    Since that post:

    Man city's champions league ban was overturned, b dubs is getting crushed by COVID-19 shutdowns,

    Let's hope history repeats.

    Dallas-headquartered....

    I remember some kid behind the counter of the one by my house started arguing with me about my Rockets cap. "You gon have to take that cap off". I just told him to shut up and keep frying wings after we got into a verbal fight about the Rockets and Mavs. lol. This was back around 2004-2008 sometime, I think. I've never been inside a Wing Stop since.

    Well, ok, there was that one other time ... but that was it.

    Most of their wings are perfect for keto although quality has seemed to decline.

    I remember when BW3 was actually good.

    Bonus points for anyone who knows what that third W stood for back in the day.

    It opened in '98 iirc, so '99ers wouldn't know.

    First one in Houston, the owners were straight from Columbus Ohio, and were ridiculous Buckeye fans.

    lol. The only reason I know that is because I googled it years ago when trying to figure out why everybody called it BW3 and nobody could tell me. I remember it's some kind of bread or something.

    It's some sort of dense potato? roll that that is popular in Buffalo or Ohio or somewhere like that.

    eta: boom, google tells me it's basically a Buffalo kaiser roll https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser_roll#Variations

    Yeah... Wingstop or BW3 aren't anywhere I'd go anymore anyway... I do recall when BW3 was good though, unfortunately it fell off.

    That's funny on the Wingstop story regarding the hat though and that time period for the Mavs, lol (aside from the Rockets series.... That sucked)

    BWW is by far the absolute worst “restaurant” I’ve ever been to in my life and why people insist on going there is beyond me.

    I remember I ordered a drink with tajin on the rim and they came back with what seemed to be like paprika.

    All the employees can’t remember the orders and takes like 40 minutes for a 10 piece.

    I could sit here and rant about this place all day, but I digress lmao.
