His Virginia Beach restaurant, J & K Style Grill, is known around the region for its crispy jumbo wings fried to order and spiced up with the shop s trademark Kenyata or Georgia Red sauces. Wings make up as much as 40 percent of what he sells at his restaurant.

Oh no, say it ain t so!
After suffering a freak winter storm and rolling power outages, most Texans were hoping to avoid further statewide issues of supply. And it was going so well, until the Great Chicken Wing Shortage of 2021 struck.
As someone who loves chicken wings more than the average person, this news is truly disheartening. I ve always been one of those people who just doesn t believe you can ever eat too many and the last thing I want to do is relive 2011 (Yuck!). True enough, it s no one s fault (except maybe, ahem, ERCOT) but still, my feelings are valid.
