"The wings at Tommy Want Wingy have developed an intense following in Austin, with people clamoring for the crispy, frenched chicken. There’s no debate about flats vs. drums here—all the wings start as a drumette before being cleaned into a lollipop with a little bone handle. Yes, they make you feel like a giant snacking on drumsticks. But they’re also crispy, well-seasoned, and easy to eat. Find the trailer parked on the patio of Barton Springs Saloon, which is also conveniently an excellent cold, dark, and cheap place to grab a drink." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"The wings at Tommy Want Wingy have developed an almost cult-like following in Austin, with people clamoring for their distinct, frenched chicken wings. There’s no debate about flats vs. drums here—all the wings start as a drumette before being cleaned into a lollipop-like shape with a little bone handle. It makes them easy to eat, which probably comes in handy when you’ve got the munchies after a long night out. There are two locations: one at Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden, the other at Barton Springs Saloon on South Lamar." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"The chicken lollipops at all three locations of the Tommy Boy-inspired trailer arrive alongside sauces like spicy pineapple and Holy Schnikes. There’s this location at Cosmic Coffee in the Dawson neighborhood, one on South First, and the other at Barton Springs Saloon. Takeout orders can be placed online; most locations feature indoor and outdoor dining areas." - Nadia Chaudhury

"A chicken-wing truck that moved into a McKinney neighborhood location previously occupied by a slice-focused pizza truck. It replaced the former slice truck at the Radio/East spot as of early October and continues to operate as a mobile wing-focused vendor." - Nadia Chaudhury
