BEST IN CHOW - Chris Meets the Lord of the Wings

Back in May of 2014 I met with Chris Nannarone, host of Best in Chow, aka Wing Wars, Pizza Wars, Burger Wars etc.

He interviewed me about what makes great wings, and if you haven't seen the whole episode, here is a clip from my meeting:

I gotta say, they made me look a lot cooler than I really am.

Thanks Chris and the crew of BIC!!!!

Best in Chow interviews Lord of the Wings

I received an invite by a producer of the show Best In Chow to be interviewed for one of their segments, Wing Wars, and I happily agreed.

Best in Chow is hosted by Chris Nannarone and each episode they go to a city and have 3 restaurants compete against each for the title of champion. Chris asks locals where their favourite place to go is, he checks out the top 3, then a panel of judges decide who is the best. In Canada the show is usually toted by it's meal subject nature, "Burger Wars" or "Taco Wars."

Here's a clip from an episode:



Their next season is coming up and they are doing everything from carnival food, lasagna and of course wings.

I met the crew up on Avenue road at a restaurant they were filming in for another segment wasn't open - so on the sidewalk I had make-up applied, was mic'd up and we went around the corner to film against a brick wall. I thought the interview was going to focus on Toronto wings, but it was just wings in general and my opionion that they focused on.

 It was quick, but it was great (and a little weird) to be the focus of expertise. In between camera set ups Chris and I chatted about wings (he likes them big, dry and tasty - no heat) and I learned one of the camera guys did a heat challenge wings with scorpion peppers and was sick for three days.

Thanks for seeking me out and for showcasing Lord of the Wings on your show!

Check out the next season of Best in Chow this June, Cooking Channel in the US and CMT in Canada.

Top Shelf Interviews LOTW

"More Chicken Wings, Anyone?" LOTW inteviewed

Neema Roshania from the Kiplinger, a "Washington, D.C.-based publisher of business forecasts and personal finance advice, available in print, online, audio, video and software products." Contacted me recently about chicken wings and the current shortage in the US.

She recently wrote an article entitled "More Chicken Wings, Anyone?" about a new technique of making a 'third' chicken wing piece based on the removing more meat from the scapula.

The Scapula can be seen at the base of the wings.

I haven't been able to see a photo of this 'Third Wing' yet, so I will be keeping my eyes peeled for this new chicken wing development.

What do you think about this new chicken wing piece?
