One thing that s for sure: Rochesterians love their chicken wings, which are the top sellers at many area bars and restaurants. That s why a nationwide chicken wing shortage has many local business owners in a flap.
Wing prices have increased throughout the pandemic as has demand, mainly due to takeout but the situation came to a head this week. I might not be able to get my wings this week. It’s crazy, said Lee Selover, owner of Windjammer s, on Lake Avenue in Charlotte, usually among the places mentioned when locals debate the best wings in town. We built this place on wings and we kind of pride ourselves on our wings, said Selover, who has owned the bar for the past 42 years. During a busy day in summer, he sells thousands of wings, which can be ordered with seven dry rubs and more than 20 sauces.
