FOOD & DRINK

Sometimes a restaurant’s success hinges as much on its name as it does the food it sells. Sure, the quality of the food is what keeps customers coming back, but often it is the name that pulls hungry visitors through the door. These names can be outlandish and even cringy-inducing, but in the name of restaurant marketing, it’s whatever works. One particular restaurant, which opened not long ago back in October of 2022, is opening a second location in metro Phoenix. Serving up all kinds of chicken wings and flavorful goodness, the new location will be primed and ready to go for the upcoming college football and NFL seasons.

Every once in a while, Arizona, and more specifically metro Phoenix, is selected as a launching point for a new enterprise from an existing company.
