We walk right by the hostess, some of our friends are already here. We zig-zag through tables, booths, and waitresses picking up bits of conversations here and there. Finally, towards the back we see our group. A hand goes up signaling our seats. Everyone else has already ordered, we’re a little late. I slide into the cushy booth right next to my friend.
We signal the waitress, there’s no need to look at a menu; you’d have to be stupid not to order 40 cent wings on wing night. We put in our orders and now we wait. Since we’re a large group I know I won’t be eating in the very near future so I settle in and start people watching. A stocky man resembling George Castanza from Seinfeld walks by carrying a plump baby dressed in pink. I notice a couple on what appears to be their first date. Both fidget a bit in their seat and dart their eyes around the room. Both smile a lot and I can scarcely hear nervous laughter. All I could think of was how incredibly difficult it is to look attractive while eating chicken wings.
Finally, our wings arrive. I pick up one slimy little wing with the utmost care (in the beginning I always try to keep my fingers clean but in the end it doesn’t matter). I jut my teeth out as far as they’ll go trying not to get any sauce on my face. I peel off a crunchy layer of skin. The taste of parmesan garlic explodes into my mouth. One of the best combinations I’ve ever had. I love wing night at Buffalo Wild Wings.
