| - Finally tried Chicken Lips wings, and on the advice of others on this site, opted for "Original" style.
What I can't believe no one mentioned, is this is a very different taste from any hot wing I've ever had. I'm not sure what the herbs/spices are, but it's taste seems like Indian curry. But it is good, damn good!
What I really respect is that the owners had the courage to do something unique.
I was reading about Dickey's Barbecue the other day, and almost every review said "ok, but nothing special", and having been a restaurant owner for over 10 years, I know why that is. They are shooting for a taste that is "acceptable" to most people. It's a money move, not a culinary move.
This guy at Chicken Lips made a conscious decision to make the best wings, period, taking a chance that some people might not like them.
I say BRAVO! And the bleu cheese sauce is made in house, again BRAVO!
In closing, can't understand all the postings about "it's a dive" and "it's a hole in wall". What I saw was a very clean, nice bar. From the outside it does look a bit sketchy (random cardboard boxes covering a window), but is that really important? Maybe they should put some ferns in there, or slick looking stainless steel to assuage the more discriminating clientele, but for me, I'll just keep eatin' them wings!
