Ba-Da Wings, a former Chapel Hill wing place (one of two locations), recently moved in literally around the corner from my house. My thoughts:
1) It is in a seemingly cursed building that has already gone through 3 different restaurants in the 2 years I’ve lived nearby, including an amazing Mexican restaurant, a great Cajun place, and a so-so BBQ joint. Good luck.
2) The hottest wings are the “Bam” variety. It’s not exactly hot. In fact, I’m pretty sure you could pour this into an infants eyes and they wouldn’t notice. I don’t want to drown my wings in hot sauce. I want BaDa Wings to do that for me.
3) After watching my vegetarian roommate turn green and get sick on the sidewalk 15 minutes later, it became clear that the Portabella Wrap had gone past its due date. While I’m well aware that this is a wing place, it should at least be able to serve the growing minority of vegetarians in this town a freaking mushroom sandwhich that never hits pavement.
4) Kudos on the takeout container. Now THIS is how you bring wings home to your family/dogs/rowdy hungry friends:
Kabloooieeee!....not.

I went on their website to find out more information, only to find out that they carry 22 different wing sauces. 22! What ever happened to places with quality wings and one or two sauces? I can’t stand going to wing joints, such as Buffalo Wild Wings, who serve you shitty, small, dry wings and then cover them in one of their 39334348939473 sauces. Come up with a mind, medium, and a hot version of your sauce and call it a day.
Seriously. I mean, I like variety. BWW has a lot of variety, but they also have spicy sauce. None of these places come close to Sweetwater Tavern, however.
