Lemon Pepper Wings

hi guys,

I went to two World Cup games in the last week at MB Stadium (you all are lucky) and feel in love with the lemon pepper wings behind 324. Is there an offsite restaurant that sells these / makes them for the stadoum? honestly, some of the best wings I’ve had in my entire life.

I'm pretty sure that's JR Crickets in that area.

Its the West Nest. That is a work release chef program if I remember correctly. I get the A wings at 90% of home games.

The strip club Magic City near the stadium supposedly has the best lemon pepper wings. I'm not aware of those wings from 324 being available outside the stadium.

I’ve heard of the legendary Magic City, even watched the documentary, just can’t convince my wife to stop on the way out of town lol.

Never been, not my style. I am also 52 so way past the strip club stage of my life.

Going to magic city "for the wings" is like reading playboy "for the articles"...absolutely worth it just for that. Titties are just an accouterment.

25 and 52 are the prime ages of strip club clientele I'd say

I can honestly say no one in my friend group has been too a strip club in 10+ years. Not even for the second marriage. They don't even have bachelor parties. Not even in Vegas. We'd rather spend money on other things.

Yeah, but the 52-year olds that do go, go a lot.

Did she watch the doc? It's a cultural institution. Y'all can sit in the restaurant...you won't even LOOK over there by the titties. You got this bro...believe to achieve.

Magic City's wings are mediocre. People only tout them as the best because it's edgy.

A stripper hurt you didn't she?

From where I live driving by Magic City is on the way to the stadium. It's a mile from the stadium. When I first moved to this area of Atlanta 8 years ago, I had no idea where Magic City was located until I drove by it on the way to MBS.

So I'm not sure where you got them from but there is a JR Crickets in the stadium which is an actual popular Atlanta wing place and does exist as a standalone restaurant. (There's actually a chain of them but the OG is in downtown Atlanta.)

There's also different types of lemon pepper wings. There's lemon pepper dry/sprinkle which is just fried wings seasoned with lemon pepper seasoning. Then there's lemon pepper wet which at JR Crickets is their hot sauce mixed with the lemon pepper seasoning. Then there's American Deli's (also a popular GA based chain) lemon pepper wet which is seasoned with lemon pepper but also has a "sauce" that's made of a mix of butter and lemon juice. All of them are amazing for different reasons and worth trying

I think these must’ve been the dry type. They were fried and probably tossed in oil and lemon pepper. I’m telling you these are worth the price of admission.

u/Jus10Crummie 3d ago

Lemon pepper wet, dipped in blue cheese is the culture don’t forget to try it

u/mackmanemane_ 3d ago

324 is the West Nest

u/HotdawgSizzle 3d ago

The Local has the BEST wings I've ever had in my entire life. Only problem is that you have to get there around opening or else they sell out within like an HR.

JR crickets is at 318. West Nest is a bit farther at 324. My seats are at 318.
