And like I 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: said in the post, that was the great tragedy of 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: the whole event. You there was ice cream at the 24 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: Chicken Wing Festival. Was it like blue cheese flavored? You know, 25 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: I'll never know, Oh man, see tragedy, tragedy. Um. But yes, 26 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: it is about time for the big game. You know 27 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Yeah, as as we as we 28 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: record this, it's coming up the house stuff works game night. 29 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: Actually you know I'm both joking, but that's also we 30 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: are a big wing office here. A lot of people 31 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: really love their chicken wings. Atlanta is a really big 32 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: wing town. Yes, we're gonna yeah, we're gonna talk about that. Um. 33 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: And like I mentioned in our our Ranch episode with 34 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: Ben Bowling, we the first food stuff video we did 35 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: was on chicken wings, and it was for this big game. 36 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: That is of the football variety. We can say it. 37 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: We can say the words super Bowl. I know they 38 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: knock on the door football jail. Well it's here in Atlanta, 39 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: so this year, that's right, So they can come find 40 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: us if they want. Don't give them any ideas. I So, okay, 41 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: you guys are pretty into chicken wings. I will say 42 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: I am into them now, but they're not my favorite 43 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: food by far. Like I would rather eat most other 44 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: foods before I would eat a chicken wing. And this 45 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: stems back to the seventh grade. In science lab, I 46 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: had to dissect a chicken wing and I was so 47 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: upset about it. Not because I was like it was 48 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: just gross. It was just really gross and I didn't 49 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: like it, and I refused to eat chicken wings for 50 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: at least a decade afterwards. Wow, a lasting impact, really did. 51 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: It was so squidgy. I seriously don't like working with 52 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: raw meat. That doesn't sound healthy as I mean, like 53 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: a health hazard as well if you're dissecting. Yeah, I 54 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: think it's less of a health hazard than a frog. 55 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: I've never heard of anybody dissecting a chicken wing. It's 56 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: apparently popular. When I was looking. When I was googling 57 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: various things for this at the chicken wing dissection project 58 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: came up and like a lot of my results, mhm, 59 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: I did a frog and a cat and an owl. Pillet, 60 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: that's the one that made me vomit. He did a 61 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: baby pig. Oh really? Yeah. I took a zoology class 62 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: in high school and we did pretty much everything but 63 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: with no chicken wings. Um, jellyfish and a bunch of 64 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: other stuff. If you're going to like jellyfish and baby pigs, 65 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: you don't really need the chicken wing. Like you're you're 66 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: basically a more advanced god. Just the nerves running. Oh 67 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm not happy about it anyway. I can't wait till 68 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: we talk about how delicious they are. And I did 69 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: want to include this quote at the top, A blue 70 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: collar dish for a blue car town. And we will 71 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: talk about what down that is. Even though you probably 72 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: most definitely hit a little bit. Let's let's build some 73 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: suspense here. Yeah, and talking about suspense our question. Chicken wings? 74 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: What are they? Well up, They're the wings of chickens. 75 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: There you go. You had it hair first, folks, Uh, No, 76 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: one Americans say chicken wing. We usually have a very 77 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: specific dish in mind. It's a wing with the bony 78 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: tip removed and then split at the elbow joint into 79 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: a winget or flat the forewing, and a drummet or 80 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: drum the upper wing. The pieces are then deep fried 81 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: and coated in some kind of savory, sweet, spicy sauce, 82 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: the result being like a handheld snack sized food with 83 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,239 Speaker 1: an optimally crispy, crunchy skin on the outside. And tender, 84 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: fatty meat on the inside. It can be served as 85 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: an appetizer, main dish, or side with a usually a 86 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: creamy dip, blue cheese or ranch, often with raw celery 87 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: and carrot sticks alongside. And those sauces that you can 88 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: serve a chicken wing with our legion. I think the 89 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: most common are probably a buffalo being butter and hot 90 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: sauce hot sauce here meaning a thin sauce made with 91 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: vinegar and period hot peppers, and then barbecue sauce lemon 92 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: pepper and tarayak rubs can also be applied instead of 93 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: a sauce, like Jork style for example. And trends come 94 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: and go right now, I think with the rise of 95 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: Korean cuisine in the United States, Korean style barbecue sauces 96 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: are just everything in quotation marks. Yet no those are 97 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: rising in popularity. I've seen those at a lot of 98 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: menus I have, and this is related, So go with 99 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: me on this trip. I have a plethora of Katie's 100 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: in my life. I have a lot of friends named Katie, 101 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: and like not only friends, but like best friends, and 102 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: all of them don't like spicy food, like not even 103 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: I remember for one of them. We would go to 104 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: Daxbies after school sometimes and my mom would she would 105 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: we would have to get whimpy sauce because my friend 106 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: couldn't have anything above whimpy. And every time I hang 107 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: out with their two katies in particular, I'm thinking of 108 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: they're the ones that want buffalo wings. But a lot 109 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: of restaurants in Atlanta have a very fun naming system. Yes, 110 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: and so it's buffalo uh wild buffalo wacky buffalo fun style, 111 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: Like there's no way of knowing which one is the 112 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: spicy one. There's no system like with Zaxby's. I can 113 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: tell um. So we usually like fail every time, and 114 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: I just end up eating the chicken wings and we 115 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: have to order something else too. So I would love 116 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: a like, you know, dot like the chili peppers something, 117 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: because I'm just like shooting the dark and missing. You 118 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: could ask the server. That would require speaking to some 119 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: actual telephone. Oh man, all right, well, I understand, thank you, 120 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: and I almost believe that you're not doing it on 121 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: purpose so that you can just eat a lot of 122 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: chicken wings by yourself. Thank you Lord. Well, regardless, recipes 123 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: for creating said wings differ. Some folks, like a little 124 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: bit of breading flour or corn starch. You can bake 125 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: them or grill them instead of frying. My favorite wings 126 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: are smoked before being fried. The double fries considered scientifically 127 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: superior by some More on that later on. Uh And 128 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: lots of restaurants do use pre processed wings, like they've 129 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: already been seasoned and battered and par fried at a 130 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: plant and then a quick frozen and chipped out to 131 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: restaurants that just kind of refry them real quick. Nutrition wise, 132 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: it's fried chicken. Yeah. My favorite recipes um that I'm 133 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: in is a healthy one and I know it's three 134 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: hundred calories for ten wings. That's not bad. That's what 135 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: I usually make for the Super Bowl because, as I 136 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: said in the Ranch episode, I don't watch it, but 137 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: I make all the food associated with it and have 138 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: a great time. Yeah. I mean they're they're high in protein, 139 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: Like that's not gonna be a little bit if that's 140 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: not gonna kill you. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it 141 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: varies wildly and widely depending on and yeah, like the 142 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: sauce can have a lot of sugar in it. It's 143 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: it's yeah, my legit will vary. M H. Typically what 144 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: I'll do is I do like a dry brine and 145 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: let them sit for a day or so and then 146 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: put them in the oven at a high heat and 147 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: just cook them off that way and then makes like 148 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: a little sauce like buffalo sauce or depending on taryaki style. 149 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: And um, I grew up in Southeast Asia, so I 150 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: have a lot of Asian influences and my sauces and 151 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: all that stuff that I like to use, and so 152 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: I'll do that a lot, or you know, whatever I 153 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: have in the kitchen that can whip up pretty easily. 154 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: You know, we we didn't say why we asked you 155 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: to come on this episode. No, I'm still curious why 156 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: because you requested it over a year ago. We have 157 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: on our idea sheet chicken wings, Ramsey, and you're just 158 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: you're a big connoisseur. So I do like the wing. 159 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: And you have had my wings before at game night 160 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: when I had people over from work on my house. 161 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: That's right, they were I don't think I had any 162 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: of those wings because when I came back from the 163 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: kitchen they were gone. It wasn't which is a good 164 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: sign that something good was presented. Yes, absolutely, yes, And 165 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: I promised it wasn't just me. So if we talk 166 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: about some chicken wing numbers every years, here's what we 167 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: hear about an impending wing shortage around the time of 168 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Apparently this is less a shortage and 169 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: more of a price increase due to supply and demand. 170 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: And estimated one point three billion wings are consumed over 171 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: Super Bowl weekend in the United States and that number 172 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: is growing year over year by like ten to forty 173 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: million wings. Yeah, um, and y'all that's just over one weekend. 174 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: One meat industry agency estimated that Americans eat twenty eight 175 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: billion wing segments like drums and flats every year. It's 176 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: a lot of chickens. Yeah yeah, Hooters, Hooters. I read 177 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: that and it was like, wait a minute, no, this 178 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: is in our notes. Hooters cells thirty million pounds a year. 179 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: There was a chicken wing heist what in our home 180 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: state of Georgia a couple of years ago before the 181 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and the stolen goods were worth sixty five 182 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. I love, I love a food heist. Food heist. 183 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: That needs to be a movie. Spielberg. If you're listening, 184 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: there you go, that's your next one. Sponsored by Hooters. 185 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean it's already there. Oh yeah. Um. 186 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: Chicken wings are a pretty frequent competitive eating food. The 187 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: current Wing Bowl record, which is a yearly competition in 188 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: Philly consisting of two rounds of fourteen minutes each um, 189 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: is five hundred and one wings in those twenty eight minutes. 190 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: That puts my twenty eight in perspective. Yeah, this was 191 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: accomplished in by one Molly uh Shooliar Skylar. According to 192 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: the Hamilton sound check, that would be Skylar because that's 193 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: how they spell the Skylar last name, the Skylar's sisters. 194 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: It's a whole song. I believe you entirely. Thank you. 195 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: There's a lot of belief coming your I like it. 196 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. Meanwhile, the Guinness World Record for 197 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: largest chicken wing eating competition overall is from when Amazon 198 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: Web Services included two hundred and fourteen participants. Amazon Web 199 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: Services Jeff Bezos uh making the chicken wing wing competitions happen. 200 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: Who knew, not me? Not strictly related to eating. The 201 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: Guinness record for the most items taken out of hot 202 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: oil with bare hands in one minute went to Contree 203 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: chun In. They pulled twelve chicken wings out of a fryer, 204 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: but their bare hands. Yeah, why would you do that? 205 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: I to get the record clearly it was for an 206 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: Italian game show. Uh, I'm not sure. Other than that, Like, psychologically, 207 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: I can't answer that question. The story is getting more 208 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: and more fun. Um. If we look away from the 209 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: wing and at the flavor of buffalo, you can get 210 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: buffalo flavored almost anything. Oh yeah, um, and you can 211 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: get every flavor of buffalo wing. It sounds like it 212 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: should be some kind of like physics property. But I 213 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: mean hot sauce is delicious and butter is also delicious 214 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: when you combine them. A thing that I have a 215 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: really hard time not ordering when I see it on 216 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: a restaurant menu is um, buffalo grilled chicken sandwiches. Yeah, 217 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: if that's on there, in Bass guaranteed to order it. 218 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: There was a good portion of when I say good portion, 219 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: probably about like three to four years, where I would 220 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: if I could get something buffalo style, I would totally 221 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: do that. That's it. And this was when I became 222 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: I guess more food conscious, like where my food is 223 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: coming from and were source and all that. I was like, hey, 224 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: can I just get that grilled, but get buffalo sauce 225 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: tossed on it. Yeah, Like I was just like, you know, 226 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: I kind of healthy but not really. Yeah, I think spicy. 227 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: I think I told this story once on this show, 228 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: but um, in case I didn't. There's an establishment that's 229 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: well known in Atlantic called the Vortex, and it's a 230 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: burger place, and I went on a first date there 231 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: and I've made two major mistakes. One, I was wearing 232 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: a white shirt no matter what you get at the Vortex. Yeah, 233 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: for me, wearing a white shirt general, that's not a 234 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: part of lifestyle. And then the second mistake I made 235 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: was order the triple bypass that comes with a cigarette. 236 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,599 Speaker 1: I know I did not make that mistake making me 237 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: feel better about myself though I ordered the buffalo sauceburger 238 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: and I mean within a second, just drivel down all 239 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: the white shirt. Yeah. We never had a second date, 240 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: but I don't think that's why it might have played 241 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: into it. I probably would have ordered the same thing. 242 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: Here's one speaking of ordering. Um, okay, do you guys 243 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: have an opinion about drums versus flats? And which is better? Oh? 244 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: I do? What what's yours? Because there's a big bait 245 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: about this, Yes there is. I like drums. I do too, 246 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: but I feel like most people like flats. I like 247 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: drums as well. Three man, that's crazy, producer Andrew Yeah. 248 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: Four heck y'all. This is rare because most people prefer flats. 249 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: Both sides claim that their preferred wing piece has the 250 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: best ratio of skin to meat, too fat to sauce, 251 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: and that it is also easier to eat than the 252 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: other type. Oh and that second one is subjective, clearly. Um. 253 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: But like, for the record, there is more meat on 254 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: a drum and more like skin fat sauce on a flat. Well, 255 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: I like I like the drums mainly because I feel 256 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: like I don't have to work as much as I 257 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: do with the flats because of the parts of the 258 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: bones that are associated with that. Um. Now, like the 259 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: solution would obviously be just eat boneless chicken wings, which 260 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: I actually like the experience of eating chicken wings. Like 261 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: it's like it's like that finger food that you can 262 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: go to that you know what you're gonna get, Like 263 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: you have some sort of beverage with you, and you're 264 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: got your sauce, and you got your dipping sauce, and 265 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: then you got your your vegetables that go along with 266 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: But so I like the experience. But if I were 267 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: to be able to order just drums, I would definitely 268 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: go that we're out, because I think it's a little 269 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: bit easier. Yeah, you're not really getting into the bone. Yeah, 270 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: you're not digging at it with your haus just as 271 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: much as yeah, I feel like a trash panda whenever 272 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: I eat wings in general. But more so I eat 273 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: in general I feel But I will say I have 274 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: had wings that were like not at a at a 275 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: restaurant for you know, twenty wings for ten bucks, but 276 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: like um from a well known farm in Georgia, and 277 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: they had a lot more meat on them. And I 278 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: enjoyed that experience a lot more because it was less 279 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: like I'm already at the bone barely biting anything off. 280 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: It was like, this is a lot of meat and 281 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: also um. One of our coworkers, Paul, he won't eat 282 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: chicken wings because he doesn't like the experience of like 283 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: having to work. Yeah. I have a good friend Stephanie 284 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: who has that same experience. She's she's like, I will 285 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: not eat because it just says I want to touch 286 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: that bone. Oh yeah, Oh no, I like feeling like 287 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: a trash panda. I'm a fan. I actually got made 288 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: fun of an middle school because my mom used to 289 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: send fried chicken like a one drumstick with me to 290 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: school for lunch and I would get all of the 291 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: meat off and people would look at me as if 292 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: I was some sort of monster. I don't waste anything, okay, 293 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: And sales of chicken wings have been more than fair. 294 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: They have gone upwards of billions of dollars. A year 295 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: in the number of chicken wing franchises came out to 296 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: over fifteen hundred, and that number has grown by an 297 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: annual eleven percent over the past decade, and other franchises, 298 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: just just so you can compare, the growth is around 299 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: three percent. The same year, the top thirteen wing franchises 300 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: made four point one billion dollars, and if you look 301 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: specifically at Buffalo Wild Wings, which I have never been to, 302 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: um they made one point three billion dollars and their 303 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: sales have gone up by nine hundred thirty six percent 304 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,239 Speaker 1: over the last ten years. In the US, wings are 305 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: now the most expensive part of the chicken, but for 306 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: most of history that has not been the case. It's 307 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: apparently a really volatile market when when they're cheap, restaurants 308 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: offer such like lost Leader deals on them that it 309 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: inflates demand and the cost balloons. Apparently, when when McDonald's 310 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: rolled out one of their wing deals in it disrupted 311 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: the entire industry, it was chicken wing chaos, not chicken 312 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: wing chaos. Nonetheless. Yeah, wings are fairly inexpensive food, except 313 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: when they're not. Of course. Back in honor of Super 314 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: Bowl forty nine, a Manhattan restaurant called Old Homestead Steakhouse 315 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: served a dozen wings for four thousand, nine hundred dollars 316 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: oh um. Each order came with four flavors uh covered 317 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: in for gras or smothered in cream infused with a 318 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: Louis The eighth cognac or coated with caviar. The fourth 319 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: flavor was Kobe filet mignon on the bone marinated in 320 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: sake that costs like a thousand bucks a bottle. Oh 321 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: my goodness, this is a life we will never know. Yeah, 322 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: stunt for yourself, you're on the right, myself to your 323 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: shooting star. I mean, on a personal note, that does 324 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: not sound a good way to eat a chicken wing 325 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: to me. So it just sounds like over indulgence, Like 326 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: what can I dip this wing in to make it 327 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: more expensive? Yeah, at least those like powdered gold coated 328 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: wings that we talked about in our Edible Gold episode. 329 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: At least those like like it's not going to impact 330 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: the flavor too much and like you get a fun 331 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: Instagram photo. I don't know. These looked gross, Like they 332 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: looked so gross that I almost said to all of 333 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: the people sitting around me here in our office, like, oh, Scott, 334 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: check out this gross thing. But then they looked so 335 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: gross that I felt bad doing it. WHOA, that's saying 336 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: something that is Yeah, but chicken wings are one of 337 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 1: those really interesting foods that come from this kind of 338 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: like low brow conception that do get kind of celebrated 339 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: in a highbrow cuisine. Yeah. And you, you Ramsey sent 340 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: along an essay that you found and it came out 341 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: pretty recently, didn't it. Yeah, it came out came out 342 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: this week. Um. Actually, our our co worker Pam sent 343 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: it over to me. She knew I was coming on 344 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: here because I was nervous about being on the show 345 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: and I am. You know, she sent it over to 346 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: me and I was taking a look at it and 347 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: basically it was written by Erica Hawkins for Munchie's on 348 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: Vice called Chicken wings Are My Culture. And it was 349 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: really interesting because you know, it's not really necessarily something 350 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: I really ever thought about too much, but it talks 351 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: about how wing culture as mixed in with like black 352 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: stereotypes and all that, and it talks about a little 353 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: bit about the low and high end culture of wings, 354 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: which I, you know, outside the article have personal opinions 355 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: because I feel that is definitely wings or for the people, 356 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: and you know, some restaurants have definitely increased the value 357 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: of the wing um as high ticket items or you 358 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: can't go and spend you know, five to ten bucks 359 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: on a plate of wings. You know, it's it's like, oh, 360 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: here's three wings for fifteen dollars. I'm like, wow, that's 361 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: pretty expensive. But I digress. Anyway, in the article, she 362 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: definitely brought up like the culture and how's associated with 363 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: with black stereotypes and it being a like a cheap 364 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: food source. And she quoted um Claire Schmidt, who was 365 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: a presfessor at the University of Maryland who does studies 366 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: on race and folklore, and she said, like chickens were 367 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,959 Speaker 1: always been a part of Southern diets, and they had 368 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: a particular utility with slaves, and they were cheap food 369 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 1: source and they were um easy to feed and a 370 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: good source of meat. And as it being a food 371 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: that you eat with your hands, it was also therefore 372 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: always considered dirty and table manners are a way of 373 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: kind of determining who is worthy of respect or not. Yeah, 374 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: we kind of talked a little bit about that in 375 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: our Fried Chicken episode. Yeah, like the trajectory of chicken 376 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: um from being a food considered not good enough for 377 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: upper class people to eat, to this thing that like 378 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: in a reverse way, like held up as as a 379 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: champion of the people by these very upper class humans. 380 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: Well that's the thing in this article. And I am 381 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: someone who is very um out of the loop. I 382 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: will admit it of celebrity culture, but um, it came 383 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: with examples of I would say, celebrities who are generally 384 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: out of touch, or if not out of touch, then 385 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: they just live a different lifestyle than most of us 386 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: eating chicken wings. It's a way to say like, hey, yeah, um, 387 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: it's just and interesting phenomena. Well, yeah, she definitely brought it. 388 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: I think she said like celebrity. These are normalized by 389 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: eating chicken wings and stuff. And you know, you can 390 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 1: take that either way you want, whether it's you know, 391 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: cultural appropriation or or what. But I mean it's you know, definitely, 392 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm right there. I'm the same loop as you. 393 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: I was like, wow, I didn't know this was a thing, 394 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: especially when people are dipping them in gold and sprinkle 395 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: them in with k gold dust and then eating them 396 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: like it's you know whatever. You know, it's definitely definitely 397 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: the food for our thoughts. Well, it is a trend 398 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: that I would say we're seeing in a lot of places. 399 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: It's just this going to a restaurant and ordering a 400 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: burger that says it has government cheese on it and yeah, 401 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: that's eighteen dollars. I think it's just happening in a 402 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: lot of places, but uh, this is a particular it 403 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: seems to be very popular right now, chicken wings. And 404 00:23:53,240 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: we even said at that wing fest, what's happening to chicken? Well, 405 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm all about experimentation and you know, trying 406 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 1: new recipes. You like, you said, you grew up in Parks, Basia, 407 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: so you have experience with other types of Yeah, My 408 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: first membrance of chicken wings was um. So we spent 409 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: a year in Naigoya, Japan, and they have a style 410 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: they're called tapasaki um and basically what that is it's 411 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: a dry brind with black pepper um. Usually probably keep 412 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: it in there like in a when I say Brian, 413 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: basically you're doing some sort of science with the chicken, 414 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: pull out some moisture from it. Yeah, and I do 415 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: a lot of my foods like that, with like my turkeys. 416 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: I think I told you I dried Brian my turkey 417 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: this year for Thanksgiving. And basically what you do is 418 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: you put a bunch of salt on it, then you 419 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: put whatever spices you want on it, and then that 420 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: those spices are then sucked into the meat through like 421 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: a sauce Moses. And then how that differs from just 422 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: like a regular Brian where you use liquids um, Basically, 423 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: the the spices are stayed stay inside the meat instead 424 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: of it going in and out of the meat through 425 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: a wet Brian. I guess you could say, yeah, definitely anyway, Yeah, 426 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: so this style is basically is black peppered Brian for 427 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: a bit and then they fry it once on a 428 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: lower temperature than they fry it again at a higher 429 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: temperature and then they put like a sweet and spicy 430 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: sauce on it. But um, that was my first experience, 431 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: um of for chicken wings, which was delous. And it's 432 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: such like I tried that recipe um that I pulled 433 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: a lot of that information from was actually a recipe 434 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: I treated my folks once where I recreated that whole 435 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: wings set up. And it is a process just because 436 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: of how how you have if you have to deep 437 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: fry something twice, the temperature gauging and all that type stuff, 438 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: and especially when you're brinding something, you know, the but 439 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: it was it was definitely a treat for all of 440 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: us to recreate um. But science wise, that's how you're 441 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: supposed to do it from what I have read, and 442 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: I'll get into that later. But um, but I did 443 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: also want to point out that, yeah, yeah, I mean, 444 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: like America is far from the only place that cooks 445 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: and eats chicken wings. Um. I ran across a bunch 446 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: of Southeast Asian style wing recipes that are deboned wings 447 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: stuffed with like basically the things that you would put 448 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: into dumplings or spring rolls, ground pork noodles made of 449 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: being a rice flour chapped vegetable, stuff like that, and 450 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: then deep fried obviously obviously sounds delicious. Deep frying is 451 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: what brings us all together. Really well, we had that 452 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: terrible I guess it worked out. Okay, it did. We 453 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 1: only screamed a little bit. Oh yeah, you guys try 454 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: to break the world record for record for being the 455 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: most afraid of frying chicken. Yes, I think we want 456 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: from when you guys started, right, Yeah, yeah, we we 457 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: made a video where we fried some chicken and both 458 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: of us were very apprehensive and it showed that was 459 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: like right when I started working here, and it was 460 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: like one of the greatest days because you guys brought 461 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 1: in fried chicken and champagne. Oh yeah, I did do that. 462 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: I was like, whoa happens that work here? Behind the 463 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: scenes of that event. So our office manager at the time, 464 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: she still works here, but she is now not office manager, um, 465 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: but Tamika. She sent out an email saying, Okay, people 466 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: who made these videos, because we had to make these 467 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: eight videos for Amazon, UM, we're gonna show the video. 468 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: Please request a food item that you would like for 469 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: this series because we're gonna have like a group like 470 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: a group lunch and viewing.

Of course, 496 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: there are multiple versions of this story, but here's the 497 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: one that you'll see the most that you can probably 498 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: have heard, at least in passing one time, late one 499 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: night in n four, looking for something to cook her 500 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: son and his friends, the co owner of the Anchor 501 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: Bar in Buffalo, New York, Teresa Bellissimo, got the idea 502 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: to cook some leftover chicken wings and sauce. Sometimes, depending 503 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: on which virgion you're eating, it's hot sauce, sometimes it's 504 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: melted melted butter and cayenne depending. Um and surprise, they 505 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: loved him so much so that buffalo wings were featured 506 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: on the menu the very next day, and these wings 507 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: were served with a side of celery sticks and blue cheese, 508 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: and they were a best seller. For a little backstory, 509 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: the Anchor Bar was founded in nineteen thirty nine by 510 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: married couple Frank and Teresa Bellissimo, and there is a 511 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: riff on the origin story above. According to Frank, we 512 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: own an accidental delivery of chicken wings as opposed to 513 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: chicken necks for the invention of buffalo wings. The chickennecks 514 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: were used as a part of their spaghetti sauce recipe. 515 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: Frank tasked Theresa with coming up with an appetizer featuring 516 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: chicken wings and presto buffalo wings. Dominic has a different take. 517 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: In his version, it was a late Friday night in 518 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four and at the time a lot of 519 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: Roman Catholics didn't eat meat apart from fish on Friday's, 520 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: so Dominic requested that his mom whip up something with 521 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: meat to hand out for free to the regulars who 522 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: had been spending a lot of money at midnight. Once 523 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: they could have meat, so she went for the cheapest 524 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: meat she had, chicken wings. Both stories claim that she 525 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: cut the wing in half, resulting in a drum, and 526 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: flat fried them, sand spreading and doust them in a 527 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: hot sauce of some type. Both claim they became popular 528 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: in the city in mere weeks and where they were 529 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: and are simply called wings. Are chicken wings and served 530 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: mild medium are hot. So they're not called buffalo wings 531 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, they're just just wings, just wings. Modernly, the 532 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: anchor bar serves seventy thousand pounds of chicken a month. Yeah, 533 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: and I bet they don't order chicken necks anymore. I don't. 534 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: I would bet not, But I kind of want to 535 00:31:55,160 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: go and investigate for myself, to spread the population paraty 536 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: of the dish and to sell some hot sauce. The 537 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: son of the owner, Dominic Polissmo, and Dick Wagner, the 538 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: person who sold hot sauce to the anchor bar, went 539 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: on the road and restaurants slowly got on board. But 540 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: there is another version of the story, and it goes 541 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: that John Young invented the buffalo wing in sixties. Young 542 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: told a reporter that growing up in an African American community, 543 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: chicken wings was often in the meal lineup. He incorporated 544 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: that at his restaurant, John Young's Wings and Things um, 545 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: and he added what he called a mombo sauce to 546 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: his wings. These wings were a little bit different. They 547 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: were breaded and fried and served whole, as opposed to 548 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: flats and drums. But I feel like this is another 549 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: case that we see so often of a lot of 550 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: simultaneous things happening and then one person popularized them. Yeah. Yeah, 551 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: but it was probably around a long time before, or 552 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: at least a decent time before. Oh yeah, I think 553 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: I this is like mildly on the record, but I 554 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: think that I saw reports of at least chicken wings 555 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: specifically being consumed separately from the rest of the chicken, 556 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: like five to seven thousand years ago, So that's a 557 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: decent amount of time, So I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, Mike, 558 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: Like you said earlier, Lauren, they were certainly being eaten 559 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: in other countries at the same time, probably before this. Yeah, 560 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: but anyway, these are stories you'll probably see. Um, I've 561 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: never heard of this place, but I guess it's still around. 562 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: Duff's Chicken wing chain got started in nineteen nine. I 563 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: think it's a Canadian thing. Oh is it? I think? 564 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: Oh wow, did your dinners from Canada? Let us know? 565 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: Did you just include the note because of deaf spear 566 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: from I saw Duff Speer? Well, yeah, then that's one 567 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: one of the things about the story is that beer 568 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: was always associated. I think when all their stories like 569 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: we were drinking and we wanted this dish and yeah, 570 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:07,719 Speaker 1: it continues. And as we talked about in our Ranch episode, Um, 571 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: the capsa a sin that makes hot peppers hot and 572 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: stuff like Buffalo sauce. Yeah, it's alcohol soluble. It's not 573 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: water soluble, so you drink a glass of water. It's 574 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: not going to cool your mouth down. But it is 575 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: alcohol soluble. So you drink some beer and it's gonna 576 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: get it off your tongue. No. Yeah, and we'll get 577 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:29,479 Speaker 1: into that a tiny bit more later. But yeah, no, 578 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: um it um, people got hip to that when they 579 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 1: were selling chickens. I'm just gonna say that. Um. The 580 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: city of Buffalo declared July nineteen seventy seven as Chicken 581 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: Wing Day. It gave credence to the anchor bar origin story, 582 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: some say because during the seventies it would have been 583 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,280 Speaker 1: controversial to give credit to a black man. Absolutely quote, 584 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 1: where is the success of Mr Belizema's tasty experiment in 585 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four has grown to the point where thousands 586 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: of pounds of chicken wings are consumed by Buffalo a 587 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,280 Speaker 1: Ians in restaurants and taverns throughout our city each week. 588 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: And uh, yeah, people, if anyone is from Buffalo, oh, 589 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: please right in and let us know what it's like. Yes, 590 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: please please. In the meantime, we have more history for you. 591 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 1: But first, one more quick break forward from our sponsor, 592 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: and we're back. Thank you, sponsor, thank you, and we're 593 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: back with an aside about Hooters and Buffalo Wild Wings. Okay, okay, 594 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: So these places started opening in the in the eighties 595 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: and they gave chicken wings center stage on their menus. Um, 596 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: I've never been dying to these places, but I believe 597 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: that is a fact. Heck, how did you avoid it? Okay, 598 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,280 Speaker 1: please keep going. Okay. My first still Atlanta wing experience 599 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,320 Speaker 1: was at a BW Three's buff the Wild Wings. Oh 600 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 1: my goodness. And it was not because it was not 601 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,760 Speaker 1: because the choice is because of my where I lived 602 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: at the time, and that was like the closest I 603 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: was like driving around, I was like, oh, I can 604 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: go for some wings and then loop and that was 605 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: like my only I've done it a couple more times, 606 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: but it's it's kind of like a bleak experience. It's yeah, yeah, 607 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: there's they blackout all the windows. Well, I think we're 608 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: going to talk about it like it's a sports bar. 609 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: They black out all the windows because of glare. They 610 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: don't feel like the so people can't see your shame. Yeah, 611 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: it's not like it's not like a Vegas thing. It's like, 612 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: let's just don't forget about time and then they'll eat 613 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:46,479 Speaker 1: about eat all the wings. And yeah, my um ex 614 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 1: boyfriend we dated for three years and uh, you know, 615 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: there are tears of restaurants. So you have a favorite 616 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,879 Speaker 1: of like fast favorite, you have a favorite. So he 617 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: loved Buffalo Wild Wings. That was one of his favorite 618 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: of that, Like, I don't want to throw them under 619 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: the chicken wing bus, but he loved Buffalo Wild Wings. 620 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: And perhaps that says something about me that I never 621 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,840 Speaker 1: went that does. I think I've got some things to 622 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: think about later. But okay, um many think that the 623 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 1: first televised mention of Buffalo Wings happened in this decade 624 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: to on the Today Show. Buffalo Wild Wings, by the way, 625 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: was founded in after a fellow who had spent some 626 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: time in Buffalo, New York, realized he couldn't find any 627 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: good Buffalo wings in Ohio. I feel like I've read 628 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: a lot of stories of chains that started that way. Nowadays, 629 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,359 Speaker 1: they have sixteen sauces and stores all across the United 630 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: States and Canada, and you heard the numbers at the top. 631 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: They are doing just fine. Buffalo Wings hit it big 632 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 1: in the nineties nineties when they made their way onto 633 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: the menu of some McDonald's. You might have heard of 634 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: that across the country as Mighty Wings. So I do 635 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: remember that ad campaign, do you? Ah? There's so many 636 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: McDonald's dead campaigns that are just right in the back 637 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: of my brain. That's terrible, very effective McDonald's part though. Um. 638 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 1: Following that example, KFC debuted hot Wings a year later, 639 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:22,919 Speaker 1: and Domino's Pizza did the same in we told you 640 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: we'd be bringing up that date again, unmovable date in 641 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: the timeline of food. Um. They spent thirty two million 642 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: dollars on that roll out, by the way, what but 643 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: I'd say it was successful. Another thing that brought a 644 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: lot of awareness to Buffalo Wings might have been definitely 645 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,879 Speaker 1: was the football team, the Buffalo Bills. Um. They were 646 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,240 Speaker 1: around during the early nineties. I guess they're not around anymore. Again, 647 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, geez, I'm not no, I very I 648 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 1: know very little about professional words, but I know that 649 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills are still around. I apologize Buffalo bills 650 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 1: and it is not denying you my bad congratulations for 651 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,800 Speaker 1: bringing a lot of awareness to one of my favorite foods. 652 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: I do appreciate it. And two thousand one, Buffalo kicked 653 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: off its inaugural National Buffalo Wing Festival. By it was 654 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: seeing seventy thousand attendees per year who were eating five 655 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:33,280 Speaker 1: tons of chicken wings. Around two thousand six, and innovation 656 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: in meat plant technology made wings cheaper and safer. Up 657 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: until then, a workers had been separating flats from drums 658 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: by hand with like band saws or similar equipment, but 659 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 1: then a segmentor was developed to a to reduce dangerous 660 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: labor and increase output. Yeah. By the way, Philadelphia hosted 661 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: the inaugural wing bow eating contest, which we mentioned at 662 00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:00,320 Speaker 1: the top. Still going, McDonald's Mighty Wings appeared on news 663 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: again starting in But this begs the question why are 664 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,240 Speaker 1: chicken wings such a big football food other than obviously 665 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 1: they're delicious. The answer allies with timing. In the sixties 666 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 1: and seventies, Americans cooked and eight whole chickens, but boneless 667 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 1: chicken breasts became all the rage in the eighties, and 668 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,800 Speaker 1: this meant that chicken wings became an inexpensive byproduct. Restaurants 669 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: realized they could offer these wings for cheap, but speculated 670 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: the spiciness would boost beer sales. It all comes back, 671 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: they were correct. Simultaneously, more and more bars were outfitting 672 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: with satellite televisions, and most of these televisions were playing sports. 673 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: This was the birth of the sports bar, playing multiple 674 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: games across multiple TVs. In the United States, football that is, 675 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: American football was the favorite among sports fans to watch 676 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: in bars with friends. Chicken wings were a relatively cheap, 677 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: sharable protein that lent itself to such a gathering, and 678 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: it went well with that oh so popular sports drink beer. 679 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,719 Speaker 1: Let me say sports drink. I think like gatorade. I 680 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,799 Speaker 1: guess beer is the second sports drink. Yeah, sure, thank you, 681 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: thank you. I do have some friends that there was 682 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 1: a study that I it's one of those studies that 683 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, you just did this to justify something to yourself. 684 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: But there was a study that came out a couple 685 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: of years ago that said, so scientifically it's good to 686 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: drink beer before and after you work out. And I 687 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: was like, you just want to drink beer, that's all 688 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,800 Speaker 1: it is. And now fastward. Now you can get expensive 689 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 1: chicken wings at nice restaurants. Yeah, and Ramsey, you had 690 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: you had a little bit of a note that we 691 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,479 Speaker 1: said we'd come back to about Atlanta being a wing town. 692 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 1: Atlanta is known as the lemon pepper hub of I 693 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 1: guess the world, possibly not the United States. You've got 694 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: your buffalo wings, but I would say that Atlanta is 695 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,839 Speaker 1: definitely referred to as the lemon pepper um And I 696 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: think all the things goes to our hip hop rap 697 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: culture that we have here, as far as all the 698 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 1: artists that kind of rap about wings and where they 699 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 1: get their wings and how they like their wings and 700 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: all that um. In particular. You know, you've got Cucci Mane. 701 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: He has a lemon made song where he talks about 702 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: he likes his lemon pepper wings and You've got two chains. 703 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: He has a song called Hot Wings that's actually recorded 704 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 1: at an American deli where he's rapping about eating chicken wings. 705 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's definitely part of our culture here 706 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: in Atlanta. And I've no, I don't think I ever 707 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 1: had lemon pepper wings until I came to Atlanta. Oh yeah, 708 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 1: I don't think I had either so I mean, I 709 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: think we all of us here have our favorite spots 710 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: to get wings and stuff like that, but like you know, 711 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: there's still debate of where to get the best wing 712 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,320 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and you know, what serves the best style 713 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 1: and how you want to cook it and how you 714 00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,840 Speaker 1: want to eat it and all that stuff. Yeah, it's funny. 715 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: In the the article that you shared, I unfortunately am 716 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 1: not up to date with the show Atlanta, but it 717 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 1: was like a plot point in there. Oh yeah, it 718 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 1: was totally a plot point. Like they went to g 719 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 1: R Crickets, they got lemon pepper wet. Like you go 720 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: into the story, you're like, hey, how do you want 721 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: like wings? Do you go lemon pepper wet and like 722 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 1: that's how you get your wings? And we have a 723 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it a epidemic. We have a problem 724 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 1: around Atlanta where if you look on the street, if 725 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,279 Speaker 1: you get off the airport, you're probably gonna see a 726 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 1: chicken bone, chicken wing bones, chicken wing bones. Specifically, from 727 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 1: your time you get your bags to when you get 728 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 1: in your car, you'll probably see a chicken leg, chicken 729 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 1: bone anywhere, like we had. There's an Instagram account called 730 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,879 Speaker 1: wings of a t L, which I subscribe to, And 731 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 1: it's it's funny because like you would literally find wings 732 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 1: all over Atlanta. Yeah, once someone points it out to you. 733 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 1: Is it's one of those things like like that word 734 00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 1: you've never heard before, but then you hear it once. 735 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 1: It's sudenly, it's everywhere. Once you start noticing it, you're like, oh, no, 736 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 1: we eat a lot of chicken wings, and we eat 737 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 1: them apparently on the go, and sometimes there's no trash cans, 738 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: and so that's just I mean, they are biodegradable. It's true. 739 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 1: I do probably I walk everywhere that I can, and 740 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,280 Speaker 1: I anywhere I'm walking, I will see chicken wing bones. 741 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 1: But I love that about the hip hop culture celebrating 742 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 1: chicken wings because it is such like a food of 743 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: the people. And when you're talking about segments of your 744 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 1: life that are like to you just just part of 745 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 1: you and part of what it means to be you, 746 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: and especially something that is kind of bucking against these 747 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: negative stereotypes that have been put out about people who 748 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 1: look like you for so many years, it's it's really 749 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 1: wonderful to have people just go like, yeah, I like 750 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,280 Speaker 1: chicken wings. What they're great. I also love the specific 751 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 1: ordering of like oh yeah, oh yeah, no lemon pepper 752 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,800 Speaker 1: rub is totally different and I cannot necessarily approve of it. 753 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:05,279 Speaker 1: Lauren's at each of the episode strong opinion yea. And 754 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: for me personally, like I don't go if I see 755 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 1: wings on the menu, I'll all there's certain places I 756 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 1: will order them, and they arguably have some of the 757 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: best wings. But you know, you got your gr Crickets 758 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 1: and that it is definitely a staple here in Atlanta, 759 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 1: and you've got another restaurants, um, like I mentioned American 760 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 1: Delhi and other places that you know, it's just really 761 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,960 Speaker 1: dependent on where you like to get your wings. Um. 762 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: You know, for me, there's a place I was like, oh, 763 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 1: this is great wings. I had never had smoked wings before, 764 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: and like I remember I could go there and I 765 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,080 Speaker 1: could spend like seven bucks and I can get six 766 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,359 Speaker 1: wings and they come to the side of fries. Now 767 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 1: you go that same spot and it's like twelve dollars dollars, 768 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 1: I'm like, that's not that's you know. I'd rather make 769 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 1: wings myself, enjoy them, eat them the way I like, 770 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 1: you know, obviously I'm not smoking them, brining them and 771 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 1: deep brining them twice and all the or stuff all 772 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 1: the time. But yeah, you know, it's it's definitely wings 773 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 1: for me, have always been wing for the people, you know, 774 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,960 Speaker 1: food for the people. Yeah, And I'm always kind of 775 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: curious with like, well, was it that we just weren't 776 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 1: paying for something that we should have been paying for? 777 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 1: What did you say about the tomato? Like do we 778 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:18,719 Speaker 1: just have to pay more? Do we just have to 779 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 1: get used to paying a fair price for tomatoes? Yeah? 780 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 1: I mean, and that does work into especially when you're 781 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,680 Speaker 1: talking about this number of chickens that we were like 782 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: what what was what was it? I forget the ridiculous 783 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: number like over twenty billion chicken wings or chicken wing 784 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 1: yeah per year. Yeah, you're you're getting into food production 785 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 1: questions at that point, and how to sustainably and morally 786 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 1: raise that number of animals and pay workers to do 787 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:52,439 Speaker 1: that thing, and processing not letting people get their hands 788 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,799 Speaker 1: cut off during processing, all all that all that kind 789 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 1: of fun stuff yea food. Yeah, I mean, it's always 790 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 1: good to ask those questions. We're big proponents of that, 791 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:06,720 Speaker 1: and we're also big proponents of some science. Yeah. Alright, 792 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,240 Speaker 1: So my very favorite serious Eats writer one J. Kenji 793 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 1: lipez Alt did some serious wing experimentation, and he arrived 794 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,799 Speaker 1: at a few methods for producing superior chicken wings all right, 795 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 1: wherein superior, by the way, is meant to mean super 796 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 1: crispy on the outside, super tender on the inside, without 797 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 1: using any kind of breading or dredging, which he considers cheating. 798 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah. So he found that to a 799 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 1: crisp a wing to its full potential without drying out 800 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,720 Speaker 1: the meat, you want to fry them twice, uh, initially 801 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,400 Speaker 1: in a relatively low temperature for a relatively long period 802 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,840 Speaker 1: of time, say like a two d and fifty fahrenheight 803 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 1: or it's about one celsius for up to twenty minutes 804 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,280 Speaker 1: to cook the meat and latinize all this stretchy, stiff 805 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 1: collagen in the skin in the connective tissue. Then let 806 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,799 Speaker 1: him cool down a little bit and briefly refry at 807 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: a hotter temperature around like four hundred fahrenheit or about 808 00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,720 Speaker 1: two hundred celsius. And this, let's have you things happen. 809 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,880 Speaker 1: And I find it so interesting that Ramsey, you were 810 00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: saying that special recipe that you did that one time, 811 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 1: is this is like exactly how you did it UM. 812 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:12,560 Speaker 1: So First, the now soft skin UM can expand more 813 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,440 Speaker 1: as escaping water vapor pushes and bubbles it outwards, so 814 00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 1: it stretches out thinner. A second, the initial low temperature 815 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 1: of the fry allows the wing to retain a lot 816 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 1: of internal moisture while driving out some of the external 817 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,680 Speaker 1: moisture UM, meaning that the proteins in the skin that 818 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,959 Speaker 1: brown up so beautifully can get right to it quick. 819 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,080 Speaker 1: Frying means that your chicken won't soak up grease and 820 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 1: get soggy, so nice and crisp. He also tested a 821 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,319 Speaker 1: few methods for oven baked wings that are just as 822 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 1: or almost as good as deep fried. The secret there 823 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 1: is getting rid of some of that external moisture again 824 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,319 Speaker 1: by up by drying the wings in an open pan 825 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 1: in the fridge overnight, coated with some dry brin basically 826 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 1: some baking powder and salt, and the salt we talked 827 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,840 Speaker 1: about earlier. The baking powder. I didn't have time to 828 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,000 Speaker 1: like really scientifically figure out what was going on here, 829 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 1: but but it improves browning for a number of complex reasons, 830 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 1: involving the alkalinity um, the Malliard reaction, peptide bonds in 831 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,920 Speaker 1: the proteins and the skin and carbon dioxide bubbles. It's 832 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: a lot of cool science stuff, a lot of cool science. 833 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,400 Speaker 1: A little bit of baking powder. You don't want too 834 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 1: much because then it tastes like baking powder, which is metallic, 835 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 1: and you don't really want to eat very much of that. 836 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,640 Speaker 1: No not, I mean, or maybe you do. I don't 837 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 1: know your life, don't. I'm gonna have to dry that 838 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,880 Speaker 1: out because I my the healthy ones I mentioned earlier 839 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 1: that I make, I mean healthy, healthier, healthier. Less oil, 840 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:49,479 Speaker 1: that's healthier, chip, I bake them. I'll have to give 841 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,480 Speaker 1: this a world because you know the game's coming. Oh 842 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,600 Speaker 1: it is Big Game? Is that a movie? A better 843 00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,640 Speaker 1: be a movie? Big Game? The Big Game? I think 844 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,719 Speaker 1: it is. There's the game completely different, I'm sure, And 845 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 1: there's Big. There's Big that's also different. So combine the 846 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,440 Speaker 1: plots of those two movies and we are ready to go. 847 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:15,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to see that movie, you know, poor 848 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks. Michael Douglas. Michael Douglas, I'm telling you call 849 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:30,359 Speaker 1: us remake. Well, I think this about it brings us 850 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 1: to the end of this episode. Thank you so much 851 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,479 Speaker 1: for joining us.

Like I said earlier, I 853 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,960 Speaker 1: when I was asked, but I didn't definitely didn't want 854 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:46,080 Speaker 1: to wing this.
