I LOVE LOVE LOVE HOTWINGS

There was one stop that I would make before even going to the house on the way home from college. It wasn't that I wanted to make a stop before going home, but it was that i HAD to make this stop. I would think about this place, imagine the smell of it, taste of it, and then get to the point where the desire for it was too much for me to bear....CRUMPYS!

So, people ask me all the time "why did you move to New York"? There are many reasons, professionally mostly, however one reason I NEVER give is "because the food is better in NYC". Call me crazy, but I will take my good old Memphis home-cooked food over this New York shee shee food any day.

I am so mad that no one ever told me about this event that I happen to find today on the web.....Southern Hotwing Contest and Festival happening this Saturday. Did you all know this festival has been going on for 7 years now? Crazy right? The cost is only $3, but I don't think that includes the cost of the wings. Check it out and let me know how it was.
