The Rules of the Ratings
Every round of Buffalo Wings is reviewed specifically on the criteria below. All have been selected by a Buffalo Wing expert (that would be me!) as the most important aspects in enjoyment of this delicious dish. This is a serious business.
- The specs – Are they double jointed, single jointed, flats or drums? RATING 10, 7, 5, respectively.
- The sauce - Authenticity. genuine buffalo? That mean Franks Red Hot and butter et al. Are they (horrifically) described as Buffalo but, instead, are actually Korean BBQ or something else? RATING 0-10
- Crunch – Oven baked and soggy? Floured and deep fried? Battered (!)…? RATING 0-10
- Serving size and price/Value for Money? 6 wings? 12? This category will inevitably correlate closely with the specs. 6 or fewer flats per serve is unjust; 12 double jointers is a feast! RATING 0-10
- Heat/spice level. Too hot is bad. Not hot, also bad. "Three Bears" scoring system applies here – too hot, not hot enough, Just Right. RATINGS 0-10
- Flavour. Simple: Do they suck? Do they rule? Do they demand multiple servings? Do you never want to eat them again? RATING 0-10
- Celery: Was there Celery sticks? RATING Yes, 5. No, 0.
- Dipping Sauce: Blue Cheese? 5. Anything else (including ranch dressing with blue cheese in it), 0.
- Other Stuff: Venue ambience. Service. The Taplist (is there IPA?) RATING 0-10
