I am using this great credit repair service and I am almost ready to buy a new car. It is a really good thing because I have been riding the bus.

My Stomach hurts. March 17, 2009

Recently my wife and I ate there for lunch and had a wing sampler. Being so many we both skipped dinner only to be awakened by severe stomach cramps and sickness. Luckily our son did not eat any wings.

So here is the dirt. Some friends of ours ate there that same afternoon and had wings also. They also awoken to violent stomach pains and sickness.

Sounds like between the not so fresh food and the cigarette smoke that wanders into the dinning area it deserves to go under. Not a good fit for Asheville, maybe Candler.

As far as I know, the joint is still open; just trying to get their money straight.

Kip, you’re right, but I went with the paperwork filed in federal court. The court papers list the company name as Wild Wings Cafe.
