17 of the best bars and culinary establishments, from all over the Borough, notorious for their wings are set to cook-off at 3PM on Saturday, February 13, 2010. Brooklyn journalists and culinary editors, Nick D'Arienzo of the BROOKLYN STAR-QUEENS LEDGER Newspaper Group, Gersh Kuntzman, Editor, THE BROOKLYN PAPER and Annaliese Griffin, Senior Editor, Brooklyn Based will put their expert taste buds to the test and select the Best Wing in Brooklyn!

Based on the judge's scores and the scores of the community (yes, the public has a say too), Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will hand out awards for the Best Wing in Brooklyn, 2 Best Wing Runners-up, and a People's Choice Award.

And what's a Brooklyn wing competition without the best beer in Brooklyn? Brooklyn Brewery will be featuring 6 of their finest beers on tap, including Brooklyn Lager, Winter Ale, East India Pale Ale, and their Brewmaster Reserves, Blast, Back Breaker and Cookie Jar Porter, a new addition to the Brewmaster roster.

"If you ask me, the best wing in Brooklyn is the best wing in the world. I'll be washing mine down with pints plural of East India Pale Ale." - Annaliese Griffin, Senior Editor, Brooklyn Based
