Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap hosts its inaugural Battle of the Bhut: a contest to see who can eat the most hot wings from Jake’s. The twist: The wings are made with Bhut Jolokia pepper, considered, purportedly, the hottest in the world. Bill Kurtis will emcee the contest, and the winner takes home tix to a Bulls or Blackhawks game, plus a year’s supply of wings. The contest begins promptly at 6pm. 41 E Superior St (312-266-0400). No entry fee, no cover.
