Read More"Would you like to see the dessert menu?” It’s a question usually posed to me after I’ve eaten a 20-ounce steak, baked potato and token vegetable, which followed either a sausage and broccoli rabe or candied slab bacon appetizer. As a true Wingaddict, though, the entire word “dessert” has taken on an entirely different meaning to me lately. I...
Read MoreAs we prepare to consume our 700th chicken wing flavor (on our quest to eat 1,000), its fun to look back at the journey which started just over 1,300 days ago.

Read MoreAs the popularity of creative chicken wing flavors continues to explode across the landscape, new ideas for featuring those wings is clearly next up.

Read MoreThat is the question. Scientists have discovered compelling evidence that suggests I may have been an actual Wingaddict long before I ever ate chicken wings. At the grocery store with my mother (and my two little brothers) I’d often get lost because I dropped anchor in the condiments aisle while mom kept
Read MoreThe "North Central Trail" is the fifth path on the new CT Wing Trail and features eleven wing spots mostly around the Hartford area and directly north. While none of these spots have yet to be featured on Wingaddicts RELAPSE episodes (which places them in the CT Wing Hall of Fame) FOUR of them are on the schedule to be added in 2023. Shhh. Can...
Read MoreAs we reflect back on the year 2022, our third full year at Wingaddicts, what a special year it was. In the spirit of all the “Year in Review” recaps we’ll all be forced to endure for the next week, I thought I’d beat them all to the punch! Indulge me!
