Smackdown: Hot wings

Looney's Pub

Wings 'n' things: A small order netted 12 wings. That's nice. We received celery, blue cheese dressing and—thank the Cylon Gods!—carrots. We love a change of pace. We'll take it.

Hot stuff: If you like your chicken wings messy and sloppy, these wings are yours. (You probably like gladiator movies, too, don't you?) The serving was split between six drumettes and six double-bones. The wings tasted more tangy than spicy, and—in a reoccurring trend in this region—there wasn't any afterburn. These wings went down nice and easy.

Investment: We paid $9.50 (with tax) for 12 wings.

Bottom line: If you want to look like an artillery shell of hot sauce exploded on your face, visit Looney's.
