Wings Anybody?

The Hawk and Dove is a bar. It looks like a bar. It sounds like a bar. It smells like a bar. But, on Mondays between 4pm and 8pm, this bar serves 12 barbecue wings for a dollar when you buy a drink. This includes beer, soda or juice. This does not include water. I asked. The waitress declined. So essentially I went in thinking I was going to get wings for a dollar and somehow got charged $5.25 for orange juice and 12 mini drumsticks. How does that happen?

I think that was actually my first encounter attempting to eat wings. "Attempting" is the most important word in that phrase. Their isn't much meat on there to begin with and about 25% of it you can't get off the bone without filling your nasal cavity with barbecue sauce. Lovely.

So...let's just say I paid $1 for the wings and $4.25 for the experience of going to a bar in DC with 25 other Hinckley interns. I'm happy with that.

  1. This was your first encounter eating wings? Crazy... We do have BBQ Wings in Utah. I can show you a couple good places when you get back in August...What say you?

  2. It's true that it has been years since I had BBQ wings. They're not really a good date food...and that's pretty much the only time I eat out. But sure, I'm down with an August adventure.
