Nearly 20 food trucks are about to battle for your pick of best wings on the Space Coast.

1.     The Space Coast Wing Battle is just days away, and we’re connecting with the 2021 “battle” Winner, Joseph Osgood. He owns the Indian River Smokehouse food truck.

2.     Joseph says his winning dry rub has a reputation in Brevard County and that fans “hunt us down and find us.” Plus, his wings go through a 5-day brining process before they’re made-to-order in the fryer.

3.     He loves watching people taste his food for the first time, saying the Space Coast Wing Battle is the perfect place for sampling. “They just take one bite and they shake their head and they’re just like, ‘Oh my God,’” he said. Guests gets a wooden token and after they’ve sampled all of the offerings, they place it in the bucket representing their top selection.

4.     Your admission ticket includes unlimited wing samplings and unlimited domestic beer and hard seltzers for the entirety of the event. General admission is $50. (VIP ticketholders - $70 - also get unlimited local craft draft beer and liquor/cocktails).

5.     The Battle is Saturday, August 19 from 6 – 10 p.m. at Wickham Park, Melbourne.
