It's that damn Duff's. It's so hot right now ($6.75 plus tax) - Duff's Famous WIngs @ 558 College St.

I thought I'd redeem myself after my post about salad, so I ate 5 chickens worth of wings.

On Tuesday nights, Duff's sells 10 wings for $6.75 with the purchase of a beverage. Now these aren't any puny, brag to your friends that you can eat 37 wings, chicken wings. These are some hefty mo-fos, and are borderline drum sticks. I can barely finish one order, so I'd recommend you start with that, and then build upon it if your gut can handle it


There isn't an assortment of flavours. Duff's keeps it simple with hawt sawce (emphasize the "w"), and some variations of bbq and honey garlic. Their hawt sawce is rated on a scale of mild to armaggedon. Each rating corresponds to an SHU (Scoville Heat Unit). I think mild is about 5000 and armageddon is about 80 000. The numbers mean nothing to me, but it gives you some idea of how hot it can get. I'm guessing if the hottest rating is named after the apolcolypic battle with Satan, it must be pretty damn hot.

I always go with the medium. Its spicy enough to make you sweat a bit, without damaging your insides. The wings are also served with celery and your choice of dip (blue cheese is the best). The fresh, crisp celery is a nice complement to the hot wings, and also tricks you into thinking you're eating somewhat of a balanced meal.

All in all, the wings are amazing, and probably the best hot wings I've had. It can get busy on Tuesday nights, but it's definitely worth the wait.
