Bling Bling Twitter

I'm in the process of revamping this whole thing, including a Twitter page. Check it out at http://twitter.com/BBChickenWing . I'm in Shreveport for business for the unforeseen future. I'm about to get real unhealthy with chicken wings. Updates, pictures, videos to come soon.

Wing Street Revisted: A Review




The delivery guy sounded like he had swine flu, so I was very suspicious to start. The cardboard package that the wings came in were damp so two things crossed my mind:

1. They've been sitting under a heat lamp.

2. They were so piping hot when they were put in there that the steam dampened the box.

I think they were in a heat lamp, were piping hot, dipped in the wing sauce, then put in the box.

On to the wings. My experience with "fast food" wings have been very negative. Places like Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa Johns etc usually do a half ass job. One main problem that they all have is that their wings are slimy. Now I'm not against sticky wings, the wing sauce should be thick enough to coat the wing. On the other hand, a molasses thick sauce is undesirable.

How do wings become slimy you ask? Well, the basic wing sauce starts out as a hot sauce mixed with melted butter. The sauce can be any type of hot sauce, Tabasco, Frank's Red Hot, Red Devil, you get my gist. The melted butter adds thickness that helps the sauce hold on the wings. I actually don't know why they become sticky, but whenever I see them, those wings scream "mass produced, artificially preserved wing sauce."

There is nothing wrong with flavors having a sticky factor, such as honey bbq. However I demand that my traditional hot wings with a cayenne pepper base not be overly sticky. These Buffalo Burnin' Hot Wings (14 of them) were just on the edge of being too sticky.



The spice was very good, I enjoyed the heat after I destroyed 14 wings. It was by no margin the hottest wings I've ever had, but they were a good hot and considering how wing deprived Fort Worth, Texas actually is, it is nice that decent wings can be delivered to your front door.

I would definitely recommend Buffalo Burnin' Hot from Pizza Hut/Wing Street. I just have a hard time thinking that the people putting the pizzas in the oven are also handy with a deep fryer for chicken wings.

Wing Street Part II

I religiously listen to Sports Radio 1310 The Ticket here in DFW. Wing Street has been flooding their ad time with spots starring Drew Cerza. Who is this Drew Cerza? I think I remember his name somehow being tied to a Buffalo Wing festival up in Buffalo, NY> I'm not sure, nor do I know why he is considered the Wing King. I'll let him have that title of Wing King. I'll take Wing Dictator, or perhaps Wing God, those both sound more powerful anyways. I'll figure out who this guy is, and why he thinks he knows anything about wings and get back to you all.

Also I'm a sucker for repeated advertising and I just ordered 14 of Pizza Hut/Wing Street's hottest wings.

Pictures and thoughts coming soon.
