The Great International Chicken Wing Society brought to Reno a cookoff, and I had to go check it out.
I was surprised to find that a few of the booths were closed (or even gone) for lunch time, but there was still plenty to be seen and tasted. All the chicken wing booths offered a $2 sampler of 4 pieces. 
Dani and I walked from one end to the other, making sure we tried every single one.
The sun was hitting, the temperature was rising… and not only outside, but inside! Some of the wings were super spicy. Wait, some? Most! The only one that wasn’t spicy was one with garlic and honey, which was delicious. Nevertheless, my favorite were the ones from “Havin’ an Affair“. After the sampler tour, I came back and ordered a dozen wings. Each individual wing wasn’t hot, but after a few, a dragon ball was starting to come together in my mouth.
Now, maybe you didn’t know this about me, but my head sweats a lot when I eat something spicy. This was no exception, and I ended up pretty soaked after my little lunch adventure.
Sadly, I missed the contest being held at 3pm: See how many wings you can stuff in your face in a few minutes. I doubt I would have been competition to hambeasts like Willie Davison though.
