| - I started off my visit to Quaker Steak with the Atomic Wing Challenge, which is just eating six of their atomic wings. Six wings obviously isn't much, but the atomic wings are quite spicy and they require that you sign a liability waiver before eating them (this is more for show than anything). Yes, they're pretty damn hot, but they're bearable as long as you have a good tolerance for spicy food. If you're comfortable eating foods with habaneros in them, then you'll have no problem with the atomic wings. Here's a pro-tip though: if you're getting the atomic wings, ask them for a pair of food-handling gloves. This way you can avoid getting wing sauce all over your hands, allowing you to actually touch your eyes or use the restroom later that day without torturing yourself.
Anyway, after I finished that off, I went back and got some more wings - Louisiana Lickers, Arizona Ranch, and Golden Garlic. I was impressed with the flavors, as everything was quite good. The wings were nice and meaty too, which is good because a lot of wing places manage to hunt down wings with almost no meat on them, which kind of defeats the purpose of eating them in the first place.
My one complaint is that I think the wings are a bit overpriced. A half dozen wings is $5, and 83 cents per wing seems rather high to me. Still though, these wings are much better than most, so it's probably worth it.
