I think Quaker Steak and Lube is a Western PA and Eastern Ohio thing... Quite popular in that area... At least my friends from western PA all have heard of it... But the same can't be said for friends on the east...
But they have recently opened one in State College - the home of the Nittany Lions (go Lions!!!)... And there is one along I80 on the way to NYC... Right by one of the exit.. Can't recall the exit number or the town name... But u can't miss it... Big green arrow... Been to the one in Sharon... It is a very small place and kinda out of place too... But it is the place where it all begun... Oh, and if u are one of those snowbirds, try the one at Clearwater FLA...

I second the Quaker Steak and Lube suggestion. GREAT friggin' wings. I consider myself lucky to have a Quaker Steak and Lube about 5 miles from me. I've yet to find better anywhere.
Try their Golden Garlic wings. Bliss. Edit to add: Just went to their website and had no idea they had so many locations. Thought they were strictly a PA thing. |
My condolences to anyone who has the occasion to travel to Evansville, IN (EVV)...if you do, however, and are in need of a wing fix, check out
Nick's Pizza & Wings next to Showplace Cinemas East... Not the 'best' chicken wings, but pretty damn good. They go great with an $8 bucket of 5 domestics on a Sunday afternoon! :cool: One caveat...unless requested, I believe they are served with ranch :td: but at least the wings themselves are pretty traditional! |
I went to Whole Foods and bought some fresh chicken wings and tossed them in Franks Redhot sauce then baked for 45 minutes, then toss them again in the Frank's and BY FAR these were the best wings I had. So juicy and LOTS of meat.

Wow...
Tough one. I've NEVER had good wings anywhere outside of the greater Buffalo area. They suck even only an hour away in Rochester. Very true. A few years ago my parents were having dinner at a restaurant in Singapore. On the menu were Buffalo Wings, so when the waiter asked my parents where they were from, my father pointed to the "Buffalo Wing" menu item and told him, "Buffalo, NY" and mentioned something about where the wing recipe originated. The waiter was completely confused even after my father tried to clarify (probably more so after my father tried to clarify). Apparently the waiter assumed the "wings" came from a buffalo. :eek: My father finally gave up and said, "Niagara Falls" The waiter was satisfied with that. :p |

To be honest, when I first heard of Buffalo Wings, I thought they were made with Buffalo Meat.......only to realize Buffalos don't have wings. :rolleyes:

Jefferson's in Lawrence, Kan., has great wings.
Don't be fooled by the Wing Dome in Seattle -- they're not good and the wings are always small. |
Here's my orginal recipe, I call it "Fire in da Hole" .. no pun intended..
2LBS OF WINGS LAY FLAT ON A FOILED 9X10 PAN IN A BOWL MIX THE FOLLOWING 1/2 TSP OREGANO, BASIL 1 1/2 TBSP GARLIC POWDER CHILI POWDER, CELANTRO 1 TBSP SALT & PEPPER 8 TBSP OF HOT OIL <-- House of Tsang's MIX WELL IN BOWL, THEN BY HAND SPRINKLE ALL OVER THE WINGS. COOK IN A 375 OVEN FOR 45 MINS. REMOVE FROM OVEN GENTLEY DRAINS THE EXCESS LIQUID FROM THE PAN. RE ARRANGE THE WINGS IN THE PAN, THEN POUR MILD OR HOT ( Durkee - Red HOt with Chili and Lime) SAUCE OVER THE WINGS, THEN PUT BACK IN OVEN FOR 20 MINS. REMOVE FROM OVEN LET STAND FOR 5MINS, PLCE IN A LARGE BOWL OR PLATTER AND GARNISH WITH CELANTRO DON'T FORGET THE BLEAU CHEESE FOR DIPPING, AND IF YOU WANT YOU CAN SPOON SOME OF THE SAUCE FROM THE PAN OVER THE WINGS AFTER PLACING THEM IN THE BOWL OR PLATTER. Sorry for the CAPs :( |
Wings n' Things in ANC.
Been around since 83' a nice local joint, kina "hole in the wall", but real good and spicy, especially the "nuke" one. |
We celebrated BamaVol Jr's birthday last week. As he was now visiting from a somewhat distant location, his dinner request was from a local wing joint that he used to frequent. He and his wife gave me a list of 4 flavors. I had no idea the place had something like 50 possible flavors. 2 were pretty standard: teriyaki and honey mustard. The other 2 were unknown to me, but tasted fine: Plum and Bacon Alfredo.
