Ramone Dickerson Brings Creativity to Chicken Wings

Making It Grow Minute

Hello Gardeners, I’m Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension and Making It Grow. The South Carolina Chef Ambassadors for 2016 represent restaurants from the urban areas of our state. The Famously Hot Capital city of Columbia is home to one of these chefs, Chef Ramone Dickerson, already made famous for a reality show on the Oprah network called Wingmen. At his Bluff Road outlet Wing City, Dickerson breaks the mold of traditional wing choices. Among his unusual offerings are wings stuffed with collards and rice and how about this -- even chicken and waffle! At local music or farm festivals and other locations, you might see his food truck 2 Fat to Fly. Expect the menu to change and have new additions—Chef Dickerson’s mission statement includes this line “everything you have ever known about chicken wings is now null and void!” Tune in tomorrow for another chef profile of the 2016 Chef Ambassador.
