The cover story in today’s Mountain Xpress, “Asheville’s Best Wings: A Super Bowl-sized chicken-wing challenge,” has our office phones buzzing and people stopping us in the street to share their opinions. Some don’t like it. Some love it. Either way, everyone seems to have their own opinion about just what makes a chicken wing sing (just as, we should note, our local celebrites who served as judges in the challenge did).
It’s a matter of taste, you might say. What do you think of their rankings? And which wings would you add to the list?
