buckeyemike Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Link I don't mind being told how many calories are in the foods I like. It's the food Nazis I can't stand. You know what? I will decide how many transfats I'll ingest, thank you. I just ate the best glazed donut of my life this morning...will I be vilified for that? I'm 39 years old...I despise being treated like a little kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 What a news flash. Wings are bad for you. Go figure. And yet they taste good. Bingo. I gotta admit I wasn't all that surprised to find that wings are fattening. Actully most of the food I really like is fattening. No point in pretending otherwise. I do my best to make healthy foods more appetizing and try (unsuccessfully a lot of the time!) to avoid or limit the fattening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Those chicken wings won't help your diet... Dumbest thread title ever. Thanks Captain Obvious. Will I Live to See 80? I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?' He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?' 'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!' Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs? ' I said, 'No, my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!' 'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?' 'No, I don't, I said. He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?' 'No,' I said He looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even give a ?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 That woman should be shot. I am a vegetarian (90% of the time) and I agree. The substitute I use is a breaded tofu thing that looks like a chicken finger. Then I use my own concoction of wing sauce (the one I created when I worked at Hometown Heroes in 1988--little shoutout to any Rochesterarians who ever went). My meat eating friends like it. No one (including me) would dare say it's as good as a chicken wing but most people admit it's tasty and not a terrible substitute. My secret to good wings (or wing-like substitutes) is a drenching sauce. I follow the Duff's model--and think that there should be sauce pooled in the bowl under the wings. Regarding the health of wings, let's see. Chicken skin. Deep fried. Stick of butter in the sauce (I add no butter to my sauce, but do load it up with Tabasco). Dip that deep into blue cheese dressing. Top it off with 0% health benefit celery. Of course it's !@#$ing bad for you! But it does taste good.

plenzmd1 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 A little OT, but my Tivo got a Bobby Flay episode the other day in some show called Throwdown. Seems like he goes to places famous for some certain dish and trys to "beat" them with a better recipe. So he is at the Anchor Bar in this show, and some dude(The Wing King, not the owner) is making up a sauce with brown sugar and boubon and some other stuff. Now, what was funny was the owner of Duffs was one of the judges, so that was cool. Anyway, would his wing sauce be considererd a Buffalo Wing??? Is it sacreligious for the Anchor Bar to be serving these types of wings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow the Duff's model--and think that there should be sauce pooled in the bowl under the wings. Couldn't disagree more with this sentiment. The wings at the Bar Bill in East Aurora, NY will show you the right way to do wings, BIG juicy wings with plenty of flavor and spice, and absolutely NO drenching or pooling of sauce. I like hot wings, and I can't stand when places think that by "hot," it means just dump twice as much medium sauce on there. Dripping wet wings are disgusting, IMO.

I agree there are too many places that don't know what HOT wings are. The places that do make a good hot sauce are great and I love them drenched in the sauce. I use the extra to put on hot dogs or hamburgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
