I love that now that now that millenials and zoomers run the world, everything is responded to with jokes/memes. Like, if we're all going to be destitute, underpaid and overcharged for everything in life, with the world on the brink of total collapse, we might as well make dumb jokes from official accounts cause fuck it.

Claddagh's wings are not objectively terrible though, they are considered by many people that I know as having good to great wings -- what you received does not sound like par for the course. and their sauce is not really how you described it. I don't work for, or have any connection to them, but I just think it's showing that your small sample size is problematic. You even said you remember them being better.

These are bars pushing out wings that you are reviewing, not michelin star restaurants, the cooks often change, have an off-night, or due to volume or other factors they can vary in quality as you should know (but apparently don't understand) since you eat enough wings. It goes back to my original comments that when it comes to wings you are going to get a variance when it comes to things like crispiness or how well sauced they are. I am a regular at Don't Know and have eaten their wings for the last 10+ years and have had many an off-night there, yet you praise them. If you had gone on an off-night you would have dumped on them. The fact that you don't even see this reinforces my point.

It's hilarious how defensive you are getting over my light criticism of your ranking methodology, maybe you should review Snickers' because you sure could use one.

Were any other improvements made in the area regarding stop lights? Often times city stop lights and intersections do not align and it backs up traffic tremendously throughout, so I can understand when people cut along side streets.

Oh, oh! I have a question for you regarding Waze specifically: Do you guys communicate with Waze or any of the local volunteer editors? Aggressive routing like this can sometimes be mitigated by updating metadata of intersections on the map. Obviously it often makes sense to close through traffic like in this case, but perhaps sometimes there are map tweaks that can be made to help alleviate smaller routing problems.

Great update. I haven't been to Wet City in a few years. Bummed to hear their food has fallen off.

I was thinking about you when I went to Joe Squared on Saturday. Good wings cooked well but they sauce appeared to just be slopped on after.

What's the process to have your street closed to thru traffic? GPS constantly tries to route semi trucks down our narrow street with tight corners, which has caused several trucks to hit resident vehicles or get stuck and have to reverse back down the street and risk more damage. People also think it's a shortcut and fly down the road like they're drag racing. One of my neighbors' kids is going to get run over if we don't get some traffic calming or completely close it.

There is a big difference between executing correctly and replicating consistently and that’s why you’re wrong. If you think claddaugh is great, why do they get a pass for a night where they are objectively terrible? Shouldn’t their internal standard be great? It’s hilarious that you’re just willing to chalk up lack of standards as an off night.

I’m glad for you that you eat a lot of wings. Do a ranking of your own please.
