Carb-ing Up

So, when we decided to start blogging about happy hours, we didn’t realize they come in all shapes and sizes… and we’s don’t discriminate. We went big and we aren’t talking Notorious, we are talking 2 App Happ at F.W. Sullivans.  

 After pouring over the menu for 2 days we decided to go for it. Even though at first we thought 2 appetizers/dips for $10 seems a little steep, we soon found out our choice paid off. (And we don’t normally make good choices)

 OK the deal is, you get the choice of any 2 of their appetizers which range from $5-$9.  This is very important let me repeat VERY IMPORTANT… they don’t down size their portions for happy hour, they are freakin’ huge!!!  Also for the drink lovers they had $4 wines, $1 off draft/bottle beer and $1 off rail drinks.  Not too shabby but we came for the food.

That wasn’t the only thing that impressed us, the choices were out of this world!!! Most places give you the standard chips and salsa, mozz sticks etc.. but no no F.W. Sullivans takes  happy hour from “content with a good meal at a good price” to “High fives, shake your booty and slap your momma meal”. Which we did, expect for the slap yo momma part (your welcome Paula and Jane).

 At first we were going to split 2 for $10 but after grazing over the menu we decided to go balls to the wall and get 2 apps each and splurge and splurge we did.

Bangkok Crispy Shrimp, Cheese and Bacon French Fries (CLASSIC), Hong Kong Crab Spring Rolls and wait for it…. Pork Shanks and Cheesy Grits.

In PB’s opinion, the Hong Kong Crab Spring Rolls made her taste buds dance like little fairies. Angeli’s was leaning more towards the Bangkok Crispy Shrimp as her award winner tonight. Similar to the Bang Bang Shrimp at Bone Fish Grill the Thai Garlic Chili Sauce was good enough to drink. But like always, give us, crispy french fries smothered in 2 types of cheeses, bacon, and sour cream and then you can say hello to foodcoma.com. The pork shanks fell of the bone (which kinda creeped PB out) and the cheesey grits were well… they were cheesey (and according to Angeli reminded her of tapioca pudding, forgive her she is a Yankee). All and all it was a great meal and with the extra left over’s was defiantly worth the extra cash money.

Okay we have to say this.. the food was great, the portion size fantastic, and the atmosphere seems, well like a great place to go after work but the shining star of the F.W. Sullivans experience was our waitress.. JENNIFER (PB guessed her name). She was just best waitress BY FAR we have ever had at a happy hour. She encouraged us to do our happy dance when he got the food, complemented us on our choices and the amount of food we consumed and with a bar full of people she didn’t rush us out and chit chatted with us often. But most importantly.. she DID NOT charge us for the sour cream.

 2 Thumbs up from both PB and Angeli…  and don’t forget to look for us in Jennifer’s wedding as her bridesmaids.. she doesn’t know it yet but we are like this now à X
