Hard Times Cafe Hosts Second Annual Wing Bowl
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Friday, January 14th, 2011
While they may be known more for their chili, all the Hard Times in the area are promoting the heck out of their wings this month. Seven qualifying “Wing Offs” will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays between Jan. 11 and Feb. 1. Up to twenty-eight contestants at each location will be expected to eat as many buffalo wings as they possibly can in 10 minutes.
DJ’s from 106.7 “The Fan” will host the events, and sign up begins once they show up. The next opportunity to participate or just watch it all unfold is Tuesday Jan. 18 in Clarendon. The contests continue Thursday Jan. 20 in Fairfax. Locations in Manassas and Springfield will host one of their own on Jan. 25 and Jan. 27 respectively. The festivities start at 7 p.m. at all locations, but arrive early to reserve a spot in the competition or just a chair of your own near the action.
The top four from each qualifier will advance to the second annual Wing Bowl Championship on Thursday Feb. 3 in Springfield. Challengers will be competing for the prize of $2,500. Second place will win $1,000 for their trouble, and the bronze medal comes in the form of a brand new iPad. Hope it’s worth it!
