Madison Square Garden has recently been touting a food that seems to be taking the Phish-verse by storm:

Nobody can seem to get enough of these delicacies, I can only imagine what section 119 looks like at set break. They are even more popular than the limited supply donuts that nobody can seem to get their hands on. Why exactly are they so sought after? Because they are good? Doubtful, MSG is notorious for shitty food. Cheap? Try $12. I have my own theory.

When ever I tune into a Phish concert or am lucky enough to score a ticket, I am amazed by the devout fans and their ability to dance for 3 hours straight. I myself join them, but hit a wall midway through the second set. I used to think it was the drugs fueling the fellow groovers’ marathon, and for the most part I may have been right, but with such a tight grip on MSG concert-goers, fans have had to turn to desperate measures.

Yes, the Spicy hot chicken is notably so hot, that it physically makes you dance off the sweat and pain of a burning mouth. Farfetched? No. Have we found a new drug? Yes. Seriously, they have become addicting and marketable.

I am making my way to New York for night thirteen of an already stupendous run and will get to try these bad boys first hand, review to come. All I can say is I look forward to dancing my ass-handed ass off for hopefully three sets.

Music is my passion, writing is my hobby.
