Empire Wings: The story behind a Baton Rouge favorite

Bird is the word on this segment of Love, 225 as we head to Empire Wings. Owner, Vic Smith, says it all started as post-party meals in 2012. That’s all before he spent his last dollar, investing in the first restaurant on Scenic Highway near Southern University. Now, he has a mini-”empire” with three locations on Scenic Highway, Burbank Drive, and a new drive-thru location at 2698 Sherwood Forest Blvd. The menu has plenty to offer from wings tossed in a variety of sauces to the “VJ” fries, which are named after his son, covered in barbecue sauce and ranch.
