Funny quote here from the Fort Wayne, IN newspaper. Seems I've added competitive eating to my resume... :-)“Seems like most people these days are following Kobyashi with the ‘dunk and drive’ – basically dipping the hot dog and bun together in water and then slamming them into the mouth as fast as possible,” competitive eater Scott “The Cluckbucket” Roth says. “The other one that I’ve seen is a ‘

After a short delay, Fire On the Mountain 2 has officially opened it's doors for business on the ever renewing strip of East Burnside in Portland. The silent opening (the place was completely packed even though they didn't do any promotion, just opened up the doors) makes FOTM the first locally owned and operated wing joint in Portland to have mulitlpe locations - and marks another monumental

Was on a work trip in the Bay Area last week and was able to sneak away for an hour to check out University Chicken right off of Santa Clara's campus. All-in-all it was a pretty solid visit. The wings were very large and fresh, but slightly breaded and I think I'm done with breading. Pictures below and you can read the full review at the bottom of the California page in the Internet Hot Wing

Fire on the Mountain and Cluckbucket.com were recently featured in a BusinessWeek article about local restaurant success tactics and the burgeoning wing scene in Portland. It was reported in the article that in just it's third year of business, FOTM has topped $1M in revenues. I guess Portland is a sustainable wing town afterall...Check out the article at the link below:Restaurateurs Don't Just

A vegan restaurant in Brooklyn is going to hold the first ever "Vegan Buffalo Wing Eating Contest" on Wednesday, January 16 at 6:00. It should be interesting to see how much publicity this event gets because of its novelty concept.Check out the story here:Brooklyn Restaurant Holds First Ever Vegan Buffalo Wing Eating ContestI'm all for it, but I rather they call it the first ever "Fake Chicken

So check this out, this guy Phred Barnet reached out to me last month and apparently he has an annual tradition, to eat nothing but chicken wings for the month of January. He successfully completed this feat back in January of 2007 and has decided to make a cluck of it again in 2008. He's about a third of the way through the journey and has eclipsed the 200 wing mark - apparently he is pacing

A friend sent me some recent blog posts that had comparisons of the wing joints in Portland, OR. Very interesting read, and I'm very to glad that there are others as obsesed about chicken wings in Portland as I am. Overall I agree with the Blogger's assessment, Fire on the Mountain still is my favorite wing joint in Portland and I can't wait to see what happens when they open up their second

Fire On the Mountain, hands down the best wing joint in Portland, and perhaps the best wing joint on the entire West Coast is set to open their second location in the near future - hopefully by the end of January.The new location will be at 18th and E.

I also had a chance to taste a killer new wing sauce that was sent out to me from Tennessee, Suck Creek Wings. They make original, medium, and spicy BBQ flavors and they are all fantastic, but the original is my favorite.Read the official Cluckbucket review at the link below:Cluckbucket Review: Suck Creek WingsPeace, love, and grease!Scott "The Cluckbucket" RothPS: If you have a wing sauce that

There's a new serving tray that is taking the world of wings by storm. I recently had a chance to do an official Cluckbucket review and was very impressed with how it performed.

Hi Cluckbucket Friends-Just wanted to let you know that I've finally come out of the lingering wing coma that I was in following the National Buffalo Wing Festival. Actually, I wasn't just off the wings, but I was also travelling a good amount for work (not to any great wing cities, although I did manage to sneak away to a Wingstop in Las Vegas) so I wasn't able to get much accomplished in the
