Yeah, beer and cupcakes don't go together so well.

Instead of frosting, use meat gravy.

It's going to be a Buffalo Wild Wings. Here's the website, looks like full bar and full restaurant!

What's a Tillie's? When I googled it there is a Tillie's Coffee Tea Etc cafe in Lodi, but there are also Tilly's (with a "y") surf and skate shops.

(also sorry for hijacking this thread about Wings

I think it's the clothing store...

Yep, sports bar & grill type place, but unlike Hooters that has 5 varieties of lousy tasting chicken wings (none of which are that hot), they have 12 different very tasty sauces from mild to truly hot. My favorite is the Mango Habanero which is only 10, I haven't tried the 2 hotter ones.

I think if I had a restaurant like this, I would call it Winged Victory

That was something that somewhat baffled my dad. During the days of slavery, the slaves were given the cuts of meat the rich folks didn't want, including ribs and chicken wings. When he was growing up in the 20's and 30's these items were cheap, even free at some shops.

He was amazed to see the day when there were restaurants that specialized in the cuts of meat that once were thrown away.

Buffalo Wild Wings (often referred to as "B-Dub's") is a chain like Hooter's but much more focus on "sports" than girls. Always a good spot for teams after games, etc. It all depends on staff, but the ones I have been to have been much better at service then the current alternatives (Folsom Sports Garage = service? what service? and BJ's part of 2 at 2:30 in the afternoon.....45 min. wait)

Despite Labor Day holiday the construction crew(s) were busy working on the renovation on the place.

You sure haven't been to Hooter's recently! As a Hooter's Girl (over two years now) I can tell you that we have 12 different sauces, two of which when the bowls that toss the wings are cleaned make my eyes water just to walk by! How long ago was it that you were at a location with only 5 sauces?? Just curious...

There's one at Zinfandel @ HWY 50. Haven't been there though. I have nothing against the idea of Hooters, but I have never heard that their food is good. (I have heard their service is usually pretty good though, but you gotta take that with a grain of salt, especially at a Hooters)

It's been a year or so, but I just checked the online menu and it seems you have added some non-hot sauces like teriyaki, parmesan garlic etc, but I can tell you the old standbys of 911 and 3 mile island are a joke when it comes to HOT. And they also don't taste that good to me.

Now, you must realize I don't care for the traditional Buffalo wing recipe either. I don't like vinegary tasting hot sauce on my wings and the traditional buffalo wing recipe is just that, it's Frank's hot sauce (which is very akin to Tabasco which is vinegar and tabasco peppers) mixed with melted butter. You vary the heat by the ratio of Frank's to butter. but IMO, I don't like it however it's done. Some people do, but it isn't my cup of tea.

If you think 911 or 3 mile island is HOT, then you don't need to trying any thing that is truly HOT. When it comes to tasty hot sauces BW3 has Hooter's beat hands down.

Bless you for your work, where can I find a Hooters around here? I must try those wings

I loves me some Hooters! I think it is a campy fun place to go. I get there once a year or so.

I've been to that one once. No better or worse than any other. One of my daughters wants me to take her there for their all you can eat wings night, which I believe is on Wednesdays.

I don't usually like the sauces too vinegary either, and overly hot isn't necessary. I have probably 40 different hot sauces in my cupboard and fridge. Some which were given to me are so ridiculously hot you can't enjoy them, so what's the point?

I have a Tepin pepper bush. Tepins are said to be the hottest in the world, but several make that claim, including Habanero and the Naga Jolokia. I don't use the peppers very often. They are tiny, so throwing one in a pot of beans is plenty.

I mostly use them for letting visitors taste them for a nice surprise. I've given them to my daughters' boyfriends a number of times. That's fun to watch.

If any of you want a few. I'm glad to share.

Part of it is if you can get past the hot and taste the flavors.

Habanero's have a fruity, almost apricot like taste, if you can handle the heat.
That's why they go so good mixed with other sweet flavors like the Habanero-Mango sauce from BW3's.

I make a pretty good fruity salsa with Habanero's, mandarin oranges, apricots, pineapple and red onions. The left over juices also make a great mixer with rum.
