On my first visit to The Hay Merchant I chose the Sweet and Spicy Crispy Pig Ears. As advertised they were mostly sweet with a touch of heat and fried to a golden brown crispiness.
My visit was mainly about the beer but I also sampled the Black Pepper and Smoked Honey Glazed Chicken Wings. They were less than stellar than the pig ears in my opinion but still good. The skin was not crisp and that is a requirement for any chicken wings to my liking. The wings had a pronounced black pepper flavor that integrated well with the honey glaze.
Overall a great experience for me and I look forward to my next visit. For my next visit I have my eye on the Crispy Lamb Sweetbread Po'Boy or Momma's Fried Chicken.
