Saucy-smelling fingers and spicy lips. That's what we all came away with after Creative Loafing's Eat My Charlotte Wing Tour on Saturday, March 6.

Our readers and staff hit the road in a big ol' party bus to taste 10 flavors of the best wings in town. We ate (and drank) our way through Charlotte, hitting up Lebowski's, Wing King, D.D. Peckers, and Moosehead Grill.

Thanks to all who joined us for our tour! I hope you had fun. If you weren't on the Wing Tour, check out all the fun you missed:

More Wing Tour research

Posted by Priscilla Tsai on Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 4:32 PM

The things I do for the sake of research. And our readers. Really.

Here are a few pics from a "secret location" where I sampled chicken wings. They were so finger-licking good, I now have orange stained nails ... and I feel so full I want to put on a pair of overalls. Not a good feeling.

You want some of these? Join our Eat My Charlotte Foodie Tour featuring chicken wings on March 6. Yes, it happens to fall on the same day as the UNC vs. Duke basketball game.* The tour can serve as your pre-game party since we'll be serving wings and free beer on the tour bus. Perfect.

*Only UNC fans on the foodie tour, please! (Just kidding ... but not really.)
