Dragonborn10 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Poor Eric Striker. Went from beloved to potentially hated in only a couple days - all while never having stepped on the field. Everyone hates me on this board already anyways so I figured I would add more fuel to the fire...in a fun way. Just fun guys. Vietnamese fish sauce wings are as good or better than Buffalo wings. For those of you who have had them, please tell the others who have not how awesome they are. I'm am more of a sweet and savory guy (IN more ways than one) than a hot sauce kind of guy. If you have not had a chance to try good fish sauce wings, please do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I bet those are really good, actually. Not as good as the originals, but still. The best ribs I've ever had, and likely ever will, are from our local Japanese joint nearby. Teriyaki ribs, cooked all day. Oh man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy10 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I had smoked wings at a BBQ joint in North Carolina that were prepared with a spicy dry rub. Absolutely nothing like real Buffalo wings, but still freaking amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungmack Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Nhuk mam, that's what that sauce is called. It's like Vietnamese ketchup; it gets splashed on everything. Fish is rotted in the sun, with water constantly being poured over it until there's nothing left except the liquid. Smells disgusting when it's being made but it turns out to be just fine when you eat it. Still, when I want Buffalo-style chicken wings, there's not going to be any fish sauce on them. Frank's and only Frank's. And you best not dunk them in the bleu cheese: that's reserved for the celery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Are you kidding? Look, I love the classic Franks wings. They are my favorite. But I really like Thai seasonings. I want to try these now. What I want to see is the skin and corn starch coating on Korean style double fry wings with butter and Franks. But I have lived in the heretic lands too long.

BuffaNole3 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 first place I stop every time I am home is Charlie the butcher at Wegmans on McKinley. Live in South Florida but come up every year for a game. There is not a trip without Charlie the Butchers. Wings are great in Buffalo but not upset if I don't get any. Also, love me a royal at John and Mary's.

Augie Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 And you best not dunk them in the bleu cheese: that's reserved for the celery. Dunking in blue cheese is just fine (or even great!). Ranch? I'd have to leave the room. Ranch has it's place (like homemade chips. ), but it should be kept several feet away from wings - for the good of all mankind.

Good sandwich, but it's not quite the same. Says he has the kemmelweck bread imported. Publix used to have kemmelweck from time to time in Florida. I built my bank Christmas party around it one year. Those folks needed the education! Unfortunately, it came in plastic bags and the salt would "melt" (humidify?) off the buns. Had to act quickly and carefully. A Buffalo guy's restaurant only a mile from my house has it on the menu daily, but the meat isn't consistent with too much grizzle at times and a little thick. (Yeah, I'm picky.) The Teds knockoff joint has beef on wreck, but they use flank steak, so I know that's just not the same. They do the dogs so well I stick to that part of the menu.

I will say that living out here on the west coast, folks have no idea about places that use real charcoal. We have a local SF business, Lazzari, that has a variety of good charcoal.

The Teds knock off here in Atlanta (Barkers Red Hots, the deserve the plug) has bags of charcoal for sale, that I'm sure no one has ever bought except for bizarro circumstances.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Koreans know their wings. But I am not sure I could go for fish sauce on my wings; always smells foul. Yeah, you really need to go light on fish sauce. It's one of those things like Worcestershire sauce and parmesan and anchovy where a little bit mixed in with other stuff really amps up the flavor, but too much makes stuff inedible.

By 4,000 posts you'd think I'd have figured this out! You can roll your own wrt text formatting and emoticons. You have to bracket the text you want bolded using the letter b encased in square brackets before the text you want bolded. Then you end with a slash b encased in square brackets. The server and html do the rest. [ b ] text text text [ / b ] but remove the spaces. Same thing with emoticons. Next time you're not on a mobile device, click on "Show All" and you'll see the code to use for whatever smiley you want to use. They get bracketed with colons. : thumbsup : For the record, have never had Vietnamese fish sauce wings. Is that the same sauce as Chinese "Fish Sauce"?

Dr. Fong Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Fish sauce wings are pretty good. My favorite non-Buffalo style is Korean style, specifically from Bonchon. Man those are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I don't like Vietnamese fish sauce wings because I don't like fish. When I make wings at home, I use my own version of a Korean Gochujang sauce. I made these two Sundays in a row and the Bills won both games. But then we lost the following week despite making the wings again. Still trying to discover the exact correlation between my Sunday eating habits and the Bills W-L record.
