If the name sounds familiar, then you probably saw Smitty's Wings and Things on Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." This restaurant is owned by a pair of college sweethearts who got married and are now living the dream owning one of the best wing restaurants around. You'll find traditional options like hot wings, and honey-bbq, as well as more unique offerings like mango chipotle habanero. Plus, you have the option for some pizza if you're feeling it. Any way you go, you'll understand why this spot was inducted into "Flavortown."

Like any good sports bar should, Port City Sports Bar is home to some great wings, with one reviewer calling them "to die for." While we don't advocate going that far, their wings are definitely worth going out of your way for. In addition to standard hot wings, they also offer teriyaki, Memphis sweet wings, cayenne pepper, plus their VIP variety, the Hennessy wings. In case one person in your group is inexplicably not into wings, they are also known for their pizzas and sandwiches.

A sushi bar is probably not the first or even second place you'd think to go when you're craving wings. However, you'd then be missing out on something special if you didn't try Misaki. There's only one option, but what the menu lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in quality. The Hos Bee Wings are battered, deep fried, and seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper, and jalapeno. Once you dip them in the crack sauce, you've tasted heaven.

Wings may typically be thought of as an American food, but many other cultures have adopted them into their cuisines just as we have with many international flavors. Case in point, Dave Wong's restaurant has a top-notch chicken wing option on their appetizer menu that is awesome. The Thai Chicken Wings are seasoned with spicy chili and cilantro, and they are incredible. The wings are also further proof that merging culinary traditions can yield some pretty fantastic results.

Thai Me Up is another restaurant that has taken a traditionally American dish and found a way to make it both unique and delicious. Look on their extensive tapas menu and you'll find chicken wings covered in your choice of three mouth watering sauces: garlic, Tom Tum Glazed, or basil. On second thought, maybe order all three varieties because it's too hard to choose just one. Whichever way you go, you've definitely chosen wisely.
