Wing Playoff

So many of you know I was a judge for the Plain Dealer wings Playoff on Saturday March 30th.  It was a fun event and I met some really cool people.  They all love wings and they all have a good palate...I think almost all of us agreed on what was the best wing.  So it started and we have no idea what wings were from which places.  The place chose their best wing to serve us.  I do not know the overall winner, it will be announced this Friday in Friday Magazine.  Because we do not know the winners, I will try to describe the wings without a lot of my own judgment.

The first round had what I think was a honey mustard with a little chili wing and a dry rub.  The honey mustard wing had very subtle flavor.  The dry rub was a crispy wing and the rub actually fell off the wing as you were eating it.  It was slightly peppery, salty and spicy.  A winner was chosen from that round to go to the final. 

The second round had a crispy wing with Parmesan cheese on top and a sticky crispy honey wing with a 911 sauce to accompany it.  the second wing definitely had two different flavors between the wing without and with the 911 sauce.  Ok...I will give some commentary here.  The 911 sauce was awesome!  I could eat it straight, but it was not what I would describe as 911.  the winner was chosen from that round. 

The two winners then went head to head for a final tasting and voting was complete.  Check out the PD Friday magazine for the overall winner.  My one comment on the quality of wings...people...do not vote based on where you live.  Try to vote based on the actually quality of the product.  There were 2 wings that I not only did not like at all, but that I cannot believe anyone who likes wings would ever order. 

Happy Dyngus Day all...I will be down there trying some yummy Polish food all afternoon!
