Best Wings in Brooklyn for Super Bowl at Life Café 983
Starting at 6 pm, we’re having a Super Bowl (shown on two TV’s) Sunday party at Life Café 983 in Bushwick and guess what? We expect to sell a LOT of our famous chicken wings, you know, the recipe that won the 
“Best Wings of Brooklyn 2011” contest last February.
There’ll be $2 PBR/Bud/Bud Light, $2 well whiskey shots and $10 pitchers of Brooklyn Lager to go along with them. And for added fun, randomly throughout .the game, we’ll announce funky drink specials that last only 10 minutes.
We’re also offering our popular chips and salsa for $3 and for $2 more you can have Hector’s Spicy Cheese Dip.
You’ll also likely find us testing a new rendition of our famous Veggie Chili. So give it a try too!
I find it interesting that chicken wings are so popular during Super Bowl so I did a little research about them. Here’s a few facts:
It’s estimated there will be 1.25 billion eaten this weekend.
US Dept. of Agriculture says that Super Bowl Sunday is the second largest food consumption day of the year behind Thanksgiving and chicken wings are on just about every menu.
The National Chicken Council (NCC) says that Super Bowl weekend is the biggest time of the year for wings. Those 1.25 billion wings total more than 100 million pounds of wings.
If the wings were laid end-to-end they would circle the circumference of the Earth more than twice, a distance that would just about reach a quarter of the way to the moon.
According to NCC Sr. Vice Pres. Bill Roenigk, chicken wings will be consumed by three times the number of American on Super Bowl Sunday than a typical Sunday throughout the year. About half of those will be ordered from restaurants.
A chicken has two wings and chicken companies are not able to produce wings without the rest of the chicken. Therefore, the supply of wings is limited by the total number of chickens produced. When the demand for wings is stronger than the demand for other chicken parts, the price of wings will go up.
While I find these facts interesting, I’m sure none of them impress most chickens.

Life Café Bushwick, Artist of the Month
December 2011
John Sunderland
I have been fortunate in my life to live in some beautiful places, and then I came to Bushwick; which to my mind has to be one of the ugliest places on the planet, why else would the artists of the street try to paint it out?
And here this month we have someone who sees beauty where, in daylight at least I see only the beast.
I have been in two minds about Julia’s show. To be honest I think the exhibition on the right hand side of the wall, is truly worthy of comment, but not so the three large paintings on the left, which don’t appear to belong in the company of the rest.
Sunsets and reflected light from natural and unnatural sources transform Bushwick from dusk to dawn; then it becomes a place of mystery, Chirico shadows and possible threat. But high on the rooftops above the streets the greatest show on earth is still playing.
Rather than go for the obvious iconic view of Manhattan set against a flame red sky, Julia looks closer and sees beauty in the momentary passing of light above the shadow blocks of Bushwick, and reminds us that nature gives us a fresh start every morning and wipes the slate clean every night.
It’s not easy to capture fleeting moments, and equally it takes a special skill to capture fleeting moods as the artist does so well with her interiors, where she shows us glimpses of transitory loft-life. We may want to know more but we never shall.
The one piece that really does it for me in this show is, “On the Brink”. This is a painting you could live with, it would always draw you to it; there would always be questions, never a dull moment. It could be a canvas that in the end could drive you mad.
Julia has captured here two people standing together, their naked feet in the moving water. That’s all we know, apart from the delicious fact that this is a moment set to pass and unfold. Quite how- we shall have to wait and see. Time for another glass!
