Buffalo wing fest


So, I was at the Buffalo Wing Fest this week end. I was one of the judges in the restaurant wing sauce competition. Just now able to talk about it. I am in no way a wuss, but some of the sauces did make my eyes water. There was a couple of really great wings that I gave high scores and a few that just didn’t appeal to me as a consumer, judge or even as a curious chef.
There was one wing with white sauce, just not appetizing. It tasted like mayonaise and cayenne. Then there was the green sauce that tasted like lime and cumin, not bad flavor if you can close your eyes to get passed the bright green POISONIOUS looking sauce. Then those sneaky SOB's gave us an extra extra hot mixed in with the Traditional Hot and I just could'nt taste much after that. All in all I had a great time.
The Wing Fest is growing and getting better every year.
Thank you Drew Cerza for the big boost for Buffalo and the repeated invite to attend and judge all the great wings. Check out the web site http://www.buffalowing.com/
