monkeys working in their kitchens or what??!
That, plus the fact that they have occasionally “forgotten” to include parts of our order has sent BW3 to the bottom of our list for wings. Redemption will be slow in coming, since there are way too many places here in Columbus (dare we say Quaker Stake & Lube?) to try before giving BW3 a chance again.
Freedom of Choice. Devo had it right a long time ago.

Now, i am in 100% agreement on this one. My passion, besides the love of my life (my wife of course) is good Hot Wings. There are some i love better than others. My personal favorite is a place in Greensboro, NC, believe it or not, Buffalo’s Bar and Grill. I can eat the heck out of their Hot Cuban wings, a recipe dreamed up by one of their employees. And no, no excuse is needed to partake in a wing fest. It’s thursday, let’s eat wings, a similar feeling i share with my other passion, Bass Fishing. Now, if one could find a way to combine thse two, i suspect one would be in Heaven. Now, i will offer a brief commercial (i know tacky as heck). You might want to visit our website and try what i feel are some of the best wing sauces made, Nate Dog’s Killer Wing Sauce. My favorite here are the Kickin. Check us out at All Spiced Up!

[…] For a chilehead, even the simple gastronomic pleasure of spicy chicken wings can be hard to find a good level of satisfaction. Now we’ve written about past frustrations with our local BW3 chain, but the recent TV onslaught of commercials about some new wing sauces gave us hope that we might try again…but just that we would make the wings ourselves and take their questionable preparation out of the equation. What follows is our experience using our spiffy new home deep-fryer… […]
