‘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’).

Rethinking Fast Food at Rally’s

Things between buns should always have double-meat.

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.

Beer Me Some Breckenridge Agave Wheat

The taste of skiing?

Colorado is definitely a beer state, and not just because Coors comes from the Rocky Mountain State.  No, it is also home to New Belgium (of Fat Tire fame) and seemingly countless other micro and craft breweries.  While in Breckenridge for a ski weekend, I decided I had to at least try one of these, and because it turned out to be the only one available at dinner, my choice happened to come from the creatively named Breckenridge Brewery.  The brewery, by the way, is actually no longer in Breckenridge, having expanded and moved to Denver in 1992.
