Once every ten years or so the world gets to witness a truly great movie. The 1970's gave us Rocky, the 80's Back to the Future, the 90's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. In 2002 a film crew led by Jesse Hutchinson followed a man on his quest to transform an average electrician, with a false front tooth as a secret weapon, in to a local legend, all by stuffing his face with chicken wings. Some cult classics never made it big at the box office: The Big Lebowski, Office Space, etc. Perhaps that will be the case with the highly indie flick brought to you today by the power of YouTube. Ladies and gentleman, a tale that could only take place in Philadelphia: the Fino Cachola story.

I think Chili Dawg said it best when talking about the wingettes, "they suck, they're ugly, and they can't count. But overall, we had a good time."
Update: After writing this post we were sad to learn that Fino passed away in 2004. [CityPaper]
