Lovin' That BBQ!



Hopefully everyone has had a chance to eat at Lucilles Smokehouse Bar-B-Que, if not, your definitely missing out! We have all had the opportunity to dine at this great southern smokehouse several times throughout the past couple years. Recently, Rob went with his entire family to celebrate his mom's birthday and the only thing he had to say was, "Lucille's never lets me down". In our opinion, it is one of the best barbecue restaurant chains for family and friends to visit and enjoy some good ole southern hospitality.

If you have never been there, make sure you arrive a little bit earlier than planned because there is always a guaranteed wait. It is a very popular place and if you can be patient, we promise you wont be disappointed. The pricing of the meals may be a little on the steep side; however, the amount of food given to you is worth every penny!

Those Finger Licking Wings

You often see the commercials on television and hear the great deals through word of mouth.  I am talking about Buffalo Wild Wings, with a vast array of choices and happy hour specials it becomes one of the ideal places to stop and resolve your appetite.

Wing Tuesdays offers 55 cent wings
Boneless Thursdays 65 cents for boneless wings
Usually half off wings during happy hour

They offer 16 sauces and 4 seasons with the ability to combine up to 4 of them per order.  Some pictured below.  Personal favorites include the Chipotle dry rub and Asian Zing sauce.

The boneless wings start at $7.59 for 8 and go all the way up to $35.99 for 50.  The traditional wings start at $5.49 for 6 and up to $34.99 for 50.  So now that you know that the prices and some of the combinations lets talk about the food.

Honestly the food there is not always the best, it some times arrives at your table 40 minutes after you ordered it.  Often you will see the waiters or waitresses bring the wrong food to the wrong table and you yourself will often get something that you did not order.  All of these things I have experienced on more than one occasion, but what keeps me going back?

When you do finally get your order within a decent amount of time, hot and fresh its usually all you want out of a wing.  But it is not always the food that keeps me going back, its the people there that you will find make the experience better.  You will often be able to find your favorite sports team on one of the many large projection screens and other passionate fans cheering for them or routing against them.  Beer, wings, good people, decent service.  Is there anything else you really need?

Never Ending Food... for $8.95

I'm sure all of you have been to, if not, heard of the delicious restaurant called Olive Garden.
Olive Garden is an elegant restaurant that serves gourmet Italian food. Today, we want to tell you about the Never Ending Pasta Bowl for only $8.95.

http://www.neverendingpastabowl.com/

There are endless possibilities. You have a choice of seven different types of pastas, and 6 different choices of sauces.

The 7 pastas are:

• Spaghetti (long, thin, cylindrical pasta)
• Linguine (long, a bit thicker than Spaghetti pasta)
• Angel Hair (long, even thinner than Spaghetti)
• Whole Wheat Linguine (a healthier choice of linguine)
• Fettuccine (a long, thick, flat pasta)
• Orecchiette  (small pasta shaped almost into a bowl)
• Penne (short tube like pasta)

The 6 Sauces are:

• Pizzaiola Sauce (Red Sauce, similar to a pizza sauce)
• Alfredo (classic thick white cream sauce)
• Marinara (classic red sauce)
• Roasted Mushroom Parmesan (white creamy sauce cooked with mushrooms)
• Meat Sauce (marinara sauce with meat)
• Five Cheese Marinara  (marinara sauce smothered with 5 different cheese)

Additional Unlimited Toppings for only $2.95 extra

• Italian Sausage
• Meatballs
• Roasted Chicken

Not only do you have endless possibilities with different pastas, sauces, and toppings, you can also mix sauces together. 

We personally enjoy mixing the Marinara sauce with the Alfredo sauce. By mixing the two, you get a creamy pinkish sauce that has the cream of the white sauce with the kick of the red sauce. Some restaurants call this sauce Alamara sauce. 

If your taste buds are not yet satisfied. or you think this might not be enough food, along with the endless pasta, you get unlimited soup, salad, and bread sticks. 

The bread sticks are soft bread with butter lightly spread on top, with fresh herds.

The salad is fresh lettuce tossed in Italian dressing with, olives, red onions, peppers, tomatoes, croutons, and Parmesan cheese. 

There are  4 different types of soups to choose from:

• Chicken &Gnocchi (chicken and dumpling soup in a white cream soup base)
• Pasta E Fagioli (beans, tomatoes, and meat in a pasta sauce soup)
• Minestrone (vegetables, tomatoes, as a vegetarian style soup)
• Zuppa Toscana (spicy sausage with potatoes in a cream soup base)

As you can see, there are actually ENDLESS possibilities that you can try. There are so many possibilities, you might have to come back several times just to try.

But, to make things easier, here are the 5 most popular endless Pasta bowl choices:

1. Fettuccine Alfredo
2. Orecchiette with the Roasted Mushroom Parmesan Sauce
3. Whole Wheat Linguine with the Roasted Mushroom Parmesan Sauce
4. Angel Hair Pasta with the Roasted Mushroom Parmesan Sauce
5. Spaghetti with the Pizzaiola Sauce

Although the five most popular are very good choice, we still recommend trying the Alamara sauce with any choice of pasta. The only reason it is not one of the most popular is because not many people know about it. 

We hope this was helpful, and now you have many different options for just $8.95
