Problem: Needing some food to sop up the bacchanalia, I immediately thought of meat + rice comfort. The BF and I came here for the $13.99 AYCE. This is different from some of the daytime known AYCE KBBQ since it's all table service and not a buffet line. For banchan we had- fish cakes, korean pancake, bean sprouts, napa kimchee, cucumber kimchee, chap chae. They serve you a bowl of rice and a large bowl of salad. I wasn't feeling the chap chae seasoning, but the rest of the banchan was good. I liked the lightly sweet and tangy dressing on the salad which went well with all the meats. For meat choices you can get- brisket, thin sliced ribeye, pork belly, marinated pork belly, squid, tripe, tongue, chicken thigh. Also ayce bean paste soup. You can upgrade your ayce to include short rib and steamed egg for $16.99. We got the ribeye, marinated pork belly, and tongue for our meats. Ribeye had a nice marinade to it which a lot of places lack flavor. Pork belly was with a spicy marinate with onions and pretty good once you let the fat get crispy since they slice it very thin. Tongue is always my favorite- cooks fast and great with salad. Since they plate the meat for you, they sometimes serve a bit more than I want of one of the meats so if you want to taste a lot, ask maybe for small serving. I was worried about the service after reading reviews, but the service was good. Our water was refilled and refills on food came out quickly. It wasn't very busy, but the guy watching our tables cared to check on people which makes a big difference. Good late night eats and good value. Definitely will be back.

Problem: While traveling on business to the area, my boss and I went to Seven Saints on the recommendation of some of the local employees. It was billed as a good place to get decent food and a good beer. Being a fan of any and all microbrews I can get my hands on back home on the east coast I was hopeful that they would have at least some local flavor from which I could sample and some food that was palatable after a long day on a plane and in airports. We got there around 9pm and the place was very quiet (not a bad thing in my mind). We grabbed a seat at the bar and I was immediately pleased to see Southern Tier on tap. As a large fan of this line of beer back east but only seeing it in bottle my hope grew. Along with that some other wonderful names graced the bar taps; Dead guy (again only bottle option for me most times), Fat Tire (a beer that was raved about by my friends after a trip west but I am unable to acquire in my local establishments), and the usual Guiness etc. Add to my excitement was the very well stocked liquor rail with such rarities as Hanger One Vodka (one of the best flavored vodka line) and Lafroaig 30yr (one of my all time favorite scotch brands). The bartender was friendly and polite and took our initial beer order. After scanning the menu i decided on what was recommended to me, the sliders. Since I could not decide and was famished anyways i ordered 6 of the approximately 12 different varieties they offered. While waiting for our food I struck up a conversation with our bartender asking for suggestions for good local beers. He recommended a wonderful beer made by a small time brewery run by two brothers (the name eludes me at this point) and his recommendation was spot on. By this time our food arrived and i dug into the various sliders. They were a bit larger then I anticipated but not overly so. Most came as described and tasted good. No disappointment on the food front. After downing my meal and finishing my second beer I asked for one more suggestion. At this point the GM of the establishment joined us in the discussion over local breweries and suggested we try Foundry. I choose a bourbon barrel aged brew called Backwoods Bastard. Alliteration aside it was a wonderful way to end the meal. We continued to talk and I was very impressed at the effort both the bartender and the GM himself put in for two random customers on a Monday night when they could have very easily just gone about closing up shop and leaving us to our devices. I have no bad things to say about this place and being a former server/bartender/cook I am not shy about voicing my expectations concerning a locale. I would definitely recommend to anyone either passing through the area or local to the area to stop by sometime and try for yourself. If the beer list and quality food is not enough of a draw they do offer specials on liquors and beer knocking the price down significantly for that day. To fully appreciate this locale I highly recommend going on an off day as I am unsure how a busy saturday night would translate into appreciation for a simple yet enjoyable experience.

Problem: Heard about Wing Stop from my sister due to the special on Monday and Tuesday. If you are looking for take-out, be sure to call in 15-20 minutes in advance or you may have to wait. Though the advertisement said it was 50 cent boneless, the store has upped the price to 60 cents per wing for some time which is still cheaper than normal price. Tried the bone-in classic and I personally found them better than the boneless wings at Wing Stop due to the salty-ness. When the wings were boneless, the seasoning was a little too salty for me compared to the bone-in classic. Tried the atomic, and it isn't as spicy as I thought. Both the atomic (spiciest at Wing Stop) and Cajun (their main flavor) were both spicy to the tongue, however, tolerable if you are into spicy foods. Do not try if you are not into spicy food. However, if you are, these are definitely ones to try. Both to me seemed to taste fairly similar except for that Atomic had cracked pepper in the spicy rub. If you are not into spicy, tried some of the classic bone-in wing with Lemon Pepper, and those were addicting. It is something to try, recommend it. Wing size compared to other places I've been to, are bigger, which is good if you like it with a little more meat. Overall, good place, near where I live, and though they do get busy on special days, so be sure to call in beforehand!
