The First Baptist Church of Charleston has a commercial kitchen and space to sell food, as well as a space to eat it. So, some local cooks have used the commisary kitchen to do just that - like BG'z LA Street Tacos on Tuesdays.



On Wednesday, the pastor himself gets in on the action with "Wing Wednesday" where you can enjoy a wing dinner complete with two sides, a drink and a roll for just $10.



Wing flavors include mumbo, hot, bbq, lemon pepper dust, hot mumbo, honey drizzle and plain. Sides can vary, but I've seen mac & cheese, collard greens, potato salad, mixed vegetables, broccoli rice casserole, jambalaya, cheesy redskin potatoes and more.



AND, they have dessert. If it's your first time there, you get a dessert for free! Banana pudding, cakes, cookies - the works. And they have a good variety of drinks. I love having the options of Brisk, Sunkist, Crush - mix it up a little.



I initially was going to ordeer BBQ wings, but thankfully the woman taking my order knew better and asked if I had tried "mumbo," to which I replied no. She said if I liked sweet and sour, I would like it. I took her up on it, and God bless that woman, because those mumbo wings were fire. It really is like a sweet and sour, but so much better. It's maybe even sweeter, but also maybe more sour, too, so there's a deeper complexity that just makes me want to keeep taking another bite. The mac & cheese was stellar - nice and creamy, a touch swweet - just the way I like it. The greens were even great. I'm not huge on greens, but they cooked these in a way to take some of the bitterness out, but still provide that nice bite in between all the other rich flavors on the dish. All that plus a roll, a tasty Grape Crush and a free banana pudding? This may be the best deal in town.

**At the time of this writing, I do think they raised their price to $12, but it's still the best deal in town. Also look for their Fried Fish Fridays.
