Blue Taki wings and Kool-Aid pineapple: This new eatery is dedicated to serving viral cuisine

If you’ve seen it trending on TikTok, chances are Lanetria Washington—better known as “Auntie” behind the Columbus eatery Auntie’s House Viral Restaurant—has served it.

The Columbus ghost kitchen—known for serving blue chicken wings and pineapple spears representing every color of the rainbow—opened just last month, but is already generating considerable buzz for selling a wide variety of dishes that have become hotly-popular online.

“I have a lot of Nephews in the music industry and when they come to Columbus I cook for them all. They are young so they want whatever is viral,” she told 614Now about the concept’s roots.

Currently open to orders via Instagram DMs and offering food via delivery until 4 a.m., Auntie’s House is dedicated to bringing “anything viral to Columbus.” For Washington, this includes serving Blue Taki Wings, Grippo Wings, Kool-Aid Pineapple, Jolly Rancher Pineapple, fried chicken served on top of a funnel cake and more.

Washington said her eventual goal is to open a brick and mortar space, ideally somewhere with land where she can incorporate live music events for guests. Until then, Columbus will have to make do with some of the wildest food we’ve seen in a while.
