I can’t think of a single food item that has dropped in demand.

In this case it was once a very cheap item. It is a great case of supply and demand

My three year old eats these when I order them...

Pluckers fire in the hole was too hot for a bunch of wings.

But mixed with bakers gold it was deeeeelightful.

Listen fig, the hoodest places you can go to are the least spicy and they are all run by indians and their best seller is Lemon Pepper Mild with a 32 Oz KickaPoo punch.

The hood wing spots in Memphis are still great and definitely not run by Indians

I like Wild Wing. Wing Factory and Clays are good in Buckhead/SS.

I don't like Taco Mac because they don't have a true buffalo sauce like OP seems to want, even mild ones. I should smell your buffalo sauce outside in the parking lot.
