I went straight for the sandwich with a side of fries. I went for medium to test out the heat and it was very tasty. It had just enough heat to make me taste it but not overwhelm me. I could go up another level and be fine but I did really enjoy the flavor. The chicken was cooked very well, the sauce on the sandwich is tasty and the fries were nice and crispy. It takes a few minutes for an order which leads me to believe he's cooking to order and I'm all for that. Nice hot, fresh made to order food is worth the wait. It's really reasonably priced for what you get as well, I know I'll be visiting again in the future and recommend all spicy chicken loves come give it a try.

I stumbled onto Hot Tender Wings the way most hidden gems get discovered these days -- through an…read moreInstagram page dedicated to spotting local Bakersfield spots. Honestly, if it wasn't for them, I probably never would've known this place existed. Hot Tender Wings doesn't seem to do much marketing, and it's tucked away on Union Avenue near Superior Grocery, so it's easy to drive right past it. But I'm glad I didn't. I went with the 8 Piece Tender/Wing Combo -- 4 Garlic Parmesan wings and 4 Lemon Pepper tenders -- which came with a can of soda, fries, and a dip. The menu also lists coleslaw and garlic toast, but those didn't make it into my bag, made me a little sad. I also grabbed the Mexican Burger, which caught my eye because there's a spot in LA that does a legit al pastor burger patty, and I thought this was the same concept. Took everything back to the office for lunch, and my wife and I went in. The Garlic Parmesan wings were seriously good -- well-seasoned, cooked through, and still crispy. The Lemon Pepper tenders were juicy with great seasoning, not dry like so many places serve them. That's honestly the bar most spots fail to clear -- wings and tenders are either fire or garbage, rarely in between -- and Hot Tender Wings cleared it with room to spare. The fries were standard but fresh and seasoned well, no complaints there. Now, about that Mexican Burger. When I unwrapped it, I realized it was built like a torta -- al pastor meat, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, the whole thing on a hamburger-style bun. Was I a little let down? Yeah, slightly. But was it good? Absolutely. It just wasn't what I pictured. If you're going there for wings, stay in your lane and get the wings -- they outshine the Mexican Burger by miles. I probably won't reorder it, but only because I'm at a wing spot next time, not because it was bad. Speaking of wings, their current flavor lineup is Original, BBQ, Garlic Parmesan, Lemon Pepper, Mango Habanero, Sweet Chili, Buffalo, and Nashville Hot -- solid, but pretty standard. What separates the good spots from the great ones is when they go beyond the basics and make it their own. Bakersfield Pizza Company does Taco wings and Strawberry Chili wings. Fire Wings leans into Asian-inspired flavors. Hot Tender Wings is already solid -- now imagine if they leaned into their surroundings and added Mexican/Hispanic-inspired flavors. Birria wings where they thicken the consomé into a toss sauce? An Elote-style wing dusted with cotija and chili lime? Yes, I'm putting this in writing. Yes, I'm a little obsessed. But that kind of creativity would make them standout in this city. Go check them out. The food is good, the price is right, and they're easy to get to. Just make sure you get the wings and tenders, straight GAS!!

In an effort to start eating better I dropped into WaBa for the first time the other day…read more I had the chicken and steak bowl with veggies and the garlic serrano sauce. It was a big hit with my taste buds, everything was well cooked and well seasoned and it was just enough to fill me up. The bowl was $12, not too crazy for having 2 meats in it and there was plenty of both. Probably a future go to for me when I'm out and about and need a quick healthy bite.

I can normally handle spice, but this one definitely had some heat. For my husband, I added the plant-based steak bowl, which is usually his go-to. The meat was soft and had a surprisingly real steak-like texture. This bowl also came with rice, veggies, and the garlic Serrano sauce. Overall, service was good and quick. The bowls were good and exactly what we expected.
