Non-appreciator of wings ITT.

You probably go for the boneless variety when given the choice.

There are a number of factors that go into a good wing: size of wing, proper rendering or crisping of the fat in the skin, sauce of course.

IMO, the wing scale is as broad as the burger scale (from Jack in the Box to a place like Holstein's). I despise the oven baked (or under-fried), rubbery, thick skinned, wings you get at most bars and chain restaurants. But a good crispy wing, lightly sauced or with a dry rub, made by someone who knows what they are doing is a joy to my palate.

look at those wings...

Those wings don't look right. They look more like legs that have been given the wing drumette treatment of cutting the bases off and forcing the meat up the bone into that little ball. Note the hachet job on the base and the ball joint on the meat end that looks more like a leg/thigh connection than a true wing drumette. Either that or the perspective makes it look like some kind of Foghorn Leghorn Super Chicken.

apparently the slider truck is opening up a 24/7 restaurant in henderson, right off the airport connector at sunset and paradise

island flavor (hawaiin)

Only had it once, but their kalua pork and cabbage was delicious. Their roasted pork wasn't great for my taste, but others liked it.

It is in the summerlin area I believe. We order it at home from a delivery place.

The wings look non-conventional, but tasty nonetheless. The whole plate again, looks bomb.

Psh. I like wings. Saying they have a low ceiling shouldn't be controvertial.

I like Aloha Kitchen (D.I. / Decatur and across from UNLV). They serve 'authentic' Hawaiian food, but their cheeseburgers aren't too bad if you're looking for something cheap and fast.

Btw: Is there a restaurant on or near the strip that only serves bio/organic (not sure which is the right term) food?

i'm a pretzel nit (half-german) and while those sticks are not as good as you'd find in swabia, they get the laugenbrezel coating down pretty well and it's a decent imitation. better pretzels are available at hofbrauhaus, they import them straight from bavaria.

i had a surprisingly good steak and eggs at the cafe at terrible's. $4.99 well spent, and it comes with hash browns and toast i didn't eat (low-carb diet)

For a healthy casual option, Nevada Chicken Cafe on W. Sahara has good rotisserie and great mesquite BBQ chicken with a nice selection of side dishes.
