Interesting tactic..

Wouldn't stop me from entering armed.

Has been discussed numerous times before on the forum. That sign means nothing to a CHL holder in Texas.

"Feel GOOD" posting for the masses. Means nothing to us.

A search of the TABC database shows numerous violations for some BWW locations. Several are for failure to report sign = BLUE.

I know that it's not a legally enforceable sign, but they've made their feelings on the 2nd amendment pretty clear so I choose to honor their decision by going elsewhere.

Besides, I like Pluckers better anyway.

I never noticed that sign at the BWW near me. I checked for the nearest Pluckers, but they don't have one in Houston. Their menu looks really good.

The nearest BWW to me does have that sign.

We discovered Pluckers when we moved up to Temple (even though we have to drive to Killeen to get it ) My favorite sauces are Dr. Pepper and Goldrush. My wife is more of a traditionalist when it comes to wings and really likes their Buffalo Medium.

Darn, now I'm craving it but don't have time to run out there today! I guess I'll stick to my leftover taco soup.

People actually eat chicken wings and it stumps me - why?

Mostly fat, precious little meat and what there is somewhat difficult to access. I don't get the popularly of this tidbit of 'almost no chicken' that, when I'm eating real chicken meat like legs, thighs, - I simply pitch into the trash.

Frankly, when I buy whole chickens to barbecue, I'd be grateful if the wings were clipped off before I take them home.

What next are people gonna be bamboozled into thinking is a great food item?

Chicken beaks/feathers...?

I'm astonished that 'the part that went over the fence last' isn't also some wildly popular food item or will be some day.

No doubt in the future, some wily restauranteur/chef will start marketing this part of the chicken as a gourmet treat and crowds will flock to his eatery demanding this gustatorial delight. (not me)

I prefer boneless, so its not actually the wing.

The main appeal of chicken wings is that they are a good finger food. They can be a snack or part of a full meal. If you are a little bit hungry, eat a couple, if you are really hungry, eat a bunch of them. You can get them in all kinds of flavors and mix and match them.

They are perfect for restaurants to serve. Frozen, they have a long shelf life. You don't need a highly trained chef - they can be prepared by just about anyone.

Your complaint about the high fat content isn't much of a negative. Most people love restaurant food with its high fat and salt content.

It's funny that you should mention the back end of the chicken, but certain high-end restaurants serve them and they are very expensive. At least chickens have two wings.

Some Asians also eat chicken beaks and feet. The don't like to waste food, so they eat everything but the feathers.

"It's funny that you should mention the back end of the chicken, but certain high-end restaurants serve them and they are very expensive."

As well they should be...if people are goofy enough to order them...

Hey, if folks eat wings, why not feathers...they're about as nourishing. Getcha some good dipping sauce and man, them feathers would fly off the plate...

(and yes, I'm mostly just razzing wing eaters for the chicken eating dilettantes they are, cuz honestly, if you're gonna eat chicken, EAT chicken and quit fooling around)

Now, just out spite, I'm gonna eat a whole chicken in one sitting. I'll, ah, cook it first though...

You need to get out more

I remember an incident while working out of a tent camp on a gravel bar on the Chandalar River on the North Slope of Alaska in the late '70's.We were in the kitchen tent having breakfast one morning, and I was sitting next to a Texan, enjoying his eggs and bacon and sausage, etc., and across from one of the Native Alaskan workers on the project. The Native Alaskan got up, went to the fridge and got a whole Arctic Char (fish) that they had caught the day before. He came back to the table and carefully stripped some skin and carved a small bite size strip of the raw fish and began eating it. The Texan recoiled in horror and said, Man, how can you eat that thing like that? The native calmly replied, Well, that's an odd statement from a man who is sitting there eating something that came of a chicken's butt! Goes to show that what is gross to some, is a delicacy to others.

Same thing with "skirt steak", now known as Fajita meat. Once was the lowly dregs of the butchered bovine, now the heralded first choice in Mexican restaurants. My mother, rest her soul, would not eat fajitas, her father worked for a processing plant and they would dine on skirt steak almost exclusively, since they were giving that away.

What about polenta? That has got to be the most overpriced item on a menu.

I may "ruffle some southern feathers", but it worked with catfish. "They" are trying it with tilapia right now.
