The 'Stalk Around Town

We’re a Midwest couple on a mission to find those who make truly great chicken wings and Bloody Marys. The kind so good that every other bite or sip is measured against them. (Of course, with the trusty celery sidekick).

You know exactly what we’re talking about.

It all started in Champaign-Urbana, where we set out to explore the local scene and find the best spots for our two favorite things. What began as simple curiosity quickly turned into a full-on quest: to discover restaurants and bars that serve kick-ass wings and tomato cocktails.

Our mission is straightforward: to find great chicken wings and Bloody Marys, from local gems to chains, from small towns to big cities. We’re here to try both traditional recipes and exciting new takes on these beloved classics and to share our experiences with you.

Our Simple Rules:

1. If there are multiple styles of chicken wings and/or Bloody Marys, we will order the restaurant’s unique version.
2. If there is no house version, we’ll order the most popular or what the staff recommends.
3. Cost, presentation, and experience do not factor into the final score. If the food is good, the food is good.

Got a place you think we should try? Let us know! We’re always on the lookout for new recommendations and happy to explore spots you think are worth it.

Here’s to discovering and celebrating businesses that share our love for these tasty classics!
