You may take a look at the listing of collaborating eating places right here, and know that the roster and particular dishes are being added repeatedly. Listed here are a couple of I have already got my eyes on:
It needs to be a aggressive household affair as Hattie B’s squares off towards its progenitor, Bishop’s Meat & 3. Like a vampire going after its maker, Hattie B’s is providing a Wings and Waffles dish for the competitors, whereas Bishop’s goes larger with a full leg quarter and a aspect dish plus a roll.
Limo Peruvian Eatery is increasing the geography of scorching rooster with their spicy Brasa rooster served with limo and rocoto scorching sauce, crispy potatoes and chimichurri. Right here’s hoping that one stays on the menu after the week is up!
You may at all times depend on Punk Wok to give you one thing barely off-kilter, and their Curry Again Mutha Cluckers! seems to be delightfully wacky. The plate is roofed with vindaloo sauce and a yogurt drizzle earlier than a naan is positioned beneath an infernal South Indian-spiced piece of fried rooster topped with mango and candy pickle chutney.
BoomBozz is making Sizzling Hen Week a problem for you. They’re daring you to eat six wings in seven minutes for eight {dollars}. Suppose that sounds straightforward? Not so quick. These wings are spiced with two of probably the most intense peppers on this planet — Dragon’s Breath and Carolina Reapers. I really interviewed the new head behind the Reaper, and that dude is loopy! He actually needs to harm individuals. Rumor is that the Dragon’s Breath makes the Carolina Reaper style like a inexperienced bell pepper. I, for one, don’t need to discover out.
However in the event you do determine to trip the snake, be sure you tell us — and vote for all of your favorites.
