Hi there.
Hope I am doing this right Robert.
Thanks for your advice, as I am fairly new to this forum.

I am asking for anyones opinion on where to find the best chicken wings while I am vacationing in D.R. Or,,better yet, are there ANY good chicken wing places.
Nothing better than a couple of beers and some nice "hot" wings.

Thanks in advance to all who may have some input.

I came here to live from Buffalo, NY, home of the chicken wing. Trust me, on the North Coast, there is NO place that makes them like the original.

Jose' O'Shay's in Cabarete attempts Buffalo style wings but not quite as good as Anchor Bar in Buffalo!

When most of the USA serves ranch dressing instead of bleu cheese for dipping, I think the rest of world hasn't caught on... I'm from Buffalo.... give me anchor, duff's, colter bay and la nova any day... perhaps this could become the frranchise thread currently running in the business forum with all the expats on the north coast..

I love buffalo wings and in every single place I have tried them in the DR, I ask. . . . . .are these things REALLY buffalo style? They always say yes. Heck in Pate De Palo they were like fried wings with ketchup. . . . .yuk.

Unfortunately the best "buffalo" wings I have had in the entire country. . . . .is at TGI FRidays in santo domingo. That is pretty sad.

Even a Hooters would be better. Right on the Malecon in between the Jaragua and La Ceniza is the place for a Wings place. Great location, view of the sea. . . . .until they build an Island out there. . . . .

Maybe a hooters in Malecon center? Tony Roma's has wings but they are "OK", better than 99% of the places in the DR but not great.

Chapions in the Jaragua has hot wings but they are more "Texas style". Fried wings with sauce on the side.

I used to bring down jars of Frank's hot sauce and make wings in my apartmen t when I lived in SDQ. I may just have to do that again. . . .

I looked into the Hooter's franchising because of this wings thing... they want you to start up 3 at a time. Ideas for two other locations?

Have not had them in awhile - but Hemingways in Playa Dorada used to have great wings. Comparable to the BW3 (Buffalo Wild Wings) I used to work at in college.

Forget the franchise. . . ."rip em off like a dominican company would". . . ..Eagles is a Hooters wannabe and they used to have "Booties" with a logo similar to Hooters... . .

Seriously if you have good wings, philly cheese steaks, american style bar food and hot waitresses in a great location you can call it anything you want. . . .

I vote for "Gringo's Bar and Grill".. . . .

BTW isn't there a Hard Rock Cafe opening in the Colonial zone this fall? Their wings are "ok" as well. . . .

The wings at Hemingways, in my opinion, are just fried wings and nowhere near Buffalo style.

You will find all the yummy wings you need at Cafe Cito. The extra spicy hot ones leave me speechless for 30 minutes after I've eaten them and Nicky always asks me why I do it to myself but the answer is that they taste so damned good.

Cafe Cito is opposite Playa Dorada.

They were also doing chips with gravy recently - is it called "poteen"? - anyhow well worth a side order!
