THE WING SHACK - ORLANDO FL.

by american wing king staff writer : Frank DeFulgentis September 21 at 8:26pm

The wing shack on 4650 E. Michigan St. in Orlando, Florida is the place to be on Sundays during football season. The owner, Shawn Casey is from Philly and each week he hosts the largest Eagles celebration in the city. Being that Florida has three NFL teams you would think the Eagles would not be such an attraction. However as you notice the crowds of people in eagles white and green pouring in you begin to realize that this is more than your typical wingshack/sports bar.

As my wife Amy and I sat down at our table two waitresses introduced themselves to us and began helping us with our orders. When you consider the fact that this place gets really crowded during game time this is good. One of the things I like about this bar is that I do not have to wait 45 minutes for another beer if I want one. So right away I felt taken care of.

As the Fox pregame show ended and the eagles players came out onto the field Shawn turned down the volume and put on the rocky theme. The place was filled with beers and cheers and after Shawn played a recording of God bless America we waited for kickoff.

Just after the Eagles scored we got our food and as I took in each delicious tasting bite I looked up at the decor around me. There are framed throwback jerseys of Reggie White, Jerome Brown, and Bill Bergey next to a large painting of Donovan McNabb. When the eagles scores the bar sings Fly eagles fly and one of the waitresses walks around waving a large eagles flag.

I got the 24 wings platter, medium. Even though I go for taste more than spiciness I am definitely going to move up to hot for next time. However, the wings were not lacking in taste and I didn't miss a beat. When I put away that batch the waittress was nice enough to bring some samples of their trophy wings. The trophy wings are basically just a combination of all of their flavors: Mild, Medium, Hot, Suicide, Garlic, BBQ, Honey Mustard, Teriyaki, Cajun, Lemon Pepper. I give the wingshack 4 out of five stars. I don't say that lightly either because I am hard to please when it comes to wings.

Everything about this place is fun. When you are so far from where you grew up your entire life the one thing you miss the most after you leave is the sports. But it's good to know that I have people to throw down frosty mugs with and high five while watching my eagles and smacking down some tasty morsels.

Buffalo Wild Wings Reports Solid Earnings

By KEN HOOVER, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY

BWLD *

Buffalo Wild Wings Inc
* Top-Rated Company
Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) has avoided the malaise that has infected much of the restaurant industry.

The Minneapolis-based restaurant chain proved itself this week with an earnings report that beat analysts' estimates and sent the stock higher the next day.

After the close Monday, it reported earnings of 39 cents a share, a 26% increase from the year-ago quarter. That beat estimates by 5 cents and was the third-straight quarter the company beat forecasts. Revenue was up 32%.

That was pretty much in line with the top- and bottom-line growth rates from the last several quarters.

Same-store sales rose 2.8% at company-owned stores and 3.7% at franchised stores.

The company said it's on track to meet its 2009 annual goals for unit growth of 15%, revenue growth of 25% and earnings growth of 20% to 25%.

Buffalo has carved out a niche for itself as a sports bar. Its young, male clientele hasn't given up on watching sports on big-screen TVs, drinking beer and eating bar snacks — like buffalo wings. It also serves families early-evening dinners, often after a baseball or soccer game.

Buffalo Wild Wings has 601 restaurants in 41 states. The company hopes to exceed 1,000 restaurants by 2013, partly through international expansion.

Analysts tracked by Thomson Reuters forecast 2009 earnings of $1.62 a share, a 24% increase over the prior year. For 2010, they see $2.05, a 22% increase.

The company has an IBD EPS Stability Rating of 10.

The stock appears to be setting up in a nice base.

JAYS ELBOW ROOM- Maple Shade NJ

Well this place doesn't look like much from the outside and is actually is a small bar, but their is always people there. Now Jays doesn't have the best wings in the world, but what they do have is a bar that serves wings up til 230 am every day , even on Sunday nights. In New Jersey for us night owls, that is hard to come by. Most places close their kitchen by 11pm, 12 if you know the cook. The wings at Jays Elbow Room are average, and the sauce is ok, but I'll take decent meaty average wings at 230 am anyday. It beats the frozen bag of wings in my freezer, plus their isn't a bunch of females in my kitchen at 2am (usually). Jays has a good atmosphere. They have an outside deck, pool table, and take out beer til 3 am. The kitchen however closes at 230 am. Decent prices, and I recommend it to anyone in New Jersey looking for wings after 1 am.

Recipe: H-O-T Hot Boneless Buffalo Wings
APRIL 16, 2009 (original)
Post a Comment RecommendPrint this pageE-mail this articleShare this article

Serves: 2 (5 wings each) Preparation time: 10 minutes / Total time: 30 minutes





1/4 cup Fiber One Original bran cereal

1 ounce (about 14 crisps) Pringles Light Fat-Free Barbecue potato crisps or another brand of fat-free barbecue-flavored potato chips

Dash of onion powder

Dash of garlic powder

Dash of cayenne pepper

Dash of black pepper

Dash of salt

8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 10 nuggets

3 tablespoons Frank's Red Hot Original Cayenne Pepper sauce

Nonstick cooking spray

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One to a bread crumb-like consistency. Crush the potato crisps in a bowl. In a small dish, mix crushed crisps with cereal crumbs. Add the onion powder and garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper and salt and mix well.

Place the chicken pieces in a separate dish. Cover with the hot sauce and toss to coat.

Coat a nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray. Give each chicken piece a shake so it's not dripping with sauce, then coat evenly with crumb mixture. Place crumb-covered nuggets on the baking sheet.

BATTLE OF THE BUFFALO

Hooters, Beauregard's and Buffalo Wild Wings vie for top spot at the 'Battle of the Buffalo'

University of Alabama in Huntsville student Ryan Burkholder chows down on a wing at the "Battle of the Buffalo"
HUNTSVILLE, AL -- Huntsville's chicken wings heavyweights squared-off on Friday in the Alpha Tau Omega's "Battle of the Buffalo."

More than 500 people joined the local fraternity at the University of Alabama in Huntsville to decide which local restaurant offers the best Buffalo wings. The "Battle of the Buffalo" was a fundraiser benefiting the Russell Hill Cancer Foundation.


The all-you-could-eat wing extravaganza pitted places like Hooters, Beauregard's and Domino's against each other in a winner-take-all bout.

Judges, including Maj. Gen. Jim Myles, University of Alabama in Huntsville's President David Williams, Mayor Tommy Battle and Times reporter Jon Busdeker, had the tough job of tasting wings from each restaurant.

To see the winner, watch the video. http://videos.al.com/huntsville-times/2009/04/battle_of_the_buffalo.html

Doyles Pour House- Tuckerton NJ

We haven’t done a review in awhile but we’ll start getting into it again and do reviews pretty frequently. Last night a handful of us went to a local bar called Doyles Pour House in Tuckerton, NJ on Main Street near route 9. We have heard nothing but good things about the wings and decided that we had to try them and write a review on them. We got there around 11pm; the place was packed but got a seat and ordered our wings right away because the kitchen was closing at 12. My brother, our friend and I took a look at the menu and looked at all the different types of wings they had. They had the usual buffalo and extreme hot but also had some different flavors like Captain Morgan, spicy garlic and teriyaki. I got the same thing I always get, the mild buffalo which were good, not too hot but had just enough kick to them. My Brother said the spicy garlic were great and must have been because I looked over at him a couple minutes after we got the wings and he was already on his last wing. His only complaint was, there was a little too much sauce, I didn’t notice this for his wings but did for the teriyaki wings my friend got. There was a good amount of sauce but he said he didn’t mind it and said the wings were excellent. Overall it was a good time, chill atmosphere and some good wings. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to have a relaxing time with some friends, to eat some quality wings.

Chicken Wing Shortage Driving Up Prices
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ―

from:
http://cbs3.com/topstories/Wings.Chicken.Wings.2.921771.html

Celebrity Snapshots Winter Weather 2009 Show Us Your Shadow On the eve of the annual Wing Bowl, there is a nationwide chicken shortage that is driving up the price of chicken wings.

Like the feeling you get after an incomplete pass, a Super Bowl party without wings can leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.

Wing prices always go up before the Bowl, but this year, the cost of wings has taken flight thanks to a wing shortage across the country.

"Before Christmas, they were $1.29 a pound and now they are up to $1.79, so they have gone up about 50 cents," Cavanaugh's Restaurant and Sports Bar owner Brian Pawliczek said.

At Cavanaugh's, wings are their "bread and butter". On a good night, they can sell 1,600 of them.

This football season, there were a lot of good nights and a huge demand for wings.

"With the New York Giants, the Eagles, Baltimore, there's been a strain on the East Coast," Pawliczek said.

High demand is one thing, but when you mix in the weak economy, the recipe is pretty sour.

Pilgrim's Pride, which supplied one quarter of the country's 24 billion wings last year, filed for bankruptcy protection in December.

The National Chicken Council Board says chicken production is down by 5 percent this year.

But the demand remains the same, and so at Cavanaugh's, the 35 cent wing special is still on the menu. Pawliczek says they'll eat the loss, but keep the wings spicy for a reason.

"With the wings, people have to wash them down with something," Pawliczek said.

Organizers of the Wing Bowl say they have all the wings they need for the event.

WING BOWL ODDS

A GAME OF CHICKEN

PALMYRA - On Friday, Mike Berger will have a wing and a prayer. Actually, he'll have a whole lot of wings and about 20,000 people to watch him eat them.

Before most people get out of bed Friday morning, Berger, 43, of Palmyra, will be attempting to cram as many chicken wings down his throat as his body can handle, while thousands of rowdy onlookers at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia guzzle beer and scream at the top of their lungs during Wing Bowl XVII.

Wing Bowl has become one of the city's more unusual traditions. Hosted by Philadelphia radio station WIP (610 AM), the event began in 1993 in a hotel with two contestants and about 150 people in the crowd.

On Friday at 6 a.m., about 20,000 fans are expected at the South Philadelphia facility to cheer on the 27 contestants, who had to perform an eating stunt to gain entry into the prestigious event.

"I'm ready," Berger said. "It's going to be tough. But I'm right there. I'm hoping to surprise some people. And if I throw up doing it, it's all the better."

Berger, a flooring contractor who goes by the name "The Eating Machine," already has proven he has an iron stomach. Berger ate 32 ounces of mayonnaise in 1 minute, 50 seconds on Angelo Cataldi's show to qualify.

"It was a pretty gross thing," Berger said. "I had failed at a sandwich-eating contest so I had to come up with something creative for the show. I like mayo. I'm not going to lie, but it was rough. I think my body went into shock."

Berger will be Burlington County's lone representative and has a chance of winning the grand prize - a 2009 Mini Clubman.

Ten of Berger's friends will be in the running for the best entourage, which will take home a grand prize of a trip to either Cancun or Punta Cana.

"That's where we think we can win," Berger said. "It's little bit of a surprise but I think we have a good chance of winning best entourage."

According to odds makers, Berger also has a shot to win Wing Bowl. Though he is just 5-foot-8 and weighs 185 pounds, he remains one of the favorites by WIP to win the competition.

Contestants range from Berger's size to as tall as Brian Corrigan of Rockledge, Pa., (6-4, 310 pounds) and as large as Doug Canavins of the Fishtown section of Philadelphia [6-2, 504 pounds].

"Realistically, I'm hoping to finish in the top eight," Berger said. "Each guy in my group, all Palmyra guys by the way, bought about 12 tickets each and I bought another 40 so we should have a pretty good fan base there to cheer us on."

The event is sold out and proceeds from the tickets will be donated to the Philadelphia Police Department through the Philadelphia Police Foundation.

"I've been to Wing Bowl before just to watch and I can tell you it's crazy," Berger said. "Winning would be a great bonus but just being in there is going to be awesome."
