Most Worthy Wing Still Flying

 
Our quest continues but is coming to a close soon.  Only 3 remain on our list to be judged.  So I thought this would be a good time to recap and list the rankings thus far.  So here we go, from worst to first. 

14.    4.275  Biggs BBQ  Several broken bones, over smoked, texture and tenderness (TnT) no good.
13.    5.5      23rd St. Brewery  So much black pepper ruined them.
11b.  5.82    Paddy O'Quigley's  "O'Fail".  Good size but no heat.  Flavor profiles didn't match.
11a.  5.82    Wayne 'n Larry's  Many of the wings were overcooked that night.  Sauces okay.
10.    5.9      Set'em Up Jack's  Itty bitty wing committee.  Overcooked and dried out.
9.      6.08    Slow Ride Roadhouse  TnT was hit and miss.  Flavors were so-so.
8.      6.53    Saints Pub   Flavors and TnT were great.  All the broken bones were not great!
7.      6.67    Johnny's Tavern (Original)  TnT was really hit and miss.  Basic Frank's Hot Sauce.
6.      6.84    Yacht Club   Really good sauces helped overcome lack of appearance and TnT. 
4b.    6.9      The Jayhawker   Good looking wings, flavorful, and tasty.  TnT a little inconsistent.
4a.    6.9      Dempsey's Irish Pub  Good flavors and prices. TnT a little inconsistent.
3.      7.825  Jefferson's   Lots of great flavors.  Really good TnT.   Turbo double dipped! 
2.      7.94    Johnny's West  Lots of great flavors.  Classic and flaming combined is really good.
1.      8.325  Conroy's  They told us their wings were the best in Lawrence.  So far they are right. 

So there you have it; so far.  Buffalo Bob's, The Bird Dog, and the place that started it all for us, Henry T's, are all that remain.  I am thinking we are going to have a wing off!
