Comedian Tim Heidecker Takes Down Jonathan Cheban’s Gold Chicken Wings | Eater
"A bro‑centric New York City sports bar that served as the backdrop for a viral Food Insider video hawking $1,000‑a‑plate gold‑encrusted chicken wings. The ostentatious, Instagram‑friendly dish—favored by trust‑fund diners and driven by clickbait—generated both good and bad press and drew crowds despite being widely mocked as a passing fad; much of the attention came from spectacle and posed photos rather than culinary merit. The bar’s association with the trend even prompted comedian Tim Heidecker to lampoon the concept in a scathing song, using the wings as a symbol of excessive, performative food culture." - Greg Morabito
