7 Takeout Options for the Big Game

The Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday. The game is between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. But for many of us, the real competition is between the snack table and the beer fridge. We implore you to not try to handle all the food needs of Super Bowl Sunday at the grocery store, since you’re worth more than your favorite dip. You’re worth more than the veggies you feverishly cut up right before Charlie Puth sings the Star Spangled Banner. Restaurants all over the Twin Cities are hurting right now, and there is no doubt that immigrant-owned restaurants are hurting even more. Throw some business to a great local restaurant and dive in. We recommend you pull up for air to take in the Bad Bunny performance, and then dive right back in for some third-quarter snacking!

Top 5 Twin Cities Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are the perfect food to argue about. Pizza is too factional; people are set on their preferences, and little can be done to shake them. Sandwiches are too subjective, and some clever fool will say, “well is a taco a sandwich?” and then I have to get into a physical fight, which is always rough. But a chicken wing is not easily categorized, and a good one can win you over even if you didn’t expect to like it. For instance, I’m generally iffy on dry rub wings. I like a saucy wing. But I have to admit that after years of cajoling from my friend Martin, I loved the Burger Dive dry rub, and I wish I had tried it earlier. Similarly, I generally don’t like the full wing; I like the flats and the wings to be separated. But the full wing treatment from Ray-J’s in Northeast and Woodbury is a celebrated wing for good reason. So, there’s room for everybody in a chicken wing discussion. The five chicken wings I recommend are top-tier options, but there are always more to recommend. I still haven’t tried the wings at Soul Lao, I can tell you the pickle wings at Bunny’s are worth a visit, and D Spot is the wing-lovers capital of the Twin Cities, but I didn’t personally find a flavor that landed in my top five. With those caveats out of the way, I present to you the Top 5 Chicken Wings in the Twin Cities according to my chicken-wing-loving self.
