Smoked Chicken Wings
Those spicy pickles deserve equal attention. So good, we polished them off too quickly and instantly craved more.
The Georgia Sampler
Ribs, pulled pork…
…brisket and pulled chicken, it was all tender, smoky meat goodness.
Wrapped in aluminum foil, some of the charm (and moisture) gets lost enroute.
Also, thoughtless packaging and an overstuffed to-go bag crushed our Brunswick stew. We expected more from a barbecue joint that relies on to-go business. This could’ve been a disaster.
Close to half of the liquid from the Brunswick stew was found on the bottom of the to-go bag. The plastic bag caught most of the spill, thank goodness.

The Bronx Bomber
Fresh Mozzarella, Prosciutto, Sopressata, Salami, Roasted Red Peppers
& A Drizzle of Vinaigrette
It was a delicious monstrosity of a sandwich on a super soft, fluffy hoagie roll.
The Wacky Salad
This salad was a version of their cranberry salad with dried cranberries, broccoli, walnuts, toasted ramen noodle bits, romaine with a vinaigrette on the side. Yes, it was a little bit odd. But, it was also surprisingly good. All the flavors worked well together. The sweetness of the dried cranberry, the toasty ramen, the rich walnuts and a touch of bitterness from the broccoli, it was a unique harmony of flavors that mingle well with each other.
Bleu House Tuna Melt Special
This wasn’t a standard tuna melt. The bread wasn’t buttered or grilled. But, the generous allotment of cheese was nice and melty. We loved it.
Marinated Vegetables On The Side
Next time, we’ll be getting the marinated olives.
Even when the sky’s gloomy and grey outside, it’s bright and friendly on the inside. So, there must be a next time.
Just look for the little blue house.

Pork Schnitzel & Fried Egg
Both the egg and the schnitzel were nicely cooked. But, the schnitzel was more than a little bit bland.
Poutine
(Duck Fat Fries, Local Cheese Curds, & Chicken Gravy)
Literally swimming in chicken gravy, this might’ve been acceptable. But, that chicken gravy was excruciatingly bland.
Batdorf & Bronson Coffee
The coffee was the highlight of our meal… by far.

Long Island Iced Tea In a Fishbowl
How do you set the mood for a movie set in the 80’s?
Step #1: Order Over-sized Long Island Iced Tea
Coconut Chicken Tenders
Step #2: Order Coconut Chicken Tenders And Chicken Pesto Pizza
Can you believe this is still on a menu anywhere??
This was perfect 80’s flashback food for watching The Wolf of Wall Street. We set the mood beautifully. But, as expected, it was perfectly horrible to consume. Fun? Yes. But, would we order it again? Not here, that’s for sure.
Buffalo Trace Manhattan? We hope that’s better.
Light Button For Service At Any Time During The Movie
What was the best part of the meal? Kahlua Mudslides!
What about The Wolf of Wall Street? Genius, pure genius.

Matzo Brei (Or, Matzah Brei)
Sweet or savory, this is jewish comfort food at its best. This day, we sprinkled just the tiniest bit of cinnamon sugar on top. But, we love it every way. Basically, matzo brie is the Jewish version of the Tex Mex style of migas. Or, you could say it’s a bit like an eggy French toast scramble. There are so many ways this dish could be served. Top it with sour cream and apple sauce, or jelly, or preserves, or fruit compote, or maple syrup for a sweet version. For the savory version, you might use a bit of extra butter, sour cream, salt and pepper. It’s all good.

Enchiladas De Mole
Roasty, toasty chiles and bittersweet chocolate combine to make a powerfully rich and delicious sauce. Spicy, complex, smooth and so beautifully well-rounded, we’ll be dreaming about this for awhile.
Chilaquiles Rojos With Chicken
It’s tasty comfort.
Negroni Blanco
Mezcal, Breckenridge Bitters, M&R Bianco, & Lemon Oil

Seared Scallops With Pumpkin Seed Pesto And Roasted Brussels Sprouts
The scallops were gorgeously seared and ever so tender. The hint of the sea sweetness made for a delicious balance with the nutty, buttery pesto and deep-roasted goodness of these brussels sprouts.

One Complaint For Georgia
Don’t get between us and Mr Sunshine, Georgia!
No cocktails until 12:30 PM! Seriously? 12:30PM?!?! Brunch is half over by that time! What’s up with that, Doc? We wanted to cry. (Clearly, we’re late sleepers. It’s taken years for us to notice this simple fact… or law, whatever.)
