chicken wing fun
the place: soul fire, 182 harvard ave, allston
the date: monday, 03.09
the plan: all you can eat wings
the third monday installment of all you can eat wings at soul fire was a success. and this time I actually ordered the wings. over the last three weeks, I’ve somehow gone from “I don’t like wings” to “well, maybe I’ll try one…” to “wings, yes!” it’s been a weird and surprising transformation for a not-so-meat-inclined girl like me.
drinks, of course: it’s allston. I had a high life. actually, I believe I had four. they were fizzy and delicious and hipster-crap-beer-tastic as always. the rest of the table had the same, schlitz, pbr, or red stripe (that was josh, classing up the group).
the main event: we had a big group again this week and went through three or four platters of wings. I myself had about 7. normally, they bring each person a sampler of the four flavors and then you order additional, but as experienced regular-types, we skip this step and order a large platter of pit boss (the soul fire bbq), spicy honey, and the flavor of the week since none of us like buffalo. this week’s flavor was honey dijon and it was awesome. I also love the spicy honey, but have no real interest in the pit boss. I also had a side of mac & cheese — it’s not actually the best mac & cheese ever, but the decision to crumble barbecue potato chips on top was absolute brilliance and should probably lead to some sort of nobel or something.
the cook knows us at this point (I think bringing standout-in-a-crowd types like ogre helps) and instructs the waitresses to just keep our wings coming, so I’m sure this will continue to be a regular thing until soul fire discontinues the offer.
