Returning for his tenth year at WingFest is host and celebrity judge, WXRT’s very own, Lin Brehmer. With his ever present sidekick Chicken-Man pumping the crowd, Lin will be providing the play by play for the “Lord of the Wings” eating contest, (as seen on YouTube), and one of the day’s most talked about highlights.
Besides feasting on the city’s best offering of delectable wings, WingFest ticket holders are also treated to the live music of Cadillac Dave and the Chicago Redhots – a genuine blues experience that brings an additional element of Chicago into the mix. The entertainment continues as the band plays with live icon portrait paintings on 4 foot by 5 foot canvases by “E” of ArtBeat Live!
