Wings around the World featured on WGN Channel 9

Some news we wanted to pass on:

Major shouts to all the Wings Arond The World Family......Got some great news on Monday the 10th of May, We were featured on the new show on WGN at 10pm Sundays called Chicago's Best.

Our feature will be shown on the 23rd of May 2010.....please set the Tivo or the DVR to record this show or just be glued to the TV.

Please tell as many people as possible.

Here is a written version of the piece http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/chicagos-best/2010/05/a-wing-for-every-country-almost.html#more

We reported on a Tribune/Metromix/RedEye poll featuring Wings Around the World. We later found some suspicious activity, the poll numbers never changed, despite the poll allegedly still being open.

Perhaps they noticed, and are now doing our local businesses justice. Uncle John's staff have noticed significant increase in business since they appeared on Chicago's Best. We hope the same will happen.

Previous stories, now in print...

We posted the link about New Covenant Misisonary Baptist Church hosting the pledge by several Baptist churches to raise $50 million for Haiti. It is in today's Chicago Tribune, paper edition.

Also, on Tuesday, the RedEye, published the "results" of their survey.

I still believe it was fixed, as numbers barely changed from Fridya morning to Sunday night.

Here's the link to my claim --> Is the Metromix Poll fixed?

In tuesday's print RedEye, absolutely no numbers were published (either votes, or percentages).

i did notice the link we had here was messed up, so i apologize if anyone tried. to vote but couldn't.

But for the Tribune to not post ANY numbers?! Very shady stuff.

Let us know what you think...

Is the Metromix / Chicago Tribune poll fixed, against the South Side?

We reported on Friday about a poll
On Friday Yesterday (Friday) at 4:30pm, there were the following results:

54% = Chicken Vesuvio wings from Bull & Bear
08% = Spicy ChiWings from Mahoney's Pub & Grille
08% = Little Italy-style giardiniera wings from Timothy O' Toole's
02% = CrossRoads burgundy-glazed wings
28% = Chicago wings from Wings Around the World

Saturday at 7am, and at 6pm the exact same results.

Sunday at 7am is the exact same results.

On Monday, as of 8:30 am, the stats were as follows:

53% = Chicken Vesuvio wings from Bull & Bear
08% = Spicy ChiWings from Mahoney's Pub & Grille
08% = Little Italy-style giardiniera wings from Timothy O' Toole's
02% = CrossRoads burgundy-glazed wings
29% = Chicago wings from Wings Around the World

A change of 1% between the first & second place leaders...after i posted some comments about possible fraud.

What do you think? Is the poll from Metromix / Chicago Tribune fixed?

People can still vote, but the results seem vurtually the same.

Try it yourself...let's see what happens on Tuesday.
