Recently, the number of high school students going to the hot wing restaurant, Wingstop has increased. The increase has been dubbed “the Wingstop hype” by people who do not fully enjoy the succulent flavors this restaurant has to offer. Although Wingstop has been around for a while, it is only lately that such a large influx of high school students have been going to the establishment.
“I consider myself a Wingstopologist,” senior Alex Cabrales said.
Cabrales not only enjoys eating the wings and tasting their original hot sauce (his favorite sauce), but analyzing their texture and shape. Cabrales is a stern defender of Wingstop, insisting it is not a “hype” as some have called it, but that it is here to stay in people’s hearts and diets.
The increase in students at Wingstop is visible at any of the hot wing pit stops located in the area.
“I think of myself as a Wingstopiterian. I can’t eat it every day, but I can try,” senior Gabe Campos said.
It takes a certain type of person to enjoy the wings and fries that Wingstop sells when the greasy bowel after effects are known to all.
Eating at Wingstop, or “Wangstop,” as he and other Wingstop regulars refer to it, is a treat on any day. Campos has even been inspired from eating at Wingstop to create his own wings and wing sauce.
The capturing of young people’s culinary imaginations is the most important part of the “Wingstop hype” which students have been enjoying.
Wingstop delivers a type of food that can be appreciated here among the students. What used to only be found in sports bars can now be enjoyed by everyone anywhere.
