Wings Comparison #1

This entry will be my opinion of the wings at the Smitty's Lounge, at how they compare to the wings of the Pony Corral.

Comparison #1: PC's Teriyaki vs. Smitty's Teriyaki
No contest here. Hand's down my vote goes for Pony Corral. Much better all-round teriyaki taste.

Comparison #2: PC's "Suicide" vs. Smitty's "Killer"
This one was close. I'm gonna go with a tie on the spicy factor. Both flavors leave the lips burning pretty good. I give them both points. As far as taste goes, slight edge in favor of Suicide. Also, the Killer sauce was primarily chilis, like those you'd put on pizza. So props to Pony Corral for having a more unique sauce.

Another observation: the wings at Pony Corral have more breading, and therefore more mass. There is much more wing to each wing. Additionally, PC goes heavier on the sauce, for which I give them credit.

Bottom Line: If I'm served wings, I'll eat 'em and I'll enjoy 'em. With that said, Smitty's just doesn't measure up to the Pony Corral. I do give them points for the spiciness of their "Killer" wings, and also for having a 39 cent/wing deal on Tuesdays and Thursdays to match the PC. But given the choice, I'll take the Pony Corral anyday.
So the score stands at Pony Corral : 1 Challengers : 0. I'll have another comparison for you another time.

Well explained comparison Bernier, but I need to know how the salt & pepper wings stack up against each other.
