If you know me, I'm all about some wings. You'll find me at West Coast Tavern grubbing on their hot wings or at OB Noodle House devouring their spicy garlic wings and munching on the chicken wings from Henry's Pub. Every once and a while, I will venture out in search of more spots. In this edition of "Just Wingin' It," I have found five spots I'm adding to the list that I think you should put on your radar and I'll tell you why! Roll up your sleeves - it’s about to get deliciously messy at these wing hot spots around San Diego
