Wingdome: Menu & Wing Card

---

Finally recovered after spending almost the entire Saturday incapacitated primarily due to complications with my stomach from Friday night's gorging at the Wingdome over in Greenwood. Primarily ordering 150 wings and finishing it off with their devastating 7-Alarm really cleans you out. It has been a while since eating something that spicy, I had forgotten my tolerance had diminished over the years.

Finding the place isn't too hard, but finding parking on the other hand can be a hit-or-miss depending on your luck. The restaurant sports two garage doors that are opened during the warmer days in late spring and summer. A bright neon sign makes it easy to spot while driving along Greenwood Ave. The time we had to wait to be seated for 12 people wasn't too bad; roughly 45 minutes. A nice group of friends eating wings together. This place always seems to be packed no matter what day of the week or time of the day you come in, which is a good and bad thing. A cozy place, but you will find yourself pretty close to your neighbors on all sides. It can be a bit noisy but that comes with the crowd. The waitress was really great about everything, from checking on us frequently, separating our rather large order, and separating the bill. At the end of the meal they also give you a spicy cinnamon jawbreaker as opposed to the usual Andes mints most other venues provide.

After much waiting for our food, the main order of wings had arrived. Here's part of the 150 of the wings (100 pictured):




After eating as much of the wings we could, five of us ordered The 7-Alarm; possibly one of the spiciest wings you could find in Seattle. You will feel it whether you want to or not:



The chicken wings were small but tender. You'll find yourself burning through a lot of their napkins when handling the food. The 7-Alarm is definitely spicy as it is pricey ($1.99/wing) so I don't recommend eating it if you want to enjoy the rest of your night without frequent bathroom breaks. My friend ordered their popcorn chicken; some parts of which were very crunchy (inconsistencies when deep frying a lot of things) and was sitting in a pile of grease, but still enjoyable. Their garlic bread looked and smelled great, nothing different from what you would expect, the same goes for their waffle fries.

Normally I am not one to start events on a whim but seeing a /crave from Alex's Facebook comment from my previous trip there a few weeks before, along with Ana-Maria's enthusiasm motivated me enough. With a group of friends we partook of slowly killing our bodies with delicious spicy wings. Of the group of 12, only five of us were brave enough to consume that 7-Alarm.
