On Friday, Cornel, Rich and I went to Fort Desoto park, where Rich rode a bicycle around the island and I sat soaking up the sun while Cornel fished off the pier. It was peaceful because I actually had a nice conversation with my emotional roller coaster teenage son. Of course, the little bottles of vodka and tequila that Rich stowed in his backpack helped also. Was that fate that landed the backpack in my lap or just my manipulation? I'm thinking the latter.
After the park, we went to the Brass Monkey, a cool bar & grill overlooking the ocean. We sat outside and watched people. I highly recommend this restaurant, not only for the view, but the Monkey Balls are delicious! They are basically yummy crab cakes with some great outside seasoning and a spicy dipping sauce. But, I'm here to rate the wings:
We ordered the wings "hot" in terms of seasoning, with celery and blue cheese on the side.
Overall Rating:
Cornel 4 WET NAPS
Gail 3 WET NAPS
Rich 4 WET NAPS
Cornel thought that the sauce only rated a 3, while I normally don't like "hot", I didn't think it was too hot. The meat quality was average, as was the batter - not too much. The celery & blue cheese was really good, because I absolutely love homemade blue cheese dressing, which is what this was. It was primarily the view and people watching that made the experience so great. I highly recommend, but get the monkey balls instead of wings if you're going for a good appetizer.
