Well, the debate rages on…this time about the merits of spicy chicken wings. Check out this cool article from HALife.com which revisits Jake Melnick’s as well as other topics:

A hot debate takes wing

By Peter Rowe

There are two sides to the Buffalo chicken wings debate.

“There’s nothing better,” said author and restaurateur Kevin Roberts about enjoying a big plate of Buffalo wings. “But it’s all about the flavor. You don’t want it so hot that you can’t taste the food.”

In the heated argument over hot sauces, Roberts represents one side. Don’t call his side unmanly, though - at least not in Roberts’ hearing. His new hangout, East Village Tavern & Bowl in San Diego, is a testosterone-enriched haven for sports fans.

Besides, Roberts has a point. Thermonuclear sauces incinerate everything in their path, including the food’s flavors. That’s no fun.

Or is it?

On the other side of the hot sauce issue is Robin Rosenberg, chef de cuisine at Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap in Chicago. Before ripping into Rosenberg’s wings, diners must sign a waiver: “These wings are gonna be really H-O-T, and I hereby declare that the terms of this waiver and release have been completely read, and I totally get and voluntarily accept that I have no right to whine about anything that happens to my mouth after I accept the challenge.

“I am psyched. I am proud. I am ready.

“So bring ‘em on!”

Time to pick a side.
