Best Eat In the House | Wings Cafe’s Lemon Pepper Wings

March 14, 2018  |  Brad Austin, Jonathan Bender  |  1 min read

Best Eat in the House features dining recommendations from people in and around Kansas City. For this episode, Gene Willis, the Director of Marketing for Drug Free Sport, came in to talk about the lemon pepper wings at Wings Café (3927 Broadway Blvd.).

We traveled to Midtown to chat with owner Lee Redwood about why lemon pepper wings have been a staple since Wings Café opened in 2015. The wings are dry (wet wings have sauce added) and tossed in the eatery’s own house blend of spices.
