Last set of West Seattle weekend scenes: “Cock of the Block”

(Photos courtesy Bellavita Photography by Deborah Semer)
Though we do our best to canvass the peninsula for the West Seattle Weekend Lineup, we obviously had one glaring omission this past weekend: The Cock of the Block chicken-wing cookoff Saturday night at Alki Tavern. Didn’t hear about it till we got a Facebook note asking, didn’t they see us there and where’s the coverage? Turns out that Deborah Semer was there taking photos – and sent us the link tonight. Five cooks, and five bucks got you 10 wings. There were even blindfolded judges!

And the winner was …

That’s Alki Tavern’s own “Sweet Lou,” hoisting the ginormous trophy:

His second win in a row, by the way.

    Such little wings, such a huge trophy. Where do you keep a trophy like that?

    Sorry we missed this! Do they normally serve wings at Alki Tavern? Who’s got the best wings in west Seattle?

    Between the name of the event and the size of the trophy, I have so many one liners that have come to mind….

    I personally find chicken wings disgusting, but that trophy is AWESOME! It almost makes me want to try some wings again.

Sorry, comment time is over.
