AP CRAFTERS KITCHEN & BAR WINS BEST WINGS CONTEST

Louisville, KY-- Several local restaurants brought their best wings to compete for the title of best overall, best sauce, most original, and best presentation at the second annual "WING FEST 2011” competition at Phoenix-Hill Tavern

From 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. hundreds of guests were able to taste wings from several local restaurants including Buffalo Wild Wings, AP Crafters, Joe’s Older then Dirt, Shack in the Back and Kilimanjaro Foods and vote for their favorites.

AP Crafters won Best overall, Best Sauce, Best Presentation and Most Original.

Have tried about half of them, and when we want wings we still head out to Rooties! We were there Sat night, and they were as good as ever.

I do have a question for other Rootie lovers: I've never tried the hot wings; the BBQ are so great that I've never ordered any other kind (as far as wings - when you order a "medium-rare" burger the chef understands the meaning of "medium-rare"!).

Should I go for the hot, or stick with the BBQ?

Tried the wings at "Crafters" not long after they opened...they weren't bad but they certainly can't hold a candle to Rooties. I've tried to talk Marty (Rooties) into participating in a couple of these "Wing-offs" and he just chuckles.

Thanks to our terrific staff and the 600 people who voted for us! We will see you next year.
