Hangin out at Wingnuts with a nut

I haven't seen my friend Andrew in years. So it was really cool finally meeting up with him for some good grubs. You know how you have certain friends who you know just eats really good. That's kinda how I feel about Drew. He's got good food finding skills.

Well after UCLA blasted LSU (my plug to say 'GOOO BRUINS!'), Andrew took me to Wingnuts for some chicken wangs. Now I like to think I'm a mad woman for food. But when Andrew started telling me about the Pile High Club for Wingnut fanatics, I consider myself a mild food mad woman. See he has this card and for every wing you purchase you get a wing point. If you eat 2500 wings, you get a plaque. For 5000, you get a bomber jacket. Andrew's goal is to get a bomber jacket. Crazy, I know. Right now he's like at 2000.

They have all sorts of other stuff to eat at Wingnuts other than chicken wings. Plus over 20 flavors of chicken wings. I think I would of been like a lost woman at a Nordstroms shoe sale if I didn't have Drew to guide me to the good stuff. He ordered...and ordered fast.

Fresh fried chips were really yummy. It's like warming up a bag a Trader Joe's chips...but way better.

The Cajun wings have a glowing dry rub.

Chili garlic wings...were messy...but good.

Like my dislike for guacamole, I also dislike blue cheese and ranch. I know. Andrew gave me a "what is wrong with you look" when I told him. Instead, I doused the wings with Tabasco. I was still happy.

Hey, that's a pretty cool card system. I thought they only did that for like Sanrio and Boba shops haha.

Those chips look hot. Were they like kettle chips? So good.

I too, would just eat the wings with tabasco sans ranch and bleu cheese. I'm not one of those people that can eat pizza with ranch either. *shudders*

Dylan...I think a card system racking chicken wing points is dangerous for people, say like my friend Andrew. I find it insane that he has 2000 points. Anyways, the chips were yummy. Yea...fresh kettle chips! They were really good. And fight on about the non-ranch lifestyle. Did you see people bringing in their own bottle of ranch at the Commons??? Caaarazy!

Matt Bites! I just read your blog yesterday. Can I tell you how much I love your style? I love your photos!

Kirk...haha. I need a sushi fix! Darn you!
