A milkshake wouldn’t have been unwelcome, because at least it would have been something I could drink. I opted for the “Blackened Salmon Khalifa Bowl” with sautéed veggies and garlic white rice because it came with the option to order the salmon “Medium Rare” and I want to die, clearly.ĭessert options are a “Mile High Dark Chocolate Brownie” ($6) and a “TGOD Cookie” ($4). There are two “Khalifa Bowls” and two salads here, with grilled chicken ($17) or blackened salmon ($21 or $22). “People aren’t coming to HotBox by Wiz to be healthy.” The pricing in this section was also, in a word, psychotic. “Stay in your lane, Cameron Jibril Thomaz,” I thought. The most upsetting section is the Healthy Hits. I didn’t come all this way to eat a goddamn turkey burger so you know I went for that Blazed spicy chicken sandwich.
The Big Hits include: “Mac & Yellow” (a well-named steal at $7, with the lack of Cheeto-breading a plus), “Hot Bowl” (just a $13 chili), the “Taylor Gang Turkey Burger” ($13), and the OG Fried Chicken Sandwich ($12 with a one dollar up-charge for the “Blazed” version). (By the way, do you think Quibi is kicking themselves that they didn’t think of “Small Hits”?)

I knew I’d be ordering a Big Hit that came with Chip Hits, so for my Small Hits selection I opted for the Cheetos-coated Buffalo Mac Bites, because they seemed like the most toxic and I hate myself. The Small Hits section features “Blazed Ends” ($15), “Wiz Wings” ($13), “Fried Mac Bites” (classic for $8, “Hot Cheetos Buffalo” for $11), “Bluffin’ Buffalo Cauliflower” ($12), and something called “Chip Hits,” which are “Lightly fried lemon pepper parmesan house potato chips with three dipping sauces” for $9. Wiz’s business model is to send high people a box of dry-ass chips and nothing to quell the literal Depression-era Dust Bowl localized entirely inside of the human mouth that would ensue. It’s particularly egregious for a business targeting stoners, because, you know, dry mouth. This would be an oversight for literally any business that sells food. You can’t order a can of Coke or a Jarritos or a bottle of water to wash down your chosen Hits. I ordered through UberEats (it’s also on Postmates, GrubHub and DoorDash), where the menu is divided into four sections: Small Hits, Big Hits, Healthy Hits, and Desserts. A 420-friendly fast food option for when fans get the munchies, with a menu “featuring Wiz’s favorite dishes, personally curated by Wiz himself.” I had “dined” like Travis now I wanted to snack like Wiz. Following the massive hype machine and merchandising opportunities surrounding past collaborator Travis Scott’s McDonald’s meal, this seemed like a smart, ambitious, business decision. Wiz Khalifa launched HotBox by Wiz on October 1 as a chain with “locations” in Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Denver, Houston, NYC, and his hometown of Pittsburgh. I suppose I had just assumed like a jackass that it wouldn’t be based out of a studio apartment in a doorman building. I knew that Wiz himself wouldn’t be walking around in there dipping his finger in the sauces like Ratatouille.

I knew that HotBox by Wiz would be running off of the increasingly-popular “ghost kitchen” model, in which restaurants that don’t actually exist in meatspace operate out of professional kitchens and take advantage of existing delivery infrastructure. 34th Street, which turned out to be an apartment building in Murray Hill. I should have known something was a little off about Wiz Khalifa’s delivery-only restaurant HotBox by Wiz when the delivery app said they were located at 120 E. Objects in the picture do not taste as they appear.
