Springfield's best wings

So it's that time of year again...

A cold front is moving through the Ozarks (well, at least for a couple of days) and with it is the yen for all things autumnal. Fall is approaching, as is the start of the NFL's 90th season. And when we think football, we think of delicious, fatty, greasy food. Nothing screams "pigskin" more than, well, chicken skin—a good order of hot wings. Orange-stained fingers and throwing chewed bones at the TV because your team fumbled? Yes, this is what we look forward to this time of year.

Hot, cold, spicy or sweet, it doesn't matter as long as it fills your belly while you cheer on the home team. I hit up a number of Springfield spots armed with a bottle of Pepto-Bismol and some friends who enjoy eating free food. With my camera in my one non-sauced hand, I embarked on a journey to find Springfield's Best Wing.  --Laura Weis, Special to Metromix
