Relax—the little guy's not on the menu.

Of course not. He's not nearly fattened up enough.

Can't decide which I like better, Otter's on Demonbreun or McDougal's on Belcourt. The gold sauce at McDougal's is mighty peppy, but Otter's seems faster and the tenders themselves are practically indistinguishable. I know it's shameful, and perhaps it's just my proximity to exasperatingly finicky pre-first-grade eaters—but sometimes I just want a big gooey basket of buffalo tenders. They're comfort food.

I've also developed a periodic hankering for Maniac Wings in Cool Springs.

when are these tender-loving wingster people gonna realise the flavor is in the bones, and the big meat is on the thighs?

That's like saying, "When are these filet mignon people going to realize how awesome flank steak is?" You get different cravings at different times, and while tenders won't satisfy your meat tooth for thighs in jerk sauce, the reverse holds true as well. Sometimes I just want the convenience, relative lack of mess, and plentiful white meat of chicken tenders, and fatty, greasy thighs don't do the trick.

"and the tenders themselves are practically indistinguishable."

Actually, my dad works for Otter's and they get them fresh each day from a local chicken company in Nashville.
