LIFE CAFÉ 983 named “BEST WINGS IN BROOKLYN 2011”
Saturday February 12, Kathy Kirkpatrick and Matthew Kopel set up their table at Red Star Bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn to compete in the second annual “Best Wings in Brooklyn” competition. This was Life’s first time in the competition, which was invitation only.
Positioned right by the front door, Life Café veteran server Matthew Kopel greeted each of the 1,500 attendees with a warm bearded smile. The wait for some to come in from the cold for the wing-stravaganza had been as long as 3 ½ hours.
As each wave of customers were allowed into the two-story bar, Matthew tossed Life Café’s famous “Brutal” wings (a secret recipe, guarded by our long-time chef Hector) while Kathy made sure everyone had the condiments and napkins they might require. Wing after wing was sauced and distributed, and many came around on their way out to finish as they had started, declaring “You guys were the best.”
As the day continued, it became clear that Life Café’s wings were more than just popular, they were great. The judges asked for a second round of wings, because, and the competition got even hotter.
Kathy brought reinforcements in the form of her husband John Sunderland and Life Café manager Andy Mills. Soon after, Matthew served the last of the 120 lbs. of wings, and they all shared an anticipatory beer.
Once the judges had announced third place (last year’s winner, Super Wings of Crown Heights) and second place (Bonnie’s of Park Slope) there was a pause where the Life Café posse knew that they had won. And they had!
Life Café 983 makes wings in a scale of flavors: Mild; Medium; Brutal; Suicidal; and Texas Barbeque. (NB: “Brutal” just means “Hot” and “Suicidal” is “Extra Hot” but neither are too extreme!)
While winning was great, the best things about the day were the contribution made to FOOD BANK FOR NEW YORK CITY, and the commoradarie amongst the contestants. Whether it was the amazing ladies at SuperWings, the “Ultimate Wingman” or the fine gentlemen of Keg and Lantern, Life Café made friends Saturday, and friends are what Life is all about.

Texas by way of Life Cafe 983
 
Life Café 983’s Texas Burger will remind you why you love burgers. The Texas Burger is an 8-oz beef patty with Life’s special seasonings on a perfectly grilled sesame seed bun. It’s smothered with melted cheddar cheese, three crispy bacon strips AND to top it off, a fried egg! You get fresh lettuce, red onions and pickles on the side.
This particular Specialty Burger is hard to handle with one hand. Every bite is an explosion of wholesome goodness; yolk oozes out of your mouth and the sound of crunchy bacon travels across the room. It could be a little messy, but as Anthony Bourdain would say, “You can’t be afraid to work for your food – you gotta get in there.” It’s also served with delicious, crispy-brown, seasoned house fries for the perfect accompaniment. Without a doubt, you won’t be hungry after this meal!
