If you’ve noticed a steady uptick in the price of buffalo chicken wings from your favorite local bar or restaurant recently, you’re not alone. Thanks to a confluence of events, wing enthusiasts may be heading into some dark times.
According to several regional news outlets, a chicken wing shortage is underway, though the exact reason is a little hard to pinpoint. Some cite the coronavirus pandemic and the ensuing demand for takeout food prompting excess demand for poultry slathered in buffalo sauce, while others, like the National Chicken Council, say that a rough winter contributed to power outages and production problems at poultry plants. This exacerbated an overall demand for chicken that was already at a high following the introduction of popular chicken sandwiches from chains like Popeyes in 2019. All told, sales of wings were up 7 percent in 2020.

That’s sort of the point.
“It’s not meant to be that, or completely traditional or anything like that,” said Mark Bullis, who is a partner in the new casual restaurant in the Limestone Commons Plaza with Nathan Fullmer. “It’s a modern take, with a twist, or a couple of twists.”
That means while you will find beef, chicken, carnitas (pork) or steak carne asada burritos and bowls, you’ll also find items that are vegan. You’ll find a bowl made with ancient grains as a base instead of rice. There will be “impossible” items, with a plant-based meat substitute.
