 You apparently have never tried *Excuses* ...26th and Carson St.
 South Side.....They don't use that wimpy *Redhot* sauce that so many
 others pass off as hot wings,...these are BLACK.....Three grades
 Mild, Hot and Excuses.....and on Wednesdays and Fridays,
 they are only a dime.

 It looks like everyone's neglected my two favorites:

       Hotlicks - I go to the one on Walnut in Shadyside.  They're
       not buffalo wings, but the thick black barbeque sauce on
       these is more addictive than any other sauce I've found.
       Try the "Zebs Screamin' Killer Willer" sauce.

       Fat Heads - A reasonably new place on Carson St. (around
       18th street I think).  The wings are big and well cooked,
       and they have a large array of sauces to choose from.
       The hottest two are habanero-based and incredibly good
       tasting.  Even their hottest two cayenne-based sauces
       are almost hot enough, and the "Beastie Barbeque" has
       a really unique, sweet flavor.  Best of all, with what
       is probably Pgh's best beer selection, there's plenty of
       good stuff to wash 'em down with!
