Wing Stop ranch can be freaking amazing, literally the best I've ever had, but it's made in house from scratch, so sometimes you get a bad batch. Sadly, it sounds like that's what happened here. Definitely worth giving it another chance.

[@yonpark6245]

💯. Wing Stop is way better than BWW, and esp their ranch.

[@ronnieswanson2908]

Yup!

[@JeffKelly03]

They also have BY FAR the best bleu cheese dip I've ever had. I love BWW, but I'm firmly Team Wingstop almost exclusively because of how good the bleu cheese is.

[@AndSaveAsManyAsYouCan]

Buttermilk Ranch is the ONLY REAL RANCH. Also, adding ranch, blue cheese, etc ruins the wings. If you have to dip the wings in other stuff, order better wings.

[@roymeyer6837]

Completely agree. And also depending on the location and the wings they got from their supplier, a lot of times their wings are big and meaty, with a good amount of sauce. I think the ranch quality is also location specific. But their bleu cheese is consistently one of the best anywhere.

[@jefffrank3173]

Wing Stop's Hot Buffalo Wings with their ranch is the closest I've ever had to wing perfection. Maybe they make their ranch better in Texas than in Alabama, but it is truly delightful. And the wings at our local Wing Stop must be from Goliaths' chickens, because they have tons of meat on them! I'm from western New York originally, and the only chain wings and ranch I've ever had that were better than Wing Stop were at the original Wings 'N More in College Station, back in the day. Thanks as always for the Bless Your Rank; it was fun to watch!

[@AB-dw2op]

When I lived in Waco I would make weekly trips to Wingstop, and it was my highlight of the week lol. It was either the college poverty talking or you're right, Wingstop hits different in Texas.

I think it’s worth giving Wing Stop another chance! You should eat them there and get their fries. They’re hand cut and the seasoning pairs so well with the sauces! And their ranch is typically delicious!

[@dvs620]

What was suspect to me is that the ranch affects the wings. How can you judge a wing by the ranch? I NEVER get ranch because I can handle heat and I think ranch is gross. And Wingstop would not have been 4th. I haven't had Hooters wings in over 10 years but he described it exactly how I remember it. No way that beats out Wingstop. Never had Zaxby's. BWW is probably the only one that would compete but I'm not sure I choose that #1 either. It's definitely top 2.

[@stevegilbert4130]

In the Red Bank area of Lexington, SC we have a Buck’s Pizza that had the best wings around. Unfortunately, but good for him, the owner finally was able to sell the franchise and retire. His wings were perfect, didn’t charge for dipping sauces and was fairly priced. The new folks jacked up the price, now have absolutely huge wings and the quality tanked. Tried them 3 times since the take over and will never go back. Not far away is a Zaxby’s and no matter how many times I’m told “Yes, we counted and there are definitely 10 wings in the box”. But I’ve never gotten more than 9 and a few times only 8, this is for a 10 wing order. Once when calling to tell them they once again showed my order they actually said “Sometimes that’s just the way it works out”. I once watched the folks at Zaxby’s give my take out order to a drive through customer. Took them almost 30 minutes to get my order. Plus the local Chinese buffets have better wings. A chain in Columbia, SC called Leo’s was the best ever 30 years ago or so. Sadly they went away and no one since has come close.

[@marinemikeusmc6529]

What is vsg surgery

[@EastSider48215]

I had VSG about ten years ago. I’m not sorry I had it, but I want to emphasize that they aren’t kidding around when they say to be very, very cautious when you start to eat solid food again. Take a single bite and then wait about 5-10 minutes until you take the second bite. Your stomach is a lot smaller than it used to be and it gets filled long before you stop being hungry. The pain from an overfilled stomach is excruciating and you will end up throwing up a lot if you overeat. Also, your stomach is a lot more sensitive and some foods you used to be able to eat will also be very painful. Like I said, I’m not sorry I had the surgery, but I wish I’d realized sooner how to live with my new digestive system.

[@GTMonica]

It took me a good six months before I could eat any type of fried food, it just sat like a lump and made me ill. I can now have about eight flats two years out. Good luck with your journey 😊

[@EastSider48215]

@@marinemikeusmc6529: Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. It’s a form of bariatric surgery that is less invasive than a bypass and has similar success rates. In essence, it reduces your stomach to about 15-25% and it also reduces whatever it is that produces a hunger-causing hormone, and the end result for most people is a significant weight loss, which in turn alleviates many of the illnesses associated with obesity: heart disease, diabetes, you get the picture. It’s not a walk in the park, though, and each person’s recovery and results are unique to their own health situation. But one thing is for sure: you never will be eating again the way you did before (that’s not a complaint - that was the goal). What took me a very long time to adjust to is accurately judge the amount of food I’m going to eat (about 1/4 of what I think I want - old habits die hard) and to eat very, very slowly. Once my tiny stomach is full, that next bite is extremely uncomfortable, and the one after that is excruciating and I have to force myself to vomit. But I learned and that doesn’t happen anymore.

We made arrangements to play Dungeons and Dragons at Wingstop. We were the only people in their party room. They only had two or three other customers while we had a half dozen people in our group buying food from them, so we actually gave them a significant bump in business while we were there. The last two times we went there, they cranked the music up in the party room to drive us out. The manager insisted they had no control over it except we actually watched her turn the volume up. None of us ever went back, even on our own. They had plenty of excellent flavors to choose from, but they were skinny. "Saucy bones" is an accurate description.

[@IndyGuy09]

Wingstop is much better than your experience. Their Louisiana rub is my favorite.

[@devinbuettgenbach2941]

Amen right here brother! Lemon pepper for me and mine, it's just so good to pair with a nice hard cider

[@godaistudios]

I like Wingstop, but not for their original hot wings. The Atomic packs a nice heat but the original sauce is a lot more vinegar based and it's a bit much. I'll eat them on occasion to change things up, but it's their other sauces that are really tasty.

Wingstop chicken isn't that good.. the best wings place I can think of is wings to go but idk how many are left

[@JustinClayton]

You should run through the Hot Ones gauntlet one video.

I loved your Super Troopers reference❤

[@drewpaulson1122]

I knew this wasn’t going to be a serious ranking when it started by pooping on blue cheese. My suspicions were confirmed just a few minutes in when BW3 was ranked ahead of Wing Stop.

One of my favorite memories was watching my young son be reduced to tears finishing Zaxby’s Insane Wings.

Happy New Year, Matt 🎉🎉 If you have an air fryer, the best wings can be made easily at your house. 390° for 20-25 mins. I always put a little ketchup in with my Crystals hot sauce. Most importantly- toss cooked wings in melted butter and Then in sauce - makes ALL of the difference. A lot of times, I end up eating mine with just the butter, they're That good cooked this way.

[@dolphinbear661]

Thank you kindly. I needed this info.

[@dr.markevers8331]

Air fryer wings is a cheat code… btw drumsticks work well too! Enjoy!

[@dolphinbear661]

I made these for New Years, just like you said, wowza, so perfectly crispy & balanced with the butter/Crystal mixture. I knew I could trust your judgement, cause Crystal is the ONLY acceptable hot sauce except homemade. Thanks again.

[@sissinoklahoma2057]

@dolphinbear661 that's awesome!!

[@MarkPowell-bz8em]

Hooters was my first buffalo wing experience and my favorite for a long time. Then I discovered Buffalo Wild Wings and had a new go to. Then I visited the Wild Wings Cafe in Macon Georgia. Wild Wing Cafe is now my 1st choice! I think they are a smaller chain just in the south but they are by far my favorite now!

[@GarySkadan]

You should rank types of beer I feel like you would make that so hilarious

[@livingsimplytosimplylive6817]

Oh my gosh the sign behind you has got me laughing out loud hysterically. “ I like pig butts, and I cannot lie…”

[@mattgipe84]

I stay for the heart felt messages, Matt! ❤ 😂

[@morrius0757]

fun fact since you mentioned saucy bones, the origin of what could be considered hot wings can be traced back to something called deviled bones, I learned that from the Tasting History YT channel.

[@JakobKaine_BrickJAK]

As a Buffalo resident, I'll just say that it's okay to be wrong about blue cheese dressing and wings. We understand you've been poisoned by Chick Fil'A and Papa John's for so long that your taste buds are beyond repair. We still love you, Matt. At least you put the right national chain in first place. Though the only people who do chain wings up here are tourists and the college kids who haven't had a local show the the GOOD places yet.

[@melissacooper8724]

I've learned how to make my own Buffalo wings at home. I actually like them better than any restaurant because I usually pick the meatiest wings, bake them in the oven, then drench them with Frank's Wing Sauce. No one else likes Buffalo wings so I usually eat them!

[@lastcoupe73]

Yes!!! This is exactly how I do it too! Wings should not be breaded or fried! ❤

[@lorenstribling6096]

Have you tried an air fryer? Makes really crispy wings.

[@joepauly2311]

If they have breading, they are NOT buffalo wings. It's just fried chicken with sauce.

[@nolawarren3560]

So so so true

[@camdenharper7244]

Yes

[@txjayhwk]

Next season, Matt should rank SEC teams weekly in a Bless Your Rank format.

[@markwicker2664]

There are Pizza Hut Classic restaurants (in the old-style buildings) that bring back many of the things we used to love about The Hut.
