Wingporium

Wingporium is a small sports bar that serves wings, ribs, burgers and other pub food. When I saw the amount of flavors they offered I had to check this place out. When I arrived at the location on Islington just south of Bloor I was a bit skeptical because at the moment there is no sign on the front of the building although there were plenty of signs in the window display.  The inside was smaller than it looked from the outside with tables lining the walls and a few others clustered in the middle. The t.v.’s were all hanging on the walls varying in size and the large 70” t.v. to the right of the bar made up for the fact they didn't have a projector. 

               

                Because they do not offer a pint and a pound deal we decided to go on a Tuesday night when wings are on for $6.50 / pound with the purchase of a beverage. Other good daily deals are all you can eat wings on Monday for $22.99 / person and 2 pounds of wings and a pitcher for 24.99 on Sundays. On the menu they divide the 88 flavors and sauces into the typical groups: dry, mild, medium hot and suicide. Beside the flavors they indicate if they are a staff favorite  new addition, or a bestseller to help narrow down your options. This visit we tried the spicy maple glaze, interview with a vampire, all dressed and chipotle. If you’re a big fan of garlic and parmesan I recommend the interview with a vampire but my favorite were the spicy maple glaze. Although I was disappointed that they weren't as spicy as I was hoping, the maple glaze made the wing taste like it was wrapped in candy bacon. If you haven’t tried candy bacon I recommend you try it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5hqoFnGgiM 

                

                 The other awesome thing Wingporium offers that I think more places should is you can get any flavour wing sauce on an order of potato wedges. We ordered the interview with a vampire on ours and they may be the reason I come back.
