I am surprised that Beef o Brady's has three locations in the Villages. I frequented them while living in PC. Only upside on the wings was that they had wing specials either Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
Last time I was at the BoB in Melbourne and the wings were so so.
Remember the good old days were the restaurant at ORD airport, AA terminals, sold the best wings. They were breaded and spicy.

Lots of things in The Villages come in threes because of the three squares. The one we patronize is in Leesburg, 10 miles south.
Im not a huge Beefs fan or anything. The steaks there are particularly bad. But the wings are okay. I am of the unbreaded wing school.

Last night, I had finally gathered to courage to try pork chops medium. It was great! I had it with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and can see enjoying pork more this year than I ever have in the past.
By the way, this dry January really isn't working out for me this year, thus far.

I can only imagine some of the places that were suggested. If I'm looking for true Buffalo-style wings, I'm heading to Buffalo Joe's. But as a Northwestern alum, there's a heavy dose of nostalgia in that decision. (Once upon a time YakZie's was also a fav, but I stopped going once the Diversey location closed.) Where do you recommend?

Seriously, glad you enjoyed it. I recall it opening a whole new world of lean pork possibility to me.

That actually sounds really good! Spinach is the *only* green veggie I can eat, and generally with lots of cream. My love for spinach probably stems from those old Popeye cartoons?
LOL...Especially when it comes to all thing culinary, I'm always open to new ideas! This way of having pork is game changer for me where it eliminates what was my prior issue, namely that I find well done meats too dry. Nothing wrong with well done for those who prefer it, but it's just not for me.

Squeezed right out of the can.
I don't know if this makes me too young or too old. I remember watching the cartoon, but I don't think I've ever seen spinach in a can. Always fresh or frozen - and frozen in those little cardboard boxes.
Back on the thread topic, I'm almost afraid to write this so I don't jinx it. My wife agreed to let me make my homemade split pea soup for dinner tonight. She claims she doesn't like it, so this is a big deal. Maybe it's just that her taste is only about 85% back after COVID
.
Anyway, my company gives MLK day off, and her company doesn't. So I will happily start putting my soup together around 2:30 today while she's working. Can't wait to smell those ham hocks simmering.

I am so glad to spread the word to rid the world of dried out & overcooked pork. Go for it...pork tenderloin & pork chops await!! The exception would be tougher cuts such as pork butt which needs low and slow and long time cooking.

One of our favs: roast salmon over lentils with fennel, cucumber and herby yogurt sauce. I did the salmon in the air fryer and was impressed! (Plus Daisy dog will enjoy her crispy salmon skin.)
