It’s Cleats….uh, wait… It’s Jerseys???
Mar 23rd
Mrs. Zombie and I decided several weeks ago that Tuesday night was our “goin’ out” night. Each Tuesday night we come home from work, put on some comfy clothes and head out for dinner together, just the two of us. Of course, when we eat at home it’s just the two of us with the addition of my PIGI tasting partner Dakota but sometimes it’s nice to actually go out where other people can see us….you know, it our gift to them. Well, around these here parts…Monday or Tuesday night pretty much means wing night. Yep, just about every place More >
Rich that probably isn’t a good idea #7: …and this little piggy went in a jar.
Mar 21st
Thankfully my trip through the gifts bestowed upon me by Hot Dog is coming to a close. Up on the block today we have a jar full of trotters. I know you’ve wondered about these things for years as you’ve scanned the grocery isle shelf and have seen them perched between the dried beef and the Vienna sausages. These things really are the most prime example of making due with nothing.
I think one of my larger concerns here is…how many jars of these things do they really even sell? Do people crave these things. With all the food that we More >
The Brasa Grill: Worship at the altar of meat!!!
Mar 21st
Ok, so it’s not a wing place. I realize that but give me a few minutes and hear me out. Imagine a place where all you had to do was turn a little card over on your table and never ending magical mystery meat tour would make its way across your plate. Ok, you’ve got that image in your head, right? Stay with me here. Not only does the carnival parade of meats never end, but you’ve also got tasty side dishes and a baffling array of pickled, cured, seasoned and generally kick ass buffet items that goes with it.

The Winking Lizard – Strangely enough, it’s not what I first thought.
Mar 18th
One of the first wing joints that I ever went to when I first started my business visits to the sunny lap of luxury that is Canton, Ohio was “ The Winking Lizard”. Yeah, the first time someone asked me if I wanted to go to “The Winking Lizard” I informed him that while I respected and supported his alternative lifestyle it wasn’t something that I was interested in personally. Of course I was still a bit hessitant when he informed me that it was a sports bar…. But again I made my statement about his alternative life style. At More >
Quaker Steak and Lube: It was bound to happen…
Mar 9th
When I first started traveling to this area people knew my love of wings and all I kept hearing was, “have you gone to Quaker Steak and Lube?”…. “You’ve gotta try Quaker Steak and Lube?”. Yes, I was being bashed by the hype. You used to have to travel the Sharon, PA in order to their wings but over the past few years they have been branching out. Now “The Lube” as we refer to it, it as much about the atmosphere as it is about the food. Yes, they have won a ton of awards for their wings but More >
