VERO BEACH – There are lots of restau- rants that claim that their chicken wings are the best. None of them must have tried wings from Phatz Chick-n-Shack in Vero Beach. Although new to their location on Route Horoscopes 60, Phatz is well-known throughout Vero Beach and the Treasure Coast. They sell their wings, topped with their famous fin- ger-lickin’ sauce, at Vero Beach High School football games. They have a food truck that makes the rounds at local Food Truck events, and of course, the location in Fort Pierce has been one of the most popular wing destinations in the area for some time now.
