The first Wingstop has come to Wales – and I got a taste of the menu ahead of the grand opening. The hugely popular American fast food chain is the latest addition to Cardiff's Chippy Lane, located just outside the Brewery Quarter.
It will open on Monday, May 29, and has replaced the former Busaba, a Thai restaurant that closed down after little more than a year. For anyone unacquainted with Wingstop the clue is in its name.
It specialises in chicken wings – including boneless wings – which are freshly hand tossed and sauced in 10 distinctive flavours. These range in spice intensity: on the milder end of the scale you can get Hawaiian, garlic parmesan, and lemon pepper while on the hotter end you'll find spicy Korean Q, mango habanero, and the extra fiery 'atomic'.
