The Best Chicken Wings In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Classic bar stools. Faded wooden slatted floors. An old pool table and dart board, miscellaneous sports memorabilia, and a giant fish decorate the space like a frat house curated by the Craigslist “For Free” section. On the surface, Toons looks just like another dive bar. But what sets this Lakeview spot apart is its perfectly fried wings. They have a nice balance of crispy skin and tender meat, and are the ideal canvas for the different sauces. Both the garlic parm and standard Buffalo are delicious, but the garlic Buffalo is the ideal marriage of the two—zesty, tangy, and with just enough heat." - adrian kane, phaithe norman, john ringor
