We got six pounds of wings. Three pounds of each flavor: the buffalo and the thai. Once again, this became a well fought title bout, and once again the table became divided. It is safe to assume at this point that we machos tend to have a sweet side, as well as a loud and fired up side. Nevertheless, I would say that buffalo came out on top after this saucy battle. As messy as wings are, these tend to have a clean presentation. Just the right amount of flavor to singe the upper lip. More love for the shallow sauced wing. Although this is not an ‘official’ wing night, I still felt that it deserved a quick lil’ review, especially because we have been here for a ‘real’ wings night. It is known as an evening of wings with the first father figure cameo. Unfortunately, we neglected this fine selection of wings a well-earned response. And now you know.

So I know why this is a hit in University City. How could a sloppy drunk college student deny a greasy topped pizza pie? It’s impossible. They go hand-in-hand. I would have probably loved it if I had been across the street at Copa Banana, shooting tequila all night, before I stumbled in around 2 pm for a last call heart attack. Really the place is a pizza joint more than it is a pizza restaurant. The best thing this place has going for it is the long cooler of frosty, alcoholic beverages. Well, that and the package of premium cable channels they chose to purchase. We had the privilege of watching a scene in a movie that little children in a pizzeria should not be exposed to, especially if it is only 8 o’clock at night. Just put it this way, ‘The pizza didn’t give me a boner, but the movie did.’ Maybe they should have at least waited til 8:30 when the mood lighting set in. Then I would have stuck around for another 3-dollar quart of beer.

Holy Cow! This is a burger that we need in our lives. Remember the last burger we had in our lives? The infamous Standard Tap burger. I certainly remember the reigning power. Had me cryin’ my eyes out. Maybe the reason this burger strikes such a chord of familiarity is because the now owners of Johnny Brenda’s also own the wonderful Standard Tap. They both take pride in dressing your dish with the best ingredients the local farmers have to offer. I’ve seen and I’ve tasted my friend. Since we found a table near the open kitchen, we are able to kick back and slug an array of local beers, while we observe our burgers being cooked to perfection. And after we chow to cow, we move to the front of the bar for some sharkin’. There is always a good crowd around the pool table. Just sit back, grab another beer, and wait 20 minutes before you jump in the pool. We wouldn’t want you to get a cramp, now would we?
