SD TapRoom beat out eight other contestants in the third annual Lord of the Wings contest Saturday, Aug. 17 in Maverick\u2019s Beach Club\u2019s special event parking lot.
\nThe contest raises funds for Discover Pacific Beach, the community\u2019s business improvement district.\u00a0
\n“We had about 300 people at the event,” said Sara Berns, Discover Pacific Beach\u2019s executive director. “I know [SD TapRoom] is planning to do a promotion around the winning Truffalo Wings.”
\nThe TapRoom\u2019s chicken wings are lightly fried and served with carrots and celery, after being tossed in spicy buffalo, hickory bbq, Buffalo bbq, or sesame teriyaki sauces with choice of blue cheese or ranch.\u00a0
\nParticipating restaurants also included Pacific Beach Shore Club, Bub’s at the Beach, Tavern at the Beach, Maverick\u2019s Beach Club, Moonshine Beach, SandBox Pizza & Pints, The Local Pacific Beach and Duck Dive.
\nThe origin of deep-fried chicken wings goes back to 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, N.Y. Anchor Bar co-owner Teressa Bellissimo cooked leftover wings in hot sauce as a late-night snack for her son and his friends. They liked them so much, that the Bellissimos put them on the menu the next day. Served with celery slices and bleu cheese sauce, “Buffalo Wings” were an instant hit.
\nDick Winger, who sold hot sauce to Anchor Bar, went on the road with Dominic Bellissimo, the owners\u2019 son, to promote the item and sell hot sauce. The item gradually caught on with restaurant operators around the country.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
