Editorial Review for El Wingador – by Melissa Auman
In Short
A tiny, green-roofed shop on a once quiet corner is now El Wingador's gift to Philly: A comfort-food feast combining local specialties and his aunt's home-style Puerto Rican cooking. Locals and followers stand in line amid newspaper clippings of owner Bill Simmons competitive eating triumphs, ordering wings, cheesesteaks and spicy rice dishes to do a little gorging of their own.
