Comments on: Take Somebody to Applebee’s, and Give Them Hot Wings http://unapologeticallymundane.com/2009/08/12/take-somebody-to-applebees-and-give-them-hot-wings/ An NYC Blog About a Girl Who's Entirely Unembarrassed to be Fascinated by the Boring Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:43:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: plumpdumpling http://unapologeticallymundane.com/2009/08/12/take-somebody-to-applebees-and-give-them-hot-wings/comment-page-1/#comment-77613 plumpdumpling Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:00:34 +0000 http://unapologeticallymundane.com/?p=451#comment-77613 This is a question I've never considered, but I think I have it worked out. Chicken fingers are long strips that you dip in sauce. Chicken nuggets are tiny mounds that you dip in sauce. Boneless wings are medium-size mounds that come pre-sauced. The chicken in the picture is questionable, though. It's pre-sauced, which is what led me to call it a boneless wing, but it's also obviously a strip. I think what we need to take into account is that it's from a bowling alley. That explains it all. Also: that ain't right. This is a question I’ve never considered, but I think I have it worked out.

Also, I only like actual chicken "wings" and want to gag when I am supposed to eat the drumstick. I can only handle certain types of meat on a bone. ZING!

My Midwestern tastebuds definitely prefer ranch. I'm not sure I ever even had an actual hunk of blue cheese before I moved to NYC and Kamran made me. NOT EMBARRASSED! You know me too well.

Next thing you'll tell me is that you order them with Ranch instead of Blue Cheese. Midwesterners. BONELESS.

And I am a glutton.

I'm never intimidated by the waitresses. I went to high school and joined a dance team in Texas, so I know for a fact I look every bit as good in orange Soffe shorts, "Suntan" Capezio tights and white high-tops as they do. Which is, of course, to say "not at all." I, too, love hot wings beyond all good sense and reason, but I’m a “Hooters Atomic” girl, myself.

I have not been there in awhile, but when I was in college we would go all the time. My roomie's boyfriend had a friend who was a server there and he would hook us up with bread and dipping oil all the time. Clearly, it pays to know people. Oooh Johnny Carino’s is the best.

I tried going to the one Applebee's in Brooklyn, but it was run-down and depressing (as most chain restaurants are here), so I just keep it as a treat for when I'm visiting Ohio. Do you go to Johnny Carino's, too? That's my favourite place to make my sister take me to when I visit her in Lexington. We’re so Midwestern!

I, too, am a hot wing fiend (but only boneless), and think there is no better way to spend your time than an Applebee's Happy Hour! What are the chances?
