Keg South is a dark dive bar in Pinecrest with dollar bills stapled to the walls, sports playing on TVs, and grilled wings in their simplest form. These wings are served naked, with nothing but char marks and ranch or blue cheese. And they prove that a perfectly grilled wing doesn’t really need anything else. Each bite is like getting gently slapped with a smoking piece of charcoal—in the best way possible. These are the wings every parent manning a backyard grill aspires to make.
