Korea-based restaurant chain BB.Q Chicken randomly added arm wrestling to its Rockville menu this month. A battle of the biceps now goes down every Wednesday at the brightly lit wing stop (9712 Traville Gateway Drive, Rockville, Maryland). BB.Q Chicken The first event was stacked with competition from the U.S. Air Force and Marine Corps and a LA Fitness manager. There wasn’t a dry seat in the house on December 11, with 25 participants showing up for the first fist-grabbing contest. After a successful turnout, “Rockville Arm-Wrestling Night” is now a recurring thing at the 5-year-old store (6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.). Out of BB.Q Chicken’s 250 fast-casual locations nationwide, which includes a dozen around the DMV, a rep says this is the first to introduce arm wrestling. A Rockville server happens to be a former national team arm-wrestler and pitched the idea to powers above, which signed off upon finding a charity component. BB.Q Chicken Photos of contenders go up on BB.Q’s wall of legends. Anyone can enter by paying a $10 cash-only fee, and all proceeds go to Maryland nonprofit Stepping Stones Shelter to help homeless families. Weekly winners get free fried chicken, which is actually pretty good here. Recipes straight from Seoul include a “Gangnam-style” preparation (peppers and leeks sauteed in a black pepper sauce), sweet cheese-covered “Cheesling,” and spicy galbi. — Tierney Plumb Noche Buena celebrations come early at Anju Traditionally celebrated on Christmas Eve in Latin American cultures, Noche Buena is a merry late-night feast that usually takes places after midnight mass.
