Wingaddicts BLOG
We’ve long maintained that the word “best” is purely subjective and that ranking and rating chicken wings and wing restaurants is futile (and arrogant) because everybody has a valid opinion. However, reporting on what is “most popular” is fact based; like science. And today, I fancy myself a
Read MoreThat is the question. Scientists have discovered compelling evidence that suggests I may have been an actual Wingaddict long before I ever ate chicken wings. At the grocery store with my mother (and my two little brothers) I’d often get lost because I dropped anchor in the condiments aisle while mom kept
Read MoreThe "Central Wing Trail" is the third (and smallest) of the seven trails on the new CT Wing Trail. It includes eleven wing spots smack dab in the center of the state. Unique from the other CT Wing Trails, this one contains some very heavy hitters from Plainville and Southington only! You almost don't need a car as this entire trail is only ten...
Read MoreThe "Valley Wing Trail" is the fourth path on the new CT Wing Trail and arguably the greatest. It includes 14 wing spots rolling from Naugatuck all the way down through the famous "Valley" and into Milford. Four of these fourteen spots have already been featured on Wingaddicts RELAPSE episodes which places them in the CT Wing Hall of Fame and...
Read MoreAs we reflect back on the year 2022, our third full year at Wingaddicts, what a special year it was. In the spirit of all the “Year in Review” recaps we’ll all be forced to endure for the next week, I thought I’d beat them all to the punch! Indulge me!

Read MoreWe never wanted to get into the "rating" game when we started up Wingaddicts in February of 2020, understanding that all people have different likes and tastes AND all restaurants are doing their damndest to put out a quality product. However, we're human beings (shhh, don't tell my kids). It's natural that we're going to have our own personal like...
Read MoreYou wouldn’t order a burger from a Chinese restaurant. You wouldn’t go for pizza at a Mexican restaurant. You wouldn’t call Subway ask for barbecued brisket, and you wouldn’t go to a barbecue joint for a Caesar salad. So what about wings at a pizza joint?

The topic can be sports teams or athletes, movies or music, bourbon or beer, pizza or chicken wings. Hell, we can’t even agree on a president! Everybody thinks their opinion is the definitive word.
Read MoreThe year was 1982 and I was in my senior year at Newtown High School. Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowrey had recently moved to Ohio from Buffalo, New York. They were craving buffalo wings from home and came up with the idea to open their own wing joint. (The bastards didn't think to call ME!)
Read MoreBest Wings in Connecticut? If you had asked me last year at this time, who has the best wings in Connecticut I would have said J. Timothy’s, Archie Moore’s, Southford Lodge, Sliders, and TK’s (not necessarily in that order). That would have been my answer because, before this unforgettable year 2020, those were the ONLY places in CT I had ever orde...
