Typically this blog is dedicated to the criticism of Buffalo Wings and tales of frivolity from our youth (and other times when we were clearly "Too old for this shit"). But the TWBB crew have decided to dip into another pool of academia for which we are completely incapable: Child rearing. When my good friend and winger/poser blogger Andy Menchal announced to Milwaukee's wing squad that he was having a little boy, we were all touched. But it wasn't until our last wing experience, that I became completely taken with the whole thing. Andy had told me earlier that day that he was going to miss wing day for a ultrasound. Needless to say I was already emotionally charged about being a man down. He later informed me that he was in fact going to make it, bringing the mother of his child to be, and asked me if that was alright?? Bear in mind that normally you would have to report weeks in advance if you have a request of this nature, and then it has to be run through this entire bureaucratic entanglement. But I reminded Andy that he was also bringing another dude, a very little dude.
Being back in school I have actually been exposed to a number of pieces of literature on the topics of breastfeeding, child birthing, and other early mothering techniques. But I am frankly shocked to inform you, that I have not come across so much as a brochure on the effects pre-natal winging. Since we only have one baby to work with, some academics may refute this piece of research as conjecture, but I believe our findings will prove to be important. For our first test we visited Barnacle Buds (Now open in the winter months!). The team was myself, Menchal, Cortney, Lonnie, Big Mike (a new staple winger), and of course our guest who has yet to be named. Cortney informed me that we were actually at the point in her pregnancy (about 4-5 months) when their child could actually begin to taste foods. Despite my expertise, I was unaware of this fact. Never the less, this was perfect timing. The Buffalo wings to the adults were pretty good!! Though only offered in one variety on the menu, the staff allowed us to order them at various levels of spice. I think the chef took some creative license here, as no one batch of wings tasted quite like another. They were a solid unbreaded wing, and sauced heavily with a traditional Buffalo Sauce with an unconventional hint of sweetness. The mediums proved to be the best option. Not because the hots were too spicy, but because the medium I believe were probably the house recipe and best in flavor. As we discussed them, our new winger kicked in approval, and I'm not ashamed to say I was truly moved.
Totally unrelated (my typical transitional genius), we have discovered a top 5 level wing in Milwaukee. Leff's Luckytown in Wauwatosa satisfied a 10 man wing team early last month. We were unanimously enamored with their brand of "ass kickin" wing and pretty much every other flavor that they offered. The "Ass Kickin" (pictured above) was the hottest on the menu. While these were delicious, they are far too hot for one winger to take down an entire order without ruining his/her insides (and certainly the rest of the day). The wings are in fact breaded with a healthy amount of sauce and spice on the outside (a wing style highly favored by Adam Loeb). These will not disappoint. Major Goolsby.. Watch your back!!
