VIP Party at Buffalo Wild Wings!

OK, so Buffalo Wild Wings in Marquette is open now. I've been there twice. You need to go.

Before the official opening two weeks ago, as all of you know, I was invited to go to the VIP party. It was quite the blast, actually, and I wore my own Chick 'N Wings shirt and had business cards to hand out.

As far as parties go, it wasn't what I expected. It was basically just sitting down and eating, but you didn't have to pay. The service took forever, but there were, my dad says, a couple hundred people there. It was packed.

A few really cool things happened though. The manager came over and introduced himself and I gave him one of my cards. He was very nice. And the other thing was that I won a ball off a crane machine game. Yeah, that's the life of an eight-year-old girl, exciting as it is.

I had the garlic Parmesan and the medium and my dad had the blazin' hot and the sweet barbecue. We discovered blazin' hot it too hot for dad. He wasn't happy after eating three of them. Not happy at all.

Mine were great, as always. Kim, my dad's fiancee, had shrimp. She said they were great and said she will order them again.

I am so glad there is a Buffalo Wild Wings here now. But, I have a job to do, and that's try other chicken wings, too. Guess I'll just have to keep rotating. :)

This is Shaylyn's dad. This post is actually late going up for two reasons: 1) The Chick was away to see some family in Detroit and went to a Tigers' game and watched them win (I don't get that luxury, often, when I go); and 2) I have been so incredibly busy that I just haven't had time. Honestly. So, with no further delay:

I have to admit that I had high hopes for Timber Charlies when we went there not too long ago. My dad called his friend from Newberry to see where the best chicken wings were. That guy, not being a wing fan, didn't know, but thought Charlies would have some.

So we went. It looked cool. The inside was pretty awesome. The chicken wings? Not so much. First, they weren't very crunchy. They were kind of soft and tasteless. And pretty small. Maybe there just wasn't enough meat for me to really be able to judge them.

I asked for the sauce on the side because I was afraid I would really not like it because of the way they described it on the menu. I tried it after two wings and found out it was just Louisiana Hot Sauce. So, I ate the rest smothered in that.

I was pretty disappointed, especially since everything else that had been ordered looked so good on the table. And the appetizers were really good!

As many of you probably know, I hate rating wings very low. I love them. But Timber Charlies in Newberry just doesn't do a very good job with them. I won't order them again from there, but my dad said the pasty was good. Maybe I'll eat that instead.

Final Rating: 4-out-of-10

VIP Party Today!

I am going to the Buffalo Wild Wings VIP party today. I am so excited. I came home from school today (only a week to go!) and found out my dad got me a Chick 'N Wings shirt and business cards. If we can figure out how to put the new logo that Graphics By Designers did up on here, we will be doing that, too!

I am going to have some Parmesan garlic and Blazin' sauce today. I hope they have some deep fried pickles, too.

I am going to take some pictures or have dad do it and will put some up on the blog tomorrow.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

(Dad's Note: Oh, and the photo is the Chick from this morning... she wasn't so thrilled before school about getting some chicken wings tonight. Yeah, I know, one day she'll repay me in spades.)
