CONSTANCE: We've always wanted to try Chipper's. It looks like a garage ... small, on the corner, not anything special. But special it was - 51 flavors of wings - one for each state and Puerto Rico! And dozens more than Baskin Robbin's has ice cream flavors. We settled on the Tumbleweed, a butter garlic blend meshed with mesquite. The wait time was about 45 minutes, but well worth it. Twelve wings were $6.25. Since Chipper's doesn't have wings, we called Hungry Howie's as we were leaving.
It's my birthday on the first day of Fall, and I had a free pizza coupon to use with a $5 purchase as Hungry Howie's. We got Cajun crazy bread and a medium pizza with green peppers with ranch spiced crust. Funny how we'd never tried green peppers all year. A first night for many things!
We got home and everything was still hot! The wings were crispy and flavorful and came with veggies and ranch dip too. The tumbleweed flavor was really good. I have messed up taste buds this week due to a wicked sinus/cold infection so they probably were even more flavorful than I was able to enjoy.
Hungry Howie's, although a chain, is locally owned and they always have a fine za. Even though the phone order taker thought my name was Donnie (and I even spelled it C-O-N-N-I-E!!).
The other first of the night was pretty unique too. Mathias was shocked that I'd never had a Wendy's Frosty and dipped my fries into it. So we had dessert first. The salty taste of the hot fries was the perfect complement to the cold chocolate of the Frosty. Delicious!
My slice rating for the pizza and wings would be a 6 outta 8 slice review. I'd definitely go back to try the other 50 flavors at Chipper's: lizards, Chads, CB's ... so many sound intriguing!
And when you go to Hungry Howie's sign up for the birthday club so you can get a free za to help celebrate your special day! It almost makes getting a year older all worth it!
