"Will There Be A Chicken Wing Shortage in 2014"
By Mike Lew

Last January, football fans and wing enthusiasts everywhere were brought to their knees by predictions of a chicken wing shortage directly ahead of the Super Bowl. Slate called it "The Great Chicken Wing Shortage of 2013." Although Time and US news pooh-poohed the crisis, Fox News fanned the flames of panic by demanding to know, "Who's to Blame for Nation's Chicken Wing Shortage?" Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert made fun of it and ESPN ran a surprisingly cogent analysis.

Was all of that hand-wringing worth it? Absolutely. Americans eat 1.23 billion wings on Super Bowl Sunday alone. Like wearing our lucky underwear, it's a sacred tradition that we go into Game Day getting our Buffalo on. With this year's Super Bowl on the horizon, Americans DEMAND to be kept abreast of the chicken wing situation.

"Wing Zone flies into St. Louis market"
By E.B. Solomont

Is there a chicken war brewing? 

Wing Zone, a restaurant concept based in Atlanta, is set to open its first St. Louis location next month, just weeks after Raising Cane's debuted its first stand-along store in the area, located in Des Peres less than a half-mile from Chick-fil-A.

The Wing Zone restaurant will be located at 1643 S. Jefferson Ave., in a shopping center that was redeveloped by Green Street St. Louis for $8 million. (The Jefferson Commons shopping center is also home to a new Save-A-Lot, which opened last week.)

In an increasingly crowded chicken field, Wing Zone bills itself as a fast-casual, cook-to-order concept. Most of its business is takeout, but for customers who stay and eat, servers bring the food to their tables. 

"People want the quality of a sit-down restaurant but want the value of a lower price," said CEO Matt Friedman, who co-founded the company as a college student.
