Now in its 9th year, the Asheville Wing War has become one of the area’s most notable and exciting food events. This year’s competition will take place on Sunday, March 8, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel and Resort.
Up to fifteen restaurants will prepare spicy traditional wings or specialty wings of a variety of flavors, and serve them up piping hot with a side of live music and ice cold beer.
Tickets are now available and cost $25 for general admission and $50 for VIP access.
The wings will be judged by a panel of celebrity judges in a blind taste test in two categories: specialty and traditional buffalo style. Attendees will also have the opportunity to vote for their favorite wing and select the People’s Choice Award.
