You’re shitting me right? One of the easiest dishes on earth to replicate should be evaluated multiple times? Marco Pierre White says if you are good once you should be good a thousand times. I genuinely don’t care if you think this is flawed. It’s not.
Edit: I’ve lived here for 17 goddamn years and most of these places are not new to me. You couldn’t be more wrong.

Not shitting you at all. Considering how many shitty wings are being served out there I don’t see how you can say they are one of the easiest recipes on the planet. I eat wings all over and it’s rare to find a place who is consistent on how they come out, except for maybe Ibar. The fact that you don’t see this makes my comment even more valid. My friends and I who all eat a lot of wings go so far as to discuss consistency when judging places.
You’re more than welcome to disagree, but I stand by my original comment. Don’t take it personally, but the fact that you think going somewhere once and being some arbiter of wing rankings and then getting upset when someone disagrees is low key hilarious.

There is a big difference between executing correctly and replicating consistently and that’s why you’re wrong. If you think claddaugh is great, why do they get a pass for a night where they are objectively terrible? Shouldn’t their internal standard be great? It’s hilarious that you’re just willing to chalk up lack of standards as an off night.
I’m glad for you that you eat a lot of wings. Do a ranking of your own please.

Claddagh's wings are not objectively terrible though, they are considered by many people that I know as having good to great wings -- what you received does not sound like par for the course. and their sauce is not really how you described it. I don't work for, or have any connection to them, but I just think it's showing that your small sample size is problematic. You even said you remember them being better.
These are bars pushing out wings that you are reviewing, not michelin star restaurants, the cooks often change, have an off-night, or due to volume or other factors they can vary in quality as you should know (but apparently don't understand) since you eat enough wings. It goes back to my original comments that when it comes to wings you are going to get a variance when it comes to things like crispiness or how well sauced they are. I am a regular at Don't Know and have eaten their wings for the last 10+ years and have had many an off-night there, yet you praise them. If you had gone on an off-night you would have dumped on them. The fact that you don't even see this reinforces my point.
It's hilarious how defensive you are getting over my light criticism of your ranking methodology, maybe you should review Snickers' because you sure could use one.

I find it hilarious you are writing novels. Make your own quest and set your own boundaries pal. Kindly stop reading if you don’t like my methods.

I’m just commenting on a public forum, you’re the one who became defensive when I made an observation about my experience eating wings in the city. I didn’t personally attack your mother. I even said in my original comment that I didn’t expect you to make repeat visits, you just chose to latch on to other parts of my comment.

I also commented on a public forum that I think standards of quality matter and I don’t actually give a shit what you say.
