    How does Scott make his barbecue? The restaurant’s website describes it like this: 

    Hardwood is burned down to glowing embers at the side of the bbq pits. Those embers are shoveled carefully under the meat and tended—paying special attention to temperature and heat placement—using those coals to regulate cooking through the entire process. 

    Sounds absolutely delicious…

    Rick Ross, who owns several Wingstop franchises in metro Atlanta, recently filmed a promo outside his mansion. Ross the Boss says due to a shortage in chicken wings, his businesses have pivoted to selling chicken thighs.

    The Texas-based company launched “Thighstop,” a virtual restaurant that will serve up crispy chicken thighs, on Monday, June 21, 2021.

    “The pandemic has caused challenges to be able to staff plants to be able to slaughter enough chickens to be able to meet the demands of the marketplace. And I think that’s seen everywhere. I mean, the price of chicken across the board is high, especially high for wings,” Morrison said on an earnings call.

    Now the company is going all-in on Thighstop, with Ross leading the way.

    “We’re excited to bring Thighstop to the masses in a way that’s familiar and convenient to consumers by providing the option of delivery or carryout through our delivery partner DoorDash,” Morrison says in a news release.
