The wings and drums were on the small side, but the sauce's flavor and spice level were pretty spot on. I wish the wings were bigger. The Buffalo sauce tasted authentic and had a nice level of spice and tang, but I can't say I was fully blown away. I wish the wings had been larger. In a pinch could definitely satisfy a wing craving, just don't expect deep-fried restaurant quality here.

As I stood with my mom under the blistering sun in Rome waiting for our audio tour of the Pantheon to begin, I decided to kill some time with ChatGPT. "Pretend you're a tour guide and tell that to me in a more interesting fashion," I wrote. But my favorite ChatGPT use case so far has been as a tour guide in Italy.

By 2019, Sands found that restaurants given a Michelin star were more likely to shutter. The publicity created around an award such as a Michelin star drives interest. But he pointed out that even if they ultimately failed, the Michelin restaurants that closed in Sands' research generally had a pretty good run.
