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.
