Super order of wings in North Philly

NORTH PHILADELPHIA. Like every shop in the city that sells chicken wings, business was booming inside the Wing Stop on North Broad Street yesterday afternoon.

But unlike the rest, the workers there were doing more than just shipping out orders of hot wings. They were also getting ready to watch their boss play in last night's Super Bowl.

More than 1,500 wings were sold by 3:30 p.m. and the calls began pouring in as it got closer to gametime at the store opened in December 2008 by Indianapolis Colts' defensive end Raheem Brock, a Temple University alum and 1997 Dobbins High School graduate.

There isn't any indication on the walls that Brock, 30, owns the store. But employees say Brock keeps an eye on his short-order restaurant.

"When he's home, he comes through," manager Saeed Dotson said as he oversaw orders passed from the register to the kitchen. Dotson, like most of the workers, have been at the store since its inception a little over a year ago. His cousin went to Dobbins with Brock, he said.

Brock also owns a Wing Stop at Red Lion and the Boulevard, Dotson said.
