Recently a group of reckless foodie thrill seekers banded together to form the Yelp Wing Warriors and we endeavor to travel around the Greater Toronto Area sampling the hotest and craziest flavours of chicken wings around.
Our first official meet up took place just over a week ago and Duff's Famous Wings was the place. The Target, tempting fate and the "end of the world as we know it" by tangoing with the mighty Armageddon.
I would honestly say that the hype and anticipation were almost, and I say almost worse that the wings them selves. The night we visited Duffs was wing night and for $7 ad change and the purchase of a drink you get a pound of their "famous" wings. We opted to each get a different flavour and speaking of flavours I like that they've kept to the classics: Medium, Hot, Extra Hot, Suicide, Super Suicide, Death and Armageddon. Each having a similar flavour base just upping the heat as you go.
Their claim to fame is that someone has eaten 70 Armageddons in an hour so we decided that we would order and extra pound of this spicy beast and share amongst our group. I managed to down about 3 of these and while I enjoyed the taste of the Armageddon it was certainly manageable and I can see how someone with a big appetite was able to down 70 of them and live to tell the tale.
Overall nothing mind blowing, taste buds were slightly numb and next day the morning festivities were certainly spicy. HOWEVER, if Armageddon truly represented "the end of the world as we know it" then... "I feel fine."
Live to Wing Another Day.
Eatcrest OUT!!
