Food Tour 50 to 100: The Bern's x The Blind Goat Collaboration | Dry Rubbed Wings

          

 Bern’s-inspired chicken wing special available at The Blind Goat (4106 Henderson Blvd) for one week only, September 6-12.

Checking out the Berns x Blind Goat wing collab this week. You have 3 more days to check it out if you are interested. 

Dry-Rubbed Wings, seasoned with Bern's signature onion ring spice blend, served with Larceny BBQ Black Truffle Ranch, made from Chef Chad's recipe.

The wings are first come first serve. We went on Tuesday and they were infact sold out and we had to come back! 

I did check as well beforehand, the wings are baked not fried and the dry rub is gluten-free. 

So, here is my review. I absolutely appreciated the fact that someone got back to me and xonfirmed the ingredients werw gluten free. They also confirmed the wings were baked (and dull disclosureit was questionable between baked or fried or grilled because they werw over cooked). 

I thank that person who got back to me though to confirm that the seasoning was gluten-free. The first night we went at about 8:45pm and they had sold out of wings.

We went back again the next day; The wait for 2 orders of wings was about 40 minutes around 3pm. We got them, and they were loaded with seasoning, and they looked emaculate. 

Unfortunately, they were overcooked to the point where the actual protien was mostly destroyed. I could taste the seasoning, but they were so hard to eat because these wings were what we would say "fried hard" and I guess I don't know if that is a Southern colloquialism, but they were too hard for me to chew. My husband had almost all of them. For the hype, they were just ok and I can't say if they would have been better if they were not overcooked because I only had them one time. It hard to come back from overcooked food than undercooked as well when it comes to wings.

I will never know becauae it was a one time thing and both of our orders were overcooked. I did appreciate the heavy seasoning, I just wish it could have made more of a difference because it kind of was crumbling when I was trying to eat.  

So, other notes, I do think the actual grade of chicken could have been better, but that is preference. I was glad to try them, I love wings and a lot of times no one makes them gluten-free and not fried so I appreciated it.
