Where should I go for the best wings when I come to your state??? PS - here's the link to get 50% off your first box from Factor (use code REVUE50): bit.ly/465dxwC

[@TheGrillSergeant]

Try Howlin’ Rays in Pasadena California! Probably the spiciest chicken I’ve ever had. Juicy and crispy too! The original restaurant is in Chinatown LA which has more reviews.

[@ebracewell]

Coach’s Corner in Savannah, GA. Great wings and vibes.

[@jackass1189]

Two spots for FL: Bethune Grill in Daytona Beach Candlelight South Restaurant in St. Augustine

[@jakebailey7176]

Buffalouies in Bloomington when you hit Indiana!!!

[@davidacocella4398]

Candlelight Inn in Scarsdale, NY

[@EvanLikesCake]

Adding eating wings with Sam Reid to bucket list, preferably the ones at a Taco Bell

[@danielromanelli271]

The ones at Waffle House are better

[@shanewittershicks6491]

The commentary, the rankings, the dedication, the suit, the anchorman references... This series is a 10/10.

[@therealsamreid]

Thank you!! 🙌🏼

[@danyribeiro7777]

Super impressed with the quality and turn around time of this video. Based on the games on the tvs behind you much of this being filmed in the last 5-7 days is SUPER impressive.

[@therealsamreid]

Thanks for noticing - I’m impressed you caught that!

[@themuffinman25]

these are review of highly rated wing locations, not sure why people would think some would score terribly.

[@WatermelonCat941]

As someone who lives in Norfolk, Dirty Buffalo Cajun Wings are basically my family's addiction, so I'm glad to see you liked them so much

[@matthewpordum4053]

Hands down, this is one of the most amazing series of videos I never knew that I truly needed to view in my life. BRAVO ! I can't wait to see how it all ends. You are a true champion !

[@MoonEnvoy]

I love the Savannah Bananas shirt. First The Darkness for Taco Bell, now this. Sam is truly a man of culture

[@bobbyzvitkovitz5965]

The Mid-Atlantic is very accurate description. I've lived my whole life here and it is commonly used for the region.

[@darkdevil399]

Once you make it to Illinois, you need to try this local, family owned and ran home in the wall spot called Chicken Lit in Naperville. I've never read wings like this anywhere in the country. They use a family recipe to batter and fry the wings, and provide all kinds of sauces on the side for dipping so you don't get soggy wings.

[@jbo8060]

Damn those wings do look good

[@jvalemi]

The PIC is goated!!!

[@tombosley3048]

Love the series Sam, keep it coming!

[@thewaffleofawsome]

Get this man more subscribers!! The content is always incredible and consistent. Keep up the good work brother

[@lilamay7426]

Sam your vids are one of a kind, I love your series and food reviews, they are like no other, you keep going man

[@julietaches926]

This guy should easily have half a million followers. The algorithm is failing. Great content, editing, sound. Sam even puts a suit on for heaven sakes!!! Wtf do you have to do??

[@tiny_mushroom9955]

Loving this series so far!!!

[@Slow_Poke]

Great video. Thanks for your work Sam.

[@ma_comps]

For North Carolina, I highly recommend Jimmy the Greek in Winston-Salem

[@delasoulful1]

heres another comment about how incredibly well-produced and detailed your videos are, and how clearly your time and effort shine through. great work man. if popularity and an upward trajectory of subs is your goal, stay the course!

[@oldschoolsolarpower8077]

I discovered your channel this week and have been loving it! So glad for a new upload!

[@christhecieraguy1388]

People want to complain about anything, they need to get over their stuff. You did a great job addressing the haters. Your wing reviews are the MOST in-depth ones I've seen! Keep it up!

[@jo3ywils0n39]

I love this series. It's like one bite pizza reviews but more depth.

[@dadjokesandoreos]

I started watching your channel after that taco bell video and now you are honestly one of my favorite content creators out there!! I love the authenticity and the commentary of your journey, it’s very captivating and I’m never bored watching your videos!!!

[@skitzonyt6738]

Glad I came by this channel I love the way you edit and they way you handle these videos and. How you explain thoroughly and smoothly thank you

[@surajranav2802]

Thanks for blessing us with this much awaited video!! Living in the DMV region, gonna try all of these in the next couple of months❤

[@CMKMarch63]

So happy to see that you went to Pic A Lilly’s in Shamong and you really enjoyed them ! Love your channel , Sam !

[@wayned5872]

I havent found anywhere in south jersey that beats the pic

[@kyledexter485]

Your videos are greats. Glad to see your channel growing. Keep up the awesome videos.

[@pavelshevchenko4848]

In my almost 15 years of KZbin experience, Sam should have been at a mil 6 months. Hope he blows up soon.

[@poststructure]

Really like your content, brother. Thanks for this. I was looking forward to it.

[@scatteredstraw]

Your content not only doesn't ever disappoint, but it somehow always exceeds my already high expectations. Thank you for all the work that you put into these, they're genuinely such a joy to watch!

[@MiguelGarcia-hb7cd]

This guy deserves every bit a views. I cant wait to see what restaurant wins this. You definitely have to visit Knuk-N-Futz in kentucky, best wings I've ever had.

[@mrdereksutton]

I live in Kentucky and would like to check this place out. Where is it?

[@MiguelGarcia-hb7cd]

@@mrdereksutton it is in Taylor Mill KY

[@ws8672]

Love seeing Norfolk winning this round! Dirty Buffalo is great!

[@joebob5482]

I love the vids I feel like the wing videos give us more time hearing you talk and letting your personality show really enjoyable!

[@coopys]

i am so deeply invested in your journey sam!! keep going

[@CardcaptorMaho]

If you ever decide to do a rerun of PA, please consider Center Street Grille in Enola. The place *looks* like a real hole in the wall, but they're home of really excellent restaurant grade food, AND their wings are highly rated; even consistently placing high in the National Buffalo Wing Festival each year!

[@jeremymorgan4779]

Hell yeah. They do not play about their wings there. Love them

[@YesItsCharlay]

Hmmm...gotta check this place out.

[@BriggsStratton11]

North Dakota: The Parrots Cay in Grand Forks has excellent wings! Great homeade buffalo sauce in many heat levels. Grand Forks is right on the North Dakota/Minnesota border, too, so you wont have to travel deep into the state.

[@BriggsStratton11]

Also, keep the suit.

[@RiegerNicholas]

As soon as I saw this series I knew he had to go there

[@sorkai2]

Thank you for those closing words, really needed it, love your work!

[@DannyBusch69]

Sam this is such an awesome series, always an instant watch whenever you upload. Keep it up, i'm here till the bitter end :D

[@BostonBlues]

It's a good day when i get to watch Sam eat wings

[@jeremymorgan4779]

Express Wings was indeed a majorly bad representation for Delaware. Before you said what you had chosen, my mind went racing with all the excellent possibilities it could be. But when I heard you mention Express, a location I live about 10 minutes away from, my heart completely sank. They are far from the top offerings the state has. As a life-long local, the two recommendations I'd make for DE are Miltonian Pizzaria & Wing House for Southern DE, and James Street Tavern for Northern DE. Both very distinct styles with amazing sauce flavors. Kid Shelleens is also a popular pick up north. But as I said there are many great choices. Oh well, maybe next time!

[@chrisnovak8782]

Came to the comments to see if anyone else recommended Kid's.... best wings in northern Delaware followed by Dom's Pizza in Newport.

[@Efinem3787]

great way to start my Friday. Quality content from Sam!!!

[@MsHannahFTW]

I screamed when I saw part two was out! This is such a cool idea and you are executing it perfectly!

[@kaylangee1894]

My hot take is that bigger wings are usually not better. They seem to get more gristle when they’re bigger. I usually prefer a medium size wing. Also Sam - we recently moved to Buffalo and can’t wait to see your adventures here!

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

Can't wait for your video

[@comickid05]

Welcome to buffalo!!! Hope you enjoy it!!

[@LandProductions2]

100% agree. Bigger wings are usually worse

[@KiellyLewis]

If you decide to come to the PNW, you definitely have to visit Vindicktive Wings in Seattle. The guys who own it are originally from Buffalo, NY and they are doing it right. Bonus: the bathrooms are Christmas themed.

[@comickid05]

OMG Thank you for this comment I am in WA now and from Buffalo, and been trying to find good wings here

[@saltylad6513]

Love this series!

[@fartboy2220]

Awesome to see you head to my hometown spot Odis 12 👍 really enjoying this series so far, thank you

[@_j0rd4n_]

anyone from south jersey? 👋🏼

[@wayned5872]

Yea

[@ilikepizzarollsowo8473]

I love this series man keep it up

[@nataliekate2176]

You always have the best content Sam! Keep up the great work.

[@wuk9109]

When you finally find yourself in Buffalo, please don't order ranch with your wings. As someone from the region, there is a non-zero chance they will spit in your food.

[@lobsterlarry6481]

Wait so could the chance be 1%?

[@chrispollock6966]

Eating wings in the basement at Dovers is one of the coolest experiences possible. The history and atmosphere are amazing, plus the wings are top-notch. Totally agree with you scoring breakdown and definitely look forward to watching the entire series. Well done!

[@FZR2STUN]

I am so glad Piper Inn is on the list for Denver!!!!! I can't wait for you to try the original sauce, so freaking amazing!!! 🤤🤤

[@snausageparty6404]

Sam you are a content genius. And you execute your ideas so well. Bravo 👏🏻

[@WarcraftPvPFilms]

This series is my youtube criterion collection

[@chadking464]

Dude!!! So happy you went to Picalilli! that was my childhood spot, whenever i go back to visit family in NJ i go there. Love that place man.

[@Dan24943]

Yay this series is continuing!

[@trevorfletcher6335]

Great video again Sam. One of my favorite channels!

[@zd9910]

having fun with the vid lol dont stress the negative comments, cool series man. insane to see you covered dirty buffalo in norfolk. went to that place all the time in college.

[@joshhan1214]

Great video Sam!!!

[@BrandonMorris88]

This is amazing.

[@minawadnizak]

I really love your videos!! ❤🔥

[@adamgould1427]

I watched literally every video This channel doesn’t get enough recognition So good ❤

[@R4V3N397]

Its criminal how underrated you are. The editing is soo good and hooks me in for every vid. Keep grinding!

[@dopiegg]

Hell yes! I've been waitin for your next video! SR Squad!

[@seel2884]

Pic-A-Lilli Inn is a South Jersey staple. Incredible wings. Great video!

[@noaahhhoke4012]

I can’t wait for the next episode!

[@landon390]

Love this!

[@casey8900]

So glad you got to sit in the basement at Drover’s. I should have mentioned that in my first comment. Solid review and I agree about the texture of their wings. Spot on

[@offensegaminghd1096]

LETS GO BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@JoshuaKovacs]

This series is amazing! When you go to Indiana, I recommend Between the Buns. It's in a town of 4,000 people, really nice dive bar small town feeling. The hotter than hot sauce will not be very hot compared to other wings sauces you've tried so far, but the flavor is really nice. Parking lot is always full.

[@adamhand77]

Love this series. Really appreciate the anchorman references. You should totally take this international. Foodbox, Park Island, Hong Kong has the best garlic soy chicken wings!

[@Landon.trippy]

That is a lot of wings indeed- Beautiful series

[@OliviaCaraa]

THE BEST WINGS I’VE EVERRRRR HAD - Epic Wings in Orange County, California! Literally by far the best…you seriously need to try them 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤤🤤🤤

[@blodyholy_]

You'll probably see a lot of suggestions for Jethro's BBQ in Des Moines for IA, but Blind Pig in Cedar Rapids and Big Grove in Iowa City are good, too. Great video!

[@MrXGames]

I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your content and you deserve the million+ subs you'll have one day.

[@aidgang]

Letssgoooo part 2 we're so backkk❗🖤

[@PopBROMOSGaming]

Man you always make some of the best content. Keep it radical.

[@Chocolatepain]

Good stuff!

[@jomanajoseph]

yeSSSS PART 2!!!!!!!! can't wait for part 3 woooooo

[@andrewstevens4475]

Top 10 all time channels, keep killing it Sam!!!

[@wavys2543]

you really do your job, dang. Glad MD wings got a decent score, enjoy the rest of your road trip dude!

[@Magicmann1323]

Let’s go been waitin 3 weeks for this series 😂😂 safe travels brother an make sure you come to northern Kentucky an go to hometown hero’s cool people/atmosphere an pretty great food !!

[@thaliagillott779]

Hey I'm like really stoned randomly eating wings and just found this, wanted to say thanks for making my Friday night

[@NevaReady]

I like the “When in Rome” joke.

[@andrewpfluger9642]

I love when you address the funny comments and people calling you out on random stuff. Always makes me laugh - people have such strong opinions about stuff that doesn't matter lol

[@Guitarmonade]

Had to take a peek at your spreadsheet since I saw IN pop up and glad to see the consensus so far is Ale Emporium. Hermanaki are my absolute favorite and the homemade Bleu Cheese is really good too.

[@MoonJiano]

great series! can’t wait to see rocky mountain area - please add fire on the mountain to your list for colorado if it’s not there already!!

[@E_Don]

This series is AWESOME!!! Please don't cancel it, homie!

[@therealsamreid]

No plans to cancel it! Just takes a while to plan each leg of the trip 😊

[@ryanpresser-palmer2617]

So dope!! I am from Erie!!! Glad to see Odis 12!!!

[@IamJoppe]

I love you sam ! keep on going, you are the best youtuber out here !!!!!!!

[@ijustwatchvids100]

Started watching a year ago and still feel that your vid’s are underrated. Keep it up man!

[@wheelspinproductions9214]

When you make your way to South Carolina, you absolutely HAVE to try the Spicy Pterodactyl wings from the Publick House in Columbia. My dad took me there a few years ago, and I was so blown away that I introduced my friends to this spot and it immediately became a weekly tradition because they’re so incredible.

[@stephenruh2474]

Dude all of your videos are so good idk how you don't have 10x as many followers as you do. I have a feeling you'll get there quick, though.

[@GREEN4LIENZ]

Ibar wings are amazing chef style 🔥🔥🔥

[@TaylorTheHater]

Part 2 yay

[@sammccosker2103]

The dedication is unreal. Sub to this man immediately!!

[@joemoney1396]

S/o from team WV! Love your channel Sam, keep them coming!

[@Snerts]

Wings are my favorite food. Subscribed. Can’t wait til you do Kentucky, Indiana and Texas!

[@LETTUCEWRAPS]

Mid Atlantic gang rise up!!!! Definitely checking out some of these spots. Thanks Sam!!!

[@JohnDiSalle]

Love this series! Hit Mommas Mustard, Pickles & BBQ in Louisville KY!!

[@nolankearney14]

NORTH CAROLINA- Taste of Buffalo Pizzeria in Huntersville NC. Get the Spicy Garlic Parm wings (they aren’t really spicy just a great wing) and get the classic Buffalo wing you won’t regret going here. Also don’t go on a Bills gameday, you won’t get a seat
