As reported by the Wingdom™
THERE I WAS CRUISIN DOWN Memory Lane, actually Ewing Dr, peepin on OG Princes when Ho, What Dis, but a Strikeout Wingz! I'd heard of SOWz but never pilgrimaged south to try, and now they've repurposed/same-purposed this former fried chicken mecca? Only a few minutes from my domicile? On eWING Drive?? The only more appropriate street name would be a megachurch on Escam Dr am I right people okay I'll see myself out.
SO I CALL EM AND tell the man I WANT WIIIIIINGS and he says "that's what's up" and I order 15 with the "Strikeout". FOTW™ Z orders 15 "hot". Both extra crispy. I always say "if that's a thing" even though I know darn tootin it is a thing and SOWz passes the test cause he says "yeah that's a thing."
PULLING UP TO PRINCE'S triggered nostalgia, walking in to the newly-painted bright red, crisply clean Wingery summoned joy-tears, and my Wingspectations™ soared. I tell the cashier I called in, she scans through the names, and asks the nearby shopkeep, is this Dude? Yeah, he chuckles. Since I never gave a name he plugged me in as Dude. Into it. When the Wings come out, he opens the container to present the product, connoting a mafia-like transaction. Into it. After a minor hiccup of FOTW™ receiving the Sweet & Sassy (seemingly their signature sauce) instead of hot, quickly remedied, we were on our way.
THE WINGS ARE FRIED PERFECTLY, crispy (even after 10 minutes in styrofoam), steaming moist white chicken, sauced the way the Wingdom™ demands. Into it. And then: strikeout sauce struck me! It real. It hot. It real hot. However, I fear the heat is from extract, which masks flavor. While I was happily tortured, I have questions, like, this is extract, right? Will I ever taste again? Why was no cooling bleu cheese provided? Thankfully I had some BC but unthankfully, I didn't have much. I made it through 11/15. Safely can report that these are the best trad Buffalo Wings I've had in Nashville, but would love to experience something between hot and Strikeout that is more flavorful and less pure pain. If the Strikeout is NOT extract, what is it?
WE'LL DEFINITELY BE BACK, and are psyched about a top notch Wingery so close, wanna try the Sweet n Sassy, and wanna know if I've falsely accused them of the dreaded Extract Wingfraction™.
ALL IN ALL: four two-boners and one one-boner (9/10)
PRICE POINT: 15/$15.95 comes w fries which were good
