Thrillist MinneapolisThe owners of chicken stop :D-Spot are apparently huge early Tony Shalhoub fans, as they recognize that the only thing better than wings is more wings, and are opening a second locale with 48 new varietals to supplement their original 85.
They've essentially turned a former pizza shop on its head -- not physically, it still looks exactly like a pizza shop, and pizza shops don't have heads -- but they've done away with pies in favor of cinnamon roll-style pizza rolls, and made the main event crazy wing styles like:
MPG: These puppies are doused in an ultra-heavy sauce made with (and this is gonna sound crazy, but...) braised short rib & veal stock reduction held together with mashed potatoes that've been "fondued".
The Great White Buffalo: This guy bolsters the normal sauciness with cream and both fried and roasted garlic, so don't expect to make out with all the girls you normally would after eating buffalo wings.
Shinmoedake: "Sick and wrong spicy", this mother uses a house-blend soy simple syrup, oyster sauce, hoisin, Thai chili, and ghost chili, so it'll pass right through you.
