Augie Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Well, I know one thing for CERTAIN: That made me hungry! As a PSA for those in the Atlanta area, there is a Duffs in Newnan, GA about 40 miles from my house. It was worth the trip! Not something I’ll do every weekend, but hopefully I’ll get back again. I had BIG eyes when ordering, which resulted in plenty of wings and half of a beef on weck to bring home. I normally wouldn’t have any interest in a leftover, cold wing....but these were a treat. . 4 minutes ago, Bray Wyatt said: Yeah they did all medium in the video, but said they wish they did hot Yep, and notice they chose Duff’s, where “medium is hot”.

707BillsFan Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Just spent a week in Buffalo, finally made it to Gabriel's Gate. Awesome wings. I do love Bar Bill though. Tough call between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to get into Duffs last year, but the line to get in was crazy long, and I had other things to do, and foods to eat! A long weekend back in Buffalo can result in a food coma! .

Jauronimo Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I guess I need to try Duff's again. Like many of you I now live in an area where if I want wings I'm better off making them at home. Anyone found a difference in outcome based on how long you wait after frying to sauce or the temp of the sauce? I've found that if I immediately sauce after frying they'll be soggy quickly. Warm or hot temp sauce will also contribute to sogginess. Best results for me have been when waiting 2 or 3 minutes then hand brushing on a room temp sauce. I get more room for error when using the base of the sauce is syrupy/sugary than vinegar heavy sauces. I think it would be an interesting food lab experiment and I haven't seen any discussion of this final critical component of wing cookery. I'll hang up now and hear your thoughts.

Medium was just fine for me at Duff’s, though I usually get hot. I was a t a pizza joint for lunch and a guy comes in and sits next to me at the bar. He orders some hot wings. They warn him that hot is really HOT! He says “that’s what beer is for”. After the first wing, I ask him how they are. He says they’re fine, no big deal. During his second wing he says “it builds on you.” He orders another beer. By the third wing his eyes are watering and he’s blowing his nose. MORE beer. He starts choking a little bit, and I move away slightly, in case he spontaneously combusts! Pride got the better of him, and he insisted on finishing his order, but I promise he did NOT enjoy it! It wasn’t a hotter wet sauce, it was some kind of lethal rub. No thank you! 8 minutes ago, Jauronimo said: I guess I need to try Duff's again.

Despite his crotchety disposition, I must say that @plenzmd1 whips up fine wings at a tailgate. Everyone is good for something!

About 5 years ago at the Buffalo wing fest I tried the hottest wing at the festival I had to sign a waiver.. After 1 bite my body immediately became numb and I thought I was dying...

I do love Bar Bill though. Tough call between the two. I agree on this; my two favorites. The main differences don't have to do with the actual wings: 1. Longer drive to E-A. 2. Cash only for Bar Bill (not a big deal at all) 3. Bar Bill has more flavors. 4. You better get to Bar Bill at opening and be prepared to wait. 5. Nicer atmosphere at BB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to be all “get off my lawn” guy here, and I’m sure some of the extra flavors are good food, but this old guy thinks wings should be mild, medium or hot. Period. Anything else is, well......almost as bad as Ranch!!! ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Last trip to Garbiel's Gate in Allentown, they were very good. 1 minute ago, Augie said: I don’t want to be all “get off my lawn” guy here, and I’m sure some of the extra flavors are good food, but this old guy thinks wings should be mild, medium or hot.
