Wings = perfectly cooked
Spiciness = overhyped
I went to Duff's for the first time as I'm always looking for a place with hot enough food to slow me down, and numerous people told me Duff's could be that place to bring me to my knees; I've never had restaurant food that could do it so I was excited.
What I found was that the wings were awesome, they were perfectly cooked and breaded, just the perfect chicken wing. I'm a wing nut and this and a small pub known as Westend in hamilton are the only two places I've eaten at that do wings properly.
The spice level is greatly overhyped though, I ordered armageddon and asked for them extra saucy, I got them and was immediately disappointed by the heat level; I should mention the flavour of the sauce was awesome. Got half way through and still didn't have a tingle so I got a bowl of armageddon sauce on the side and started using the wings as spoons to scoop the sauce into my mouth seeing if it would give me a burn at any point, it didn't. I ended up just spooning all the sauce into my mouth and got a light tingle but that was it. I'm a spicy food not and I have a very high tolerance so if you aren't they may very well still seem obscenely hot, but that being said I can still make hot sauces at home that I will struggle with and for all the hype and the "armageddon" label these didn't come close.
I'll still definitely go back though because the wings and flavours were top notch but sadly my search for a food joint in toronto that can give me a burn continues. If anybody knows any places that could potentially do it reply and let me know.
