How I Eat Buffalo Wings – Hot Sauce Meme

As a chicken wing enthusiast, a participant in a handful of wing challenges, and a spectator of at least a couple of dozen buffalo wing-eating contests, below is perhaps the quickest, cleanest, and most efficient way of eating the “flats” of those scrumptious little fowl appendages.

The first time I came across this technique was when I saw past wing champion Dante of Columbus, Ohio, who is the African American man who has been to probably every North Market Fiery Foods Festival show since it’s inception, and is one of the regular favorites to at least place in the top two contestants in their wing-chomping brawls. Using this method, he was able to suck wings clean in a rapid succession and smoke the other challengers.

There’s a People’s Choice award voted on by the crowd, several fun raffles and local band, Willie and the Poor Boys will provide entertainment and music. The event is sponsored by Schlafly, Coca Cola, Fox 2 News, St. Louis Magazine and…

I don’t know much about Griffin’s Wing Sauce, other than the fact that it’s owner, Mike Griffin, hails from Levittown, Pennsylvania. He contacted me a few months back and inquired about doing a product review for all 10 of his

During my first report for the Chevy STL Keys promotion (more about that soon!), I decided to do a formal review on one of the most unique chicken wing eateries I’ve yet to come across, and I’m fortunate enough to have learned that it was located in the St. Louis, Missouri metro area where I call home.

I’m referring to St. Louis Wing Company, the brainchild of Chef Bobby Tessler. Instead of featuring multiple level heat sauces (you’ll find monikers such as no mild, medium, hot, and nuclear) like some wing joints or differently-flavored bottled sauces such as Buffalo Wild Wings, Chef Bobby takes a different approach. He whips up created-fresh-from-scratch sauces, glazes and marinades and will also apply herbs, spices and chopped and minced solid ingredients atop the already “tossed” wing pieces…

I’ve been asked to be a judge for this hot event, in which local restaurants duke it out in an all-out contest for the title of the “Best Chicken Wings” in two categories: Best National Chain and Tastiest Wing by a Local Restaurant.
