So, a week or so ago, I tasked our regular contributors to fill out a spreadsheet ranking the wings and establishments we’ve eaten at so far.  There are 5 regular contributors: Scott, Mike, Steve, Shawn, and myself.  Each day, we’ll release one of our polls until day 6, when we’ll release the accumulative poll.  Without further adieu, here is Shawn’s official ballot:

1. Kazbor’s Grille
2. Decision’s
3. KauKau Koner
4. Beef O’ Brady’s
5. Winner’s Circle
6. Bedrock Cafe
7. Ale Gator’s
8. Chili’s
9. Salem’s
10. Ker’s Winghouse
11. Hooters

(It’s important to note that Shawn did not rank “The Gym” as he was on vacation that week)

Keep in mind that we realize these aren’t all of the wing establishments in Lakeland - our quest is far from over. Also, it’s important to note that these are ranked on 6 subjective criteria: Wings, Heat, Variety, Service, Value, and Atmosphere. Although Kazbor’s scored the highest, Decision’s is Shawn’s Best Wing.  The rest of Shawn’s leaders - Kazbor’s and KauKau tied for Best Heat - Kazbor’s, Decision’s, and Beef’s for Variety - Decision’s for Service - Kazbor’s for value (although, to be fair, we went on “all you can eat wings” Thursday) - and Ale Gator’s for Best Atmosphere.

Tomorrow, we’ll let you inside Scott’s head (scary!) . . .
