A local restaurant is getting ready to make the stomachs of Memphis wing aficionados rumble. Wing Guru, the acclaimed eatery from Billy Richmond Jr., is opening a new location, bringing residents a fresh chance to indulge in its celebrated cuisine, reports Daily Memphian.
Wing Guru’s upcoming 4980 Park Avenue location will be to-go only, a development that owner Billy Richmond assures fans will have no impact on the cuisine. He states: “We’re still cooking it fresh, but it’s just not where you can hang and dine.”
Richmond anticipates holding a grand opening for Wing Guru’s new home at some point next month, though a precise date is not yet available. The concept currently has an application for a certificate of occupancy for the location under review with the Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development. The submitted form shows that the restaurant will span 1,400 square feet.
Wing Guru is taking over the space previously occupied by Rayford’s Hot Wings, and Richmond sees this new home as a fresh chance to introduce Memphis diners to the eatery. He states: “We’re getting back to all those things that made Wing Guru rated as the sixth best wing joint in the country back in 2019, so just getting back to the grassroots of what we started this thing to be.”
