Lol at the hate for BWW on this thread. What places have similar wing flavors and are better than BWW? Crickets.
I went to BWW on NYD to watch the Hox bince it was the only place open that early in my 'hood. I was there with a Badger fan. We ran up a bill that was a touch over $180 for the two of us, before tip. I went home and vomited within a minute of laying down while trying to watch the Rose Bowl. I think it was because I drank too much beer too fast, but I'll say this, the grease level in those wings sure didn't help (I think I had 12 or 15 wings). BWW has some pretty decent sauces and in the summer, I'll stroll over there and buy a few kinds of sauce and then slather that onto wings that I grill myself. My biggest issue with the place is that while the sauces are good and the flavors plentiful, they seem to use the same fryer oil for like 6 months without changing it and it really hurts the quality of their product. Given shifts in Americans' consumption patterns, if I were running the place, I'd try to offer up some baked or flame broiled wings to make the place more attractive to people who don't want to consume a bunch of old fryer grease with their wings, but I suspect they won't do that because baking or grilling wings takes much longer to do than just tossing them in the fryer and the name of the game is volume.
But, to answer your second question - my abode has similar wing flavors and they are better than BWW because the wings aren't deep fried and some ex-con isn't adulterating my wings after they come out of the fryer. I shudder to think of how filthy the kitchen in a BWW is bince 80% of their food volume comes out of a fryer. Think of the type of person who will stand in that kitchen with all that fryer heat and grease kicking up for 6-8 hours at a time for $9 an hour. Ask yourself if you would let him into your home to cook for you. Of course you wouldn't.
