WingIt 2011

Nom nom nom nom nom nom... oh hello there!  Gigantor close up picture coming your way!

Last Tuesday, DOS got invited to a special Media pre-event tasting for this year's WingIt Festiaval at Rockit Bar & Grill.  It's a week long event where Rockit puts out a different flavor of yummy wings for each day of the festival.  These special nyummies will be available on the menu for $10 for a dozen wings.

But of course before we sit, gotta take a few outfit snaps.  =)

So here's the little description and info on the week long event.

Rockit Bar & Grill’s ‘WingIt’ is back for the third year in a row! Coinciding with the kick-off of football season, Executive Chef James Gottwald and Chef Amanda Downing put their culinary spin on the sports bar favorite and offer a delicious and original recipe for each day of the business week. Daily variations include Tuesday’s Polynesian Wings (scallions, grilled pineapple, rum red pepper glaze), Wednesday’s Greek Wings (wild oregano, garlic, lemon, feta cheese, tzatziki dip) and Friday’s Waldorf Wings (apples, walnuts, apple jack brandy glaze, blue cheese fondue). Foodies and sports enthusiasts…unite!

Rockit River North will be celebrating ‘WingIt’ September 12th – 16th and Rockit Wrigley will offer ‘WingIt’ on September 15th and 16th only. On a related note we will offer our signature Rockit Wings for $7 on Saturdays and Sundays for game days.

Here is the preview for the WingIt Menu.

I am posting two pictures because this one was my absolute faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite!  DUNK don't just dip.. DIZUUUUUUNK the wing into that fondue sauce.  Oy vey it's so good.  If I didn't have a wedding to go to that Friday, I would be at Rockit ordering dozens of these.  So please go have some and tell me how good it is so I can relive it through you guys.  =)

We also got some other goodies from the regular menu.

Avocado Lobster - a must!

Tuna Tartar - I'm not a fan of tuna so this was more for Blog Nazi

And crab cakes - me love crab cakes

And of course Blog Nazi had to get dessert.  Quick don't look at the next picture and guess which one he got!

If you said Three Tier Banana Cake do a little mini-wave in celebration of your correct guess.  =)

Thank you Rockit and the wonderful staff for treating us so well.
