(Rochester, NY) - Former Rochester Knighthawks and Rattlers defenseman Regy Thorpe will serve as a celebrity judge at the Rochester Rattlers and Knighthawks Chicken Wing Contest. The former veteran captain will attend the 10th installment on Tuesday, August 12th at 8:00 p.m. at The California Brew Haus at (402 Ridge Rd. West).
Warren Kosel and Tom Winslow of the Knighthawks and Rattlers Communications Department will also sample California Brew Haus' wings from the Ridge Rd. location. Members of the Rattlers Rowdies and Knighthawks Krew will also be present to take part in the event.
Thorpe will rate the wings as part of the Rattlers and Knighthawks 12-stop, three-month tour of Rochester to determine, "Who has the best wings in town". 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, 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.
