You know, after we put up this week’s category we thought, huh, this might have been a good week to award a single winner. There’s not that many joints that do wings in the county.

In the end it mattered not. When checked in on the up arrows at the noon Humboldt Approved deadline, the vote leaders in both our metro and rural categories had both tallied 85 votes a piece. Uh, it’s a “tie.”

So congrats to both Humboldt Brews and Six Rivers Brewery. Humboldt approves of what it is you do to chicken parts.

Original Post: We begin this week’s Humboldt Approved with a confession: certain members of the LoCO staff (^^^) have a bit of a wing problem. While we’re almost sure that in 150 years human beings will read about the meat eating ways of their ancestors with a similar revulsion as that we currents feel toward slavery — you know that’s the way things are headed, right? — we still can’t help slathering mangled chicken parts in ranch and shoving them in our gross orange faces. Wings we desire!

As such, we have big opinions about which establishments make Humboldt’s best wings. In this arena, however, our tastes matter not. You tell us, LoCO Army, who makes HumCo’s best wings?

This is a twofer winner week. As always, your rules:

To vote, look through the comments of this Humboldt Approved poll. If someone has already nominated the answer you would give for that week’s category, click the upvote arrow. If you don’t see your desired Humboldt Approved answer nominate it in a comment for others to upvote. (Please be careful to not duplicate answers; redundant answers will be deleted and potential associated upvotes will be lost.) Feel free to make your case by replying to/cheering on the answer you love most, but again the number by the arrows is what counts.

Of course, you can vote for as many nominees as you deem worthy, but of course the more you do that the more watered down your initial vote becomes. That’s math.

We reserve the right to delete superfluous comments that make the voting/comment section hard to sift through. Please try not to get offended when your comment battle reply is deleted. We’re trying to do something here.

We are looking for two winners — one winner from the metropolises of Eureka and Arcata, and one from Humboldt’s smaller communities. Voting closes next Friday at noon and soon after a winner will be declared. (Tip: Sort comments by “BEST” to get a better grasp of how voting is trending.)

OK. Do it.

(Don’t let this ^ confuse you.)
