They say that there's nothing more American than apple pie, but we're of the opinion that the most patriotic food of all is the chicken wing. Soaked in a variety of different sauces (from classic buffalo to Asian ginger, spicy garlic and honey chili), it's a versatile dish that has become a national staple. Taking place over Memorial Day Weekend, WingOut Chicago celebrates the venerable chicken wing, inviting cooks from Jake Melnick's, Smoke Daddy and more to put their spin on the dish. General admission includes entry and access to live entertainment, with the option to purchase a la carte wings and beverages. Opt for VIP tickets for early entry, all-you-can-eat wings and a drink package.
