What kind of shiz is this?!?

Nordic Cold Storage employees, Dewayne Patterson and Renaldo Jackson were recently arrested by the Gwinnett County police for allegedly lifting a whopping $65,000 worth of Tyson chicken wings, and even though the men were taken into custody, no one knows where the wings are. LOLz

McDonalds is testing out chicken wings in Chicago starting this week!

They're called "Mighty Wings" and they're expected to be sold in three, five and ten pieces, starting at about $3.

Mickey Ds tends to test new items in select markets before going national with them.

Could chicken wings become a staple of the McDonalds menu??

There can only be one!

Hooters, a restaurant famous for hiring hot chicks to serve chicken wings, is suing a rival restaurant, Twin Peaks, for hiring hot chicks to serve chicken wings.

The "delightfully tacky yet unrefined" restaurant chain has filed a lawsuit in Georgia federal court this week accusing La Cima, the company behind Twin Peaks, and a former Hooters executive of stealing trade secrets.

The suit claims former Hooters vice president Joseph Hummel quit in July to join the Twin Peaks team, but took “sensitive business information” with him.

He allegedly downloaded and emailed a “substantial volume” of Hooters documents, including plans related to management, recruitment, distribution and sales.

However, it sounds like Hooters is mostly concerned with the threat of increased competition.

Twin Peaks, which boasts "eats, drinks, and scenic views" while featuring women wearing flannel bikini-like tops paired with tan hiker shorts, only has 15 restaurants in 5 states compared to Hooters' 400 locations across the nation.

However, it sounds like Hooters may be concerned with the growing threat of competition.

La Cima has announced plans to open 35 Twin Peaks franchises throughout the Southeast over the next 10 years and, according the suit, that "directly competes with [Hooters] in the market of casual dining restaurants with an all female waitstaff.”

They argue their "iconic" Hooters Girls are the "cornerstone of the [Hooters] concept."

Joseph Hummel on the other hand, says Twin Peaks differentiates itself from Hooters because it “brings a different feel, a different makeup of food.”

Innerestingly enough, La Cima filed a lawsuit in 2009 against a restaurant in Arkansas called Northern Exposure for infringing on Twin Peaks’ “trade dress.”

Congrats!

Sonya "Black Widow" Thomas, who won the 2011 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest women's division, didn't need any gender segregation to set a world record at the 10th annual Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival this weekend!

She even bested the 2011 men's hot dog eating champion, Joey Chestnut, by 9 wings after downing 183 chicken wings in 12 minutes!

We can't even fathom eating that many chicken wings in a month! LOLz!

While we cringe at the idea of eating so much food in so little time, we marvel at Sonya's fine figure and ability to beat the boys at a game (most likely) created by boys!

Go gurl! Check out the video above to see Sonya in action!

Among other fattening treats!

Jay-Z put his money behind a chicken wings restaurant in Brooklyn called Buffalo Boss.

Its menu includes deep fried Snickers, Twinkies and Oreo cookies! But it also has healthy salads along with organic chicken sans hormones.

And the restaurant, which is owned by the rapper's cousin Jamar White, even gave away free food to students at the local school who received good grades.

Ha. Love it!
