Number 8: Buffalo '66 at That's a Wrap
Shameless confession here: I first decided to order That's a Wrap's Buffalo '66 wrap because it's named after a movie I really dig. (Vincent Gallo and Christina Ricci, spanning time . . .)
Now I order it because I'm obsessed with the crazy rush it gives me. Yes, the shredded chicken is the requisite protein component, but it's the sauce that really makes the dish. It's sort of a creamy, light version of the spicy stuff you'd find on Buffalo wings, dripping out from the tortilla wrap. There's also shredded lettuce and some tomato in there to cool things down just enough.
If you can appreciate good hot wings, you'll understand the faintest way my face starts to perspire and mouth starts to water when I eat one of these. On a day when caffeine just isn't enough, this is a tasty way to supercharge.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
