So this post was specifically asking for something and you want to come in here and be a homebody and shit on my specific question? Aite man, you do you, I'm gonna go enjoy myself.

Oh and side note - I just checked my grocery store prices for wings (store brand, bulk) and the pub I used to go to is still running their special of $0.60 per wing. That's the same price as the bag of lower quality grocery store wings, already prepared and served to me, in the specific environment I want to be in, but please continue to tell me how much more fun I'd have doing the exact opposite of the thing I asked for information about.

I’m outside Hartford and we were at $330 until preschool, then dropped to $275. That said, it was among the cheapest we found. Majority were much more. Having 3 kids, cost was a major factor.

Ah yes… sitting in a dimly lit room with loud music, sports on TVs that I don’t care about, surrounded by drunk strangers, eating possibly food safety contaminated wings that got fried in a frier that probably hasn’t had its oil changed in weeks and cheap( probably paying $4 for a bud light) beer…. Man that sounds so much better than popping wings in an air fryer, sitting on my comfortable furniture m, watching a show that I want… what the fuck was I thinking.

It's not a great deal compared to what things used to be like, but the Hop Knot in Portland has fantastic wings for what you pay - which is closer to the $1 per wing price point. That being said, there's a place by me in Hamden charging over $15 for a dozen, so it could be worse.

If you've been to a Hop Knot, don't get discouraged by the pretzel themed menu - they absorbed the White Dog Cafe and kept the wings from that menu because of how good they were.
