Last Tuesday, the 34th annual UCP Heartland CoMo Wing Ding brought hundreds of residents to Logboat Brewing Company to sample wings from five local restaurants: Como Smoke & Fire, D. Rowe’s, D & D Pub n Grub, Flat Branch and Dickey’s.

Each restaurant competed for trophies and bragging rights for the best wings in three categories and a People’s Choice award. Local celebrity judges blind tasted and rated the wings based on appearance, tenderness and taste/flavor.

Winning wings included:

• Dry Rub: Dickey’s
• Buffalo: Dickey’s
• Specialty: D & D Pub n Grub, Flat Branch (tied)
• People’s Choice: D. Rowe’s

All proceeds from the event helped fund local United Cerebral Palsy programs to support children with intellectual disabilities.
