Josephines is now run by her son..Please get a menu from 20 years ago that shows she served wings..I bet you cant

and I never ate there, so my OP still stands

Still striking out I see

So now I have to guess which restaurants you ate at and find menu's that predate internet??? How about you prove that wings weren't on the menu? That should be easy for you considering boomers never throw out menu's, so I imagine you have some random drawer in your house that has 20 year old menu's from places you won't ever go to.

So unless you can show us a menu where wings aren't on a soul food restaurant's menu, your OP is crap. What is more likely, an idiot made a claim that they cannot back up and is just leaning into the lie or a soul food restaurant not carrying a staple in soul food?

I never said that soul food restaurants don't offer wings..
I said from the get go that you might find soul food restaurants that offer wings, but I hadn't seen them.

I stand by that..I hadn't seen any that offer them and that was 20 years ago..
Prove me wrong. if you can

I have never heard any Italians I know call it gravy. I knew an entire Italian family over twenty years and not a single one called it gravy.

So unless you can send me an Italian that calls it gravy, I am just going to assume that's not really a thing.
We have never called it gravy either. But some Italians do, just not the ones that live in Italy

True story - was back at my In Laws over the summer for a few days. They asked what we wanted to do for dinner and we agreed on take out. I started to scope out Yelp. My FIL disappears and returns a few minutes later with a MF'ing binder that is 3-4 inches thick chalked full of menus lmao. I about died

Let's say you're craving soul food, but also want chicken wings.

So you pull out your menu from 20 years ago and don't see chicken wings.

So you compromise and say I don't need chicken wings.

But the soul food restaurant updated their menu and began offering chicken wings?

No you didn't you said:

I never saw chicken wings on the menu in a black owned restaurant...get some education

You only said you never seen them, not that they might offer them, that part wasn't added until you were called out for your stupidity

Well, since I don't live in Chicago anymore and I don't know of any soul food restaurants here. Thats a bridge I won't have to cross

this blog post was written in 2007, 6 years shy of your 20 year bench mark but like i said old school restaurant typically don't change menus

We started with gratis corn muffins, crisp edges yielding to soft interior, flavor packed gumbo, nice hunks of andouille in a no roux style broth and fine, but in no way memorable, Hot and Sweet chicken wings.

Yeah it always came off as more of a trashy Jersey Italian thing to me. Never heard actual Italians even use the word gravy...especially when making a sauce.
