replying to u/Informal_Egg_3907: I'm right there with you. korean wings are delicious but traditional buffalo wings have been a hard find. i really enjoyed "the chippery" in EV, even though they are known for their fish and chips. dan and johns was a major MEH for me and really expensive.
“So if you're like me, and it's all about the perfectly cooked meat (the sauce just isn't what I'm there for, sauce is for dipping fries in for me), go with Turntable or Pelicana in Manhattan.”

replying to u/Final-Ad-6694: You’re stretching if you’re calling that a 5 course meal. Idk if you eat Korean fried chicken often but $38 pp is absolutely expensive relative to others. Why would saying that be insensitive. Side note - their tteokbokki was worse than off the shelf hmart
