Look.

I love espresso martinis and I love wings

I don't even think as separate entities they go together

This is an abomination

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I don't know if this particular iteration of this is good, but I can see at least the start of a good idea here

I don't know exactly what's in their wing rub, but I'll bet it's probably along the lines of salt, pepper, chili powder of some kind (probably cayenne,) garlic & onion powder

Coffee has a fairly similar flavor profile to dark chocolate

Chocolate and chili peppers is a pretty classic combination, think along the lines of a Mexican hot chocolate

And salt also goes well with chocolate, and a tiny pinch of salt is a common hack to cut the bitterness of coffee.

The garlic/onion powder and any other herbs/spices in there are kind of the oddballs, they're definitely going to pull things more towards the savory end of the spectrum, but things like coffee-rubbed steaks are a thing, and sweet & savory combinations are a thing, so I'm not immediately horrified by that concept.

Again, don't know if this particular version is good, but I think someone somewhere out there could probably make a good version of this idea.

pureeing random shit and separating it out in a explody-spinny-thing lets you extract flavors without getting all the solids.

I'm not sure I would trust BWW with a giant lab grade centrifuge though. that seems like a recipe for world-ending consequences.

Who still eats at these chains nowadays? The quality of the food is absolute garbage for the money now.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

No idea, but whenever I drive by the Kelsey's near me on a weekend night it's packed. I really don't get why anyone would eat there. It's not any cheaper than independent restaurants.

That's it. Capitalism has gone too far!

We can only hope that supply outpaces demand.

Let it go. Even farther and don't come back...

Chick-nobyl! 5000 wings, 10,000 beaks, a pallet of dipping sauces, airdropped ranch and two of the sickest, saddest celery sticks you've ever seen!

Who was asking for this?

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

No thank you. I only drink vegan gin.

Failing Buffalo Wild Wings gets free publicity by pulling viral stunt!

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Contrary to the popular saying, not all publicity is good publicity.

This is not only a keto thing, I've heard that doctors who prescribe ozempic recommend to take protein supplements.

Ah, yes, the ol' puke+diarrhea multi-flavor banger, and chock fulla mystery texture.

Genius. 😬
