This week, like everyone else, I am reflecting on what I am thankful for. The thing I am most thankful for, is two years ago today, I got on stage at the Laughing Skull for the first time. It was a slow wind up for me, my first 10 months or so of comedy, IContinue reading “Thank You Jesus for Chicken wings”

Sunday night, I went to the Nook adjacent to Piedmont Park. I had heard of their infamous “Totchos” (tater tots dressed as nachos) but hadn’t made it there to try. I was asked there by Gene* (name has been changed). Gene is a Yankee transplant and has personified more Southern chivalry than most Georgia bredContinue reading “Effort”

I get wings with friends as often as I can. Last Tuesday, I had wings with my good friend Dan, a fellow Atlanta comic. We did the friend wing thing at Graveyard. I previously gave them a mediocre review, which I still stand by. It’s a great deal to get 10 wings for $4.50~. IContinue reading “Friend Wings”

As a Southerner by birth, all holidays, all occasions, and all celebrations revolve around food. To me, I didn’t throw a good party unless everyone has a full belly and standing around the kitchen talking all night long. When I take time to eat wings with someone, it’s more than happenstance. It’s a way toContinue reading “Why Do I Eat Wings?”

After attending Samford, I accepted a job at a multimedia company selling digital and print advertising. It was not a good fit for me but during that time I played on a kickball team that somehow made life bearable. It was one of my favorite things to do. Because Birmingham is so much smaller thanContinue reading “Birmingham Memories”

I think it’s important to treat yourself to something special every once in a while and it’s even better when you get to share the experience. Back in July, I met a nice young man named Evan. He reversed catfished me. He was much more attractive and charming in person. Our first date was overContinue reading “Fancy Pants”

We all make mistakes and sometimes they can be upsetting and disappointing. I can think of a few instances where I knew better. I can think of guys that I wasted time on and wings that weren’t worth the ranch they were dipped in. (More times than not, it happened at the same time.) HereContinue reading “Mistakes Were Made, Lessons Learned”

I have shared on and off stage about a bad Tinder date. (yes, I know they are hack. Yes, everyone has bad ones. I know, I’m not that special.) And it involves my beloved wings. The date started off  with the gent not getting out of the booth to greet me. So that made meContinue reading “Tinder and The Family Dog”

I haven’t had a chance to review all of the wings I have had but there are some places that I need to try and/or retry. Sometimes, I will have intentions on really savoring some wings but things like cute guys, beer, loud noises, or general malaise will distract me from the wing experience. IContinue reading “Wings I need to try or retry”

One of the most obviously places that comes to mind when I think of wings is Graveyard Tavern in East Atlanta Village. It has everything I want in a wing joint: an edge neighborhood that I’m not cool enough for, a hearse parked out front, large sexy booths, and a great list of unique wings.Continue reading “Obvious”
