PARSIPPANY, N.J., Aug. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- America's desire for the distinct taste of all things "Buffalo" has risen to a new level, resulting in the anticipation of record-setting crowds at this year's 12th Annual National Buffalo Wing Festival. The event historically draws more than 90,000 wing enthusiasts from every state as well as from 36 different countries around the world. Festival lovers will enjoy the U.S. Chicken Wing Eating Championships as well as tasting events that showcase the secrets of over a hundred varieties of sauces from mild to extra hot. In addition, what was once known as just a "flavor" that complemented wings has expanded to mainstream usage with Buffalo Wing Sauce now used on all sorts of food including burgers, wraps, sandwiches, soups and even scrambled eggs! Visitors have the opportunity to sample wings from more than 25 vendors that feature hundreds of flavors. Last year, attendees consumed 37 tons (550,000) of wings, as well as countless gallons of Frank's RedHot.
As the secret ingredient in the original Buffalo wing sauce recipe, Frank's RedHot, with its perfect blend of flavor and heat,has been the go-to favorite wing sauce since the original recipe was created in 1964.
