Australian Buffalo Wing Festival 2016

Overview

If the latest food event heading to Brisbane needs a theme song, it has plenty of options to choose from. Sure, most tracks that reference wings in their name come soaked in emotion (we're thinking about Jeffrey Osbourne's 'On the Wings of Love' and Bette Midler's 'Wind Beneath My Wings', for starters, because '80s tunes are just that impossible to forget). But hey, who isn't in love with crispy, deep-fried chicken wings?

We're going on about potential anthems because the Australian Buffalo Wing Festival will make you want to sing an ode to its titular dish, we're betting. That's what showcasing all the great places in Brissie that sell these delectable sites of poultry does. Well, that and fill your stomach.

Featuring everywhere from Bella BBQ to Yardbird, Barcadia to The Manhattan Line, and Newstead Brewing Co to Ze Pickle among its 24 locations, the fest is a choose-your-own-adventure kind of affair; basically, pick an eatery from one of the four regions highlighted on the four days from August 31 to September 3, and start munching. Or, go on a Buffalo-crawl in search of the 66 deals on offer. Each joint will be serving up their own flavours, including honey mustard at Wing Blaster and Hawaiian at Shady Palms, so you really will want to taste them all.
