The story you'll hear today is about some chicken/buffalo wing shortage.

And while I doubt you'll really have problems finding your wings, it's hard denying that there are only so many young chickens to breed, especially given the recent bankruptcy of a company that produced chicken wings.

Lost in this story is the plight of the celery, which of course is usually included with your wings.

You see, according to the California Farm Bureau Federation, there's likely more of a celery shortage due to a perfect storm.

Weather caused some shortages, California celery ripened too early and Florida's celery came too late.
