My search for the best hot wings in Memphis continued recently. A quick Google search landed me on a simple, yet well-designed website for a wing joint that I have yet to hear of. Located right in front of the Clark Tower on Poplar, Bosses would be my next adventure into the world of chicken wings. After mapping their exact location, I found it odd that I have never heard of them before. The Poplar East Memphis area is very busy with business and I used to spend a lot of time there. Reading more on the site, I saw that they are a fairly new place. With that known, I had to make a visit.
I decided to visit Bosses for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. Upon arrival, I noted their cleanliness. You can instantly see that they care about keeping their place clean and organized for their customers. I reviewed their menu which includes a great price for a lb of wings, fries and a dipping sauce. All for $6, a perfect meal for a customer looking for a good lunch at a good price. From the amount of customers who were seated, enjoying their lunch in their business suits and ties, I could tell that the word is already out around the Clark Tower about a new wing establishment on the block.
Upon placing my order, I was greeted by one of the owners, John, who explained the levels of their sauces. Without a doubt, I was there for the pain and this would be in the presence of a sauce they call "QD", or "Questionable Decision". Sounds perfect. I was then warned about the sauce by someone sitting at the bar which excited me even more. I found a seat and John later joined me. He gave me a brief rundown of the establishment, stating they have only been open since the beginning of the year and are still getting their name out there. We discussed wings and hot food, which was great meeting another person who also likes to burn his mouth on some hot wings. Although these wings aren't as hot as he could make them, he said he receives good feedback from his customers.
Regardless of how busy they were, the order quickly came out. I jumped right in and had a few down before I began to heat up. It wasn't an over-powerful heat which gave me the opportunity to taste the sauce. I was impressed with the texture and flavor of the sauce which topped a perfectly crisp wing that didn't have me begging for more water. After my last wing, I wiped my head and gave John two sauce-covered thumbs up. So if you're in the mood to try something new, work in the Clark Tower area or both, give Bosses a shot. It would be a decision that you would not find questionable.
