BUFFALO WILD WINGS

Last night Andrew and I had Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. Andrew wanted me to experience the 'wings experience'. Due to the fact we still don't have a house to live in and are still living in a hotel we are obliged to eat out every night. It's hard to stay healthy in America when you can't cook for yourself but most nights we have been fairly good. However with wings we knew we weren't being good! 

Buffalo Wild Wings is the sports fan's favourite place. The entire place is covered in TVs which show a variety of different sports all at once. These pictures show you the TVs we could see easily form our booth. 



For people who are non-sports fans or for Andrew who gets lost in a TV when it's on it was rather distracting. Putting that aside the menu had a pretty extensive range of flavourings for your wings and even included boneless wings which made me happy. (I don't particularly enjoy eating meat off the bone) They even had different types of food such as burgers or sandwiches. None were any healthier than the wings though. 

                            

After much deliberation Andrew and I ordered two sodas (cokes in UK English) and then he had traditional wings with an assortment of hotter flavourings and I had boneless wings with the obviously milder/non-spicy flavours. Here is our food, doesn't it look healthy!

                             


Please note the healthy carrot and celery sticks accompanying mine. I may have enjoyed these the most out of the whole meal! 

At this point I must confess that I never finished all my wings as I was way too full. The idea of leaving food still grates on me as it goes against everything I was taught growing up. Still at least I remember not to have pudding if I can't finish! Andrew on the other hand finished his wings. He only had 15 this time. This was apparently a mere snack as his current wings challenge total is 37!! The boy is a lunatic! 

                           

The whole experience was certainly interesting and I can see why Andrew spent so much time there with the boys whilst in Florida. Not sure it'll become one of our frequent haunts though. We may take our guests there though to see if anyone is able to defeat Andrew. Anyone reckon they can?

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

So this may have surprised you but last night I went out to watch football. Well it was american football and I just wanted to give it a chance as it was monday night game night. It had nothing to do with the food at all!


We went to Harry T's in Destin which had more TVs than you can shake a stick at. I mean they were everywhere, I felt like I had just walked into currys TV section! But hey, if you wana see the game, you don't want anyone in you way so i guess it means they can guarantee a good view so I'll let it let that slide.

Ok I lied, the big persuader was one lil word; WINGS! To be honest that was the real reason, you can't say no to 10 wings for $2.49, thats £1.54!  (Unless your vegetarian etc.) and the guy in the kitchen was either generous or couldn't count, coz he was passing out baskets of 11 and more. I could only manage 30 wings in the end as they weren't small. I'm happy with that score....for now.

So what I got from american football is that its a really simple game made hard by loads of statistics, and quite short but made really long by all the breaks for adverts. Other than that quite fun to watch. I almost got out of my seat for one moment but the blue cheese dip that came with the wings told me to stay down. Oh and I was watching the Redskins vs San Francisco who went on to win.

Here are a few snaps of the night!

Advert break number 34. This is only the first quarter too!
