bought at the gas station. We’re
think you’ve got the chops — and
the stomach — then Godspeed to
you; you’re probably planning on
competing at Hot Mama’s Wings’
Kamikaze Smackdown I Monday,
May 14.
This challenge isn’t for the faint
of heart: Wings covered in kamikaze
sauce, fi ve minutes to consume as
many as is humanly possible and
only one napkin. With big prizes to
be won, and entry fees to be donated
to United Way, there’s incentive to
eat, and that makes for grueling
determination. Wipe away those
tears people, it’s gonna be a scorcher.
Hot Mama’s Wings’ Kamikaze
