GLASSBORO – Anthony Walker and Nefertiti Winters, of Wings of Angels Chicken, were named the inaugural winner of the Wing Heavyweight Champion Cook-Off by former Food Network star Chef Tim Witcher on Thursday.
Witcher, the 2016 winner of The Food Network’s “Chopped,” is the co-owner of The Wing Kitchen located in Glassboro and Turnersville. He came up with the idea of the cook-off to give budding and seasoned chefs a chance to display their newest creations outside of their own kitchens. All social distancing and face-mask rules were followed during the competition.
