A national chicken wing day is this Wednesday but we are kicking things off
a little bit early for you from East Coast Wings Plus Grill in Manassas
franchise owner Lisa Ware joining us this morning with a preview on how they
plan to celebrate. You know we were just talking about makeup I wonder if I could
use wing sauce as my makeup because I'm diving in. This is awesome. Welcome Lisa.
This is just so cool. It's the countdown to wing day but we're about to dive in
right now. Absolutely. So I have a little bit of a spread for you guys. Okay. East Coast
Wings and Grill which we're located in Manassas. We have our heat levels which
goes from mild, medium, hot, extra hot, volcanic and insane. Volcanic? Yes. Oh. So
what makes it a little different is that we have our flavors. We have over 50
flavors and with the flavors there if you want to think of it as being virgin
it's virgin and then you can add your heat to your flavors. So you can make it
your own. So every order is made to order with National Chicken Wing Day. We're
like what better way to come out and showcase our fabulous wings. We actually
have a competition going on right now with a lot of our flavors comes from our
guests believe it or not or some of our employees. So we have a competition going
on and on National Chicken Wing Day we're gonna announce the winner actually.
The winner gets a $2,500 cash prize. Wow. That's amazing. Okay. So these are I didn't put
the flavor on purpose because I wanted I didn't want you guys to have any
pre-judgment based on the names. So we have some mystery flavors that the top
three guests submitted. Okay. So it's in number one, two and three. Now I noticed
Makia went for the flat. I'm a drumstick type of guy. I'm a flats kind of girl
but I'll get some drumsticks too. I don't discriminate. Yes. So that's flavor number one. Okay. To the wings. Cheers. Any
promotions going on as well for Chicken Wing Day? Yes absolutely. So Wednesday
every Wednesday usually it's kids eat free at East Coast Wings but for this
Wednesday in honor of National Chicken Wing Day and also our mascot who is Coop
it's you know get it chicken coop. It is his first birthday that so we're gonna
go ahead and allow kids to eat all day for free. We have some prizes for them
some fun things for them to do while they join with us. We'll give you we
always have specials and drinks wings for that day. Okay. So what are you
getting? What flavor are you getting from this? I'm trying to nail it. It's not
spicy. Not at all. It's a little bit sweet just a little a tad bit. Okay. All
right. So are you gonna tell us or? I'm gonna wait till you guys try it. Just a little sample. You don't have to eat all of it. I know it's messy. It's messy. Here's the best part. They're actually. But I do want you to in order tell me which one
you know you might like first, second, third. And then folks that actually get a
chance to come on Wednesday will they actually take part in the same event? No they won't but
they I mean they can always be able to order. I know the main ingredient in this
I can tell. Mayo. Mango? Mayo. Okay. Okay. She said okay. You have to wait. Okay. The last one. Okay. All right let's go. And so I'm curious does anyone ever start with mild and
eventually end up with insanity? Do they cover the whole spectrum if you will? I
think they pretty much for the most part know like where they want to start when
they come in and honestly some people they don't want any heat level on their
wings. They just want it naked which is quite fine. They dip it in a ranch or
homemade ranch and we have blue cheese if you prefer. I know what this is too. Yeah you know
what that one is. What do you think? Teriyaki ginger? Yep there you go. You're
close. You're close. Really? A little soy too I tasted. Uh huh. Uh huh. Right on. All right so I'm gonna rank them. So you guys tell me in your order. Ladies first. I'll go first. All right cool. I will go with this middle one. Number two I
believe. Okay. Number three coming in a strong second and we'll wrap up in the end
with number one. Okay. Okay. For me I like the teriyaki soy situation. Situation. Uh huh. Uh huh.
And yeah I still don't know exactly which one that is. And then the mayo one. Okay. Okay. Okay.
So what do we get? All right so this first one is our barbecue peppercorn. Wow. That was submitted.
So um it does we do have um some flavors that were mixed together. Again these are guests that came up
with it. Um so this one is our Carolina ranch. Again that's um one that a guest submitted as
well. Okay. And then this one is a Korean Thai. So yes it does have a little soy in there. A little
kick. A little banger. These I didn't give you guys with heat because I didn't know how hot you
could take it. So these are virgin. Um which is what our flavors are. But you could add like the
heat level to your wings. Yeah the key if this tv thing doesn't work out you have a chance to do
something all things chicken wings. Because you were good. I love a little guessing game. I'm
off to a big booty over here. But eastcoastwings.com. Check them out. Lisa thanks for being here.
