Rattlers & Knighthawks to Determine 'Best Wings in Town'
June 25, 2008 - Major League Lacrosse (MLL)
Dallas Rattlers News Release
(Rochester, NY)... The Rochester Rattlers and Rochester Knighthawks players, staff, fans and media will embark on a 12-stop, three-month tour of Rochester to determine, "Who has the best wings in town." The promotion, "Wingin' it with the Rattlers and Knighthawks," begins on Thursday, June 26th at 1:00 p.m. at Rookies Neighborhood Sports Bar at 2351 Buffalo Road in Gates.
Rochester Rattler and Knighthawk Shawn Wilkins will be the headlining celebrity judge. He will be joined by Rattlers and Knighthawks play-by-play broadcaster Craig Rybczynski, Communications Coordinator Warren Kosel, and the President of the Rattlers Rowdies and K-Hawks Krew Tim Knab.
The Rattlers and Knighthawks will crown the "King of the Wing" in late August prior to the Major League Lacrosse Final Four Weekend (August 23-24).
Each restaurant/bar will receive a rating of one to four silver lacrosse sticks, with four being the highest mark. The judges will sample traditional wings, extra hot and the store's signature wing. The panel will also score the blue cheese and celery at each stop. Lastly, the ambiance could factor into the decision with photos, décor and famous patrons playing a role. The critiques will be posted on the team's official websites two days after the events. Rochesterratlers.com will also include a photo gallery of the visit.
The winner will receive an autographed Rattlers or Knighthawks jersey to hang in their store and a plaque from the teams symbolizing their achievement.
