‘Buffalo Chicken’


Going to Buffalo with Godfather’s Pizza

So swirly!

Many months ago, someone was telling me about a delicious pizza chain from the Midwest called Godfather’s.  Being from the Midwest, I was a bit surprised until he told me it was from that other Midwest.  You know, like Kansas and stuff.  Then Godfather’s started getting a lot more attention because of some dude named Herman Cain that wants to be President.  So when I ordered some pizza delivery from a place called Godfather’s that recently appeared in Palms, I was thinking this was one and the same as the fabled Godfather’s I had heard so much about.  I was wrong, for the first time.

Feeling Perturbed at Bad Donkey

Stop being such a putrid chicken.

For a little lunch pickup in Carefree, Arizona, just north of Scottsdale, I was told we would be ordering from a local sandwich shop called Bad Donkey (not to be confused with Bikkuri Donkey).  Although actual donkey was no where to be found on the menu, it seemed they had come up with some very creative names to make up for the lack of donkey.  Their veggie sub was called Grass on a Roll and their Reuben was creatively called Reuben Worth Choosen (yes, choosen and not choosin’).

Things between buns should always have double-meat.

Some days, typical fast food restaurants just aren’t enough.  Enter: Rally’s.  It’s like fast food, but with a few little twists.  In fact, it isn’t always called Rally’s.  Supposedly it is called Checker’s in some strange parts of the country.

What really drew me to Rally’s in Palms was the sign that said “2 for $4.  Double Bacon Cheddar Burgers and Double Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches.”  After seeing these options, I didn’t even need to look at the menu except to decide which fries I wanted.  One thing that sets Rally’s apart from other fast food places is that they have two drive-thru windows, ensuring speedy ordering.  In-N-Out could certainly learn a lot from this.  They also have a window that you can just walk up to for ordering, if you want to sit in the nice outdoor dining area.

UNVEGAN FANS: HELP STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT DELICIOUS FOOD!

Future Foodies!

HYPE is a non-profit organization that works directly with low-income middle schoolers and their teachers to provide students with the guidance and resources needed to qualify for admission and succeed at top private schools in the Los Angeles area. We provide our students with engaging and unfamiliar experiences to broaden their horizons. A large part of building this cultural capital is by having our students try a wide variety of new foods. This pushes our students outside of their comfort zones and encourages them to take risks in a fun (and tasty!) way. Last summer, our students tried Ethiopian food, sushi, Korean BBQ, deli, and schwarma, just to provide some examples.

We want your help, Unvegan fans, to increase our students’ knowledge about the world around them by enhancing their culinary experiences. We greatly appreciate your support to provide a meal to our group of 15. With your donation, you will be opening delicious doors for an amazing group of students!
