The closest Buffalo Wild Wings is in Chapel Hill.  Hardly worth going 15-20 miles away for chain wings.

ha, chain wings.  i didn't know it was possible to be a snob about wings.

If you combined FF and IGY you would have someone who nibbles on lobster while watching the "Little Black Book" on a tv at a chain bar that serves Coors Light and Jungle Juice.

one of the guys i work with started a website comparing wing places here in delaware.  He's more of a fat kid than me.  

BW3's wings are overrated in my book.

my kid has a monthly fund raiser through her school, it's called Market Day, you order all types of foods through the website and pick them up a week later.

they have wings, that are expensive, but are farging good.  they are spicy and big, much bigger than the ones you get from your local pizza shop.  i heart them.

i luv me some wings, i try them wherever i can.  i had BW3 wings in richmond before that were the best i ever had.  but i went to one in pittsburgh once and they sucked.  overall i think they're better than most places.

That might be the problem i have with BW3, the one in delaware where we always go seems to always have dry small wings.  I'll have to expand my horizons.

ice grillin you

wings are a top ten food if you can find a good one...but nine out of ten places have wings i cant eat...nothing is worse than wet wings and to many places have them...they gotta be crispy with the sauce built into them not poured over and puddled on the plate

luckily for me my local bar has close to the best ive ever had


all in all, this isn't a bad guideline when making choices.  does the mass market like this?  if yes, it's probably shtein.  you can occasionally go wrong, but given how stupid people are..and especially how stupid Americans are...avoiding what's popular will more often than not result in leaving you with better options.  it can't be followed strictly, but if something is very popular, it's a good bet that it farging sucks, is bad for you and other people, etc.

exactly...you dont avoid chains because they are popular you avoid them because all chains suck with food that orginates from the same place...sysco's freezers

you have to understand that hunt lives somewhere north of scranton and italian food to him IS olive garden and ribs are baby backs at chilis...ive never been known as a worldy or very smart person and i dont rpetend to be but christ hunt makes me look like charles kuralt
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

The Juan Valdez stand in the Wanamaker Building farged up my non-toasted poppy seed bagel with butter on 2 occasions.

The first time, they gave it to me & said they didn't have butter. I handed it back & said use cream cheese. He handed it back & said they are out of cream cheese. I handed it back & said give me my $1.10 back, then her got all pissy.

Today I asked for it non-toasted, then watched him put it in the toaster. He took it out & handed it to me without butter. I had to ask for butter & he tossed some butter pads on the counter for me.

I hate to sound like a little bitch but it is a farging bagel with butter, that's it. If you can't do that without farging up, then you need to jump in front of a bus.
