On August 1st, I was taken out to a dinner of my choice by a business friend. So, I decided to try out the NEW Wing restaurant in downtown New Haven, CT.

The place was nicely arranged, with a friendly staff.

As I was looking through the drink menu, I noticed there was a hot wing contest. The rules were simple, but the challenge was not. Eat 6 wings covered in a impossibly hot sauce in 6 minutes or less. You must leave no meat OR Skin Behind.

Sounds simple right?

Wrong!

These wings were right out of my own recipe book. It was like eating HELLFIRE and you had better start Loving It. As I got ready for the challenge my stomach started to get worried once I smelled the wings. When I was to told to start – I ate with all abandon. Consuming wing after wing, until I had eaten all 6 before the required time limit. Under 3min 30 seconds.

There was a crowd that started to gather, they were cheering me on had helped, but I guess being able to eat something that usually causes most people to faint at the smell let alone eat 6 of those spicy chicken wings was something else.

In the End I won the contest, had my saucy-faced picture taken, and got a Free T-shirt in the process!

Not Bad for a grand opening.

I hope they do well in New Haven. Go Buffalo Wild Wings, New Haven CT.
