King of THINGS that make you go YUM
You wake up. You face the day. The day looks back at you, challenges your resolve, makes you want to crawl back in bed, forces you to search for a reason to be, forces you to reevaluate who in your world is KING, who you'd like to take on the WING and fly from or to -- and, most importantly, the thought we all have: what shall we eat today?
I order a lot of delivery food. I'm the mistress of delivery food, to be frank, and I have a giant history of orders that makes your average American bow out of the running for the race for Queen of Delivery Food. I have also been in the restaurant industry for years and years and (sigh, I'm tired) YEARS.
That said, King of Wings has been my go-to, my hero (sandwich order), my "I know it's too late/too geriatric/too antisocial to order from these guys YET AGAIN, but I know I will get great food at a great price and I must accept my dietary shortcomings" restaurant.
They charge for delivery, which is the ONLY reason I don't order from them every five minutes. That, and the unfortunate fact that I realize to be King of Wings in the true sense of the restaurant title I'd have to accept the King of Scales That Don't Register Your Weight denomination as well.
That said, these guys can work a wing. They can work a sandwich. They can work a soup (fresh like Mama made...sorry Mama...), a side, a soda, a pasta. They are, all around, my savior when I stumble home grey-headed and babbling from a night of drinking I swear I'll never repeat again (HA!) and need -- yes, NEED -- a fix from my go-to, my forever-friend, mi hijo sin quien no puedo VIVIR.
I am a tofu and veg kinda girl. And I am a pretty demanding customer, given my history in the industry. But King of Wings is my King of All Things Necessary, when need calls, when hunger calls, and the day they cease to be is the day I move to another town.
Cheers, guys.
