Munchies is Sarasota's hot spot for the late-night hunger attack, open during the notorious snacking hours of 4:20pm to 4:20am. Munchies' mission is to create food that has never been attempted and use high quality products to do it. Famous for its Philly Cheese Steak and Fire-in-Your-Hole Wings, Munchies was visited by the Travel Channel's Adam Richman of Man vs. Food for its now-famous Wing Challenge. Mr. Richman was regrettably only able to eat two of the blazing hot wings. The dress code is casual ("Please wear a shirt" says a sign) and stop by the next time you're out late in Gulf Gate.
