Presentation Transcript

  1. How it all Started… The creator of the Buffalo Wing Festival, Drew Cerza, was inspired to start this proud Buffalonian tradition from a movie starring Bill Murray. The movie was Osmosis Jones. Bill Murray played the character of an ambitious and compulsive eater. His life long goal was to attend the Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival, which was nothing but fiction at the time. Drew Cerza made it happen here in Buffalo in 2002. It has been going on each year after that at Coca-Cola Field in Downtown Buffalo. • http://www.buffalowing.com/c-20-festival-history.aspx

  2. The Wing Fest in Numbers… Over 407,000 people served! 2.4 Million Wings Consumed! 137 tons of Wings in Weight! 191 Restaurants Participated! Over $125,000 raised for Charity! 1 Wedding! (2006)

  3. The Wing King… Drew Cerza, better known as the Wing King, is the father and founder of the Annual Buffalo Wing Festival. Cerza has been featured on many nationally broadcasted shows and showdowns. He was challenged by world renowned TV Chef Bobby Flay to create the best Chicken Wing. Of course, Cerza won. He has shared his perfect Buffalo Wing recipe on The View, Live! With Regis and Kelly, The Food Network and many more national news channels.

  4. Tourism Boost… It is shown on the Wing Fest website that there are 4 local hotels located near both the Buffalo Airport and Coca-Cola Field. All of these Hotels also provide discounted rates for people out of town visiting Buffalo for the Buffalo Wing Festival.
