Wings 2 in Review

My wing tour of the Erie area was harder the second time around.  I hit most of the “big players” the first time, so this eight-week tour hit some smaller places.  Through readers’ and co-workers’ suggestions, I had, for the most part, good experiences. No location had all of my favorites, but I wanted to pick out which ones I really enjoyed.  In addition to the wings I chose in the last round, if I got to open my own wing joint, I would make sure to serve the following wings: 

BBQ – Titters 2, Brotherhood Of St. Joseph; Carolina Kickers, Avonia Tavern; Wyatt’s Wild Sauce, Doc Holliday’s; Honey BBQ Cajun, Country Tavern;

Hot – Hot, Kelly Hotel; Hot Pepper Parm, One Way Inn; Hubba Bubba, Doc Holliday’s; Buffalo Cajun, Country Tavern;

Dry – Garlic Parm Ranch,  Kelly Hotel ; Butter and Garlic, Country Tavern;

Honey Mustard – Titters 1, Brotherhood Of St. Joseph ; Maple Mustard, Beechwood Inn; Honey Mustard Horseradish, Country Tavern; 

Specialty – Sirrachi Kickers,  Kelly Hotel ; Thai Chili, Fat Willie’s Wing House;

Wing Preparation – Broiled Wings, Avonia Tavern;

Dipping Sauce – House Ranch, Brotherhood Of St. Joseph ; Avonia Tavern;

I would recommend all of the places that I visited.  Some places had some pretty high prices, but the wings they produced were still delicious.  A huge thanks to all of the cooks, servers, and bartenders along this wing tour.  Between the first wing tour and this one, I did not eat wings too often.  With roughly 300 wings ordered on each tour, that is pretty much my quota for the year.  I will be sure to visit most of these locations in the future, though.

With the holidays rapidly approaching, I am planning to leave the “tour theme” poll up for another week.  By next week, I will have the four locations up for voting.  Enjoy your holiday season.
