Under the Wing-Fluence

Breaded or Naked?

Tommy, April 5 2021

Wings. Of course, we're talking about wings. It’s always interesting to get individual opinions when it comes to food, and especially when it comes to wings. Drums or flats? Fried or baked? smoked or grilled? Bleu cheese or ranch? Heat or no? The answer to all of these questions, of course, is “YES!” But the question I’d like you to ponder is do yo...

To Hab and Hab Not

Tommy, March 28 2021

Once upon a time, little Tommy was a traditional buffalo wing eater. He’d enjoy his buffalo wings at medium-high heat, and dip them in bleu cheese. He loved that buffalo bleu flavor so much, he slathered the stuff all over his potatoes, or rice, or whatever was on the menu at home. In fact, little entrepreneur Tommy thought about producing and bott...

25 Wings You've Never Had

Tommy, March 14 2021

The Wingaddicts crazy list of Connecticut restaurants, wings consumed, and flavors experienced is reaching ridiculous levels. We wish we we could make these wings pop right off the computer and onto a plate for you. But the fact is, you need to take a trip and go eat these! Most normal human beings don’t go into a restaurant and order six, seven, o...

Is Naugy the Wing Capital?

Tommy, February 28 2021

We 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...

Pizza Joint Wings? Yes or No?

Tommy, February 15 2021

You 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? I personally order all my pizza from pizza joints. Always.

Got Flavored Wings?

Tommy, February 8 2021

In 1964 at the famous Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY, legend has it that the buffalo wing was born. Since then, Louisiana hot sauce and butter mixed together have become a flavor called “buffalo” and most people in the world know that flavor instantly. Dipping buffalo wings into bleu cheese became such a phenomenon that some genius finally figured out...

THE Best Wings. Hands Down.

Tommy, February 1 2021

When you’re part of any enthusiasts group, especially on social media, you hear it all the time; “XYZ is the BEST! Hands down! End of story! Period!" 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.

Wings are Super Healthy!

Tommy, January 25 2021

Over the next two weeks, Americans will consume over 3 billion pounds of chicken wings. Okay, I just made that up. But it’s a fact that Super Bowl week is for sure the biggest wing week of the year for restaurants and grocery stores in the United States. While I’m no health and wellness advocate (I could personally live forever on wings, ribeye ste...
