Two thousand wings, five wing havens, one champion.

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que was crowned the winner of the inaugural New York City WingFest this past Saturday at a wildly popular event sponsored by BroBible.com and TheSocialScholar.com. With Dinosaur executive chef Jeff "Cooter" Coon hand-saucing every batch of his sweet and not too spicy wings, the crowd of more than 180 wing lovers ate up every last wing and overwhelming hailed the West Harlem stalwart as the king of New York City wings. Blondies Sports placed second, with Atomic Wings just edging out Blue Smoke for third position. Croxley's Ale House & Eatery rounded out the five participants.

A big shout out to the staff of Brother Jimmy's in Murray Hill, to all our restaurant participants, and to everyone who showed up and voted for their favorite wings!

Check back tomorrow for photos from the event and in the meantime check out Asylum.com's coverage of the event here
