When I was a kid living in the ‘burbs, my family and I would go to the Varsity once year, usually correlating to a sporting event downtown. I still love the Varsity. At the moment, I am actually craving a chili dog (or two), onion rings, and an FO (Frosted Orange, for the uncultured). IContinue reading “Cricket’s and Pools of Sauce”

So my birthday was the other day. I am not very sentimental about my birthday so I decided to get my nails done and go home and relax with some wine (alone). I am at a point in my life that it means so much more to me if I have friends come to aContinue reading “Selfish”

I love smoked wings and I am always so excited when I hear of a place that does it right. There are a few places in Atlanta that do them well : Fox Brothers (currently #1 in my book), the Local, Moe’s BBQ and the Albert (which I need to try again). My comedy buddyContinue reading “Compare”

I have written about change a few times on here and pivotal moments of change. Somehow, change is the one constant in my life. I used to have a pet hedgehog named Ralph that I got from a breeder in Tuscaloosa when I lived in Birmingham. A hedgehog was the best decision pet wise forContinue reading “Ch-ch-changes”

I have been stuck in a rut lately. I have eaten a ton of wings since my last post but all from the usual places. Each experience was related to spending time with important people in my life, so its worth eating Graveyard a few times. In my personal life, I have been stuck asContinue reading “Stuck”

A lot of media outlets have named Fox Brother’s BBQ as the home of the best smoked wings in Atlanta. I have plenty of friends who say they aren’t, mostly for the sake of being counter to the popular. I am guilty of going against hype. I have not seen the Harry Potter movies (orContinue reading “Hype?”

I was so happy to go to Raleigh, NC visit my parents over Christmas and my very busy 21 year old sister carved out a little time to go get wings with me. Having a little of her time is almost impossible so I was glad to have some quality sister time doing our semi-annualContinue reading “How does this sauce taste?”

I believe in taking risks and going for the bold, spicy wing at a dive bar. My “safe” flavor is medium buffalo. I don’t want to always want to get the medium buffalo drums and flats but sometimes its appropriate for the setting. In the beginning of 2013, I decided that I no longer wantedContinue reading “Safe Choices”

There are times I just want wings so bad that I will eat whatever is available. Saturday night, I settled for lackluster wings. I met someone at Flat Iron for a drink before hitting a circuit of social engagements together. I hadn’t eating anything so I thought it would be a good idea to grabContinue reading “Never Settle”

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”
