Another food safari and another BBQ crawl with my son-in-law (we're both aspiring pitmasters and…read morelove to try new places together; it's our thing). This week's excursion brought us to Struggletown BBQ in Mount Sinai, NY. From what I learned, what started as a food truck morphed into a brick-and-mortar business that has obviously hit its stride. This place is awesome! On the table this time was a "Big John Sampler", a 1/4# platter of brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and ribs, as well as a side of chicken wings in an Alabama White Sauce and corn bread. Absolute winners all around. My first real introduction to corn bread was from Paul Prudhomme's cookbook "Louisiana Kitchen," where I learned to make, and love, a traditional southern corn bread (moist, flaky, and somewhat sweet). Of all the places that I've been to, in my humble opinion, this place has the best outside K-Paul's. There is a reason that it's one of the most requested items from the restaurant. It was excellent! Why am I making a fuss about cornbread? Because it's the details that make a restaurant great. Next came the chicken wings in Alabama White Sauce. I'm now a convert. Sure, I've had it a few times, but this version was eye-opening! Perfectly smoked, then fried chicken wings slathered in this red-sauce alternative was an epiphany for me. I don't think I'll ever look at the humble chicken wing the same way again. I am spoiled for life! Goodbye Buffalo, hello Decatur (where the sauce reputedly originated). Yeah, that good and worth traveling for. The meats? What you want from a BBQ joint. The brisket, pulled pork, and chicken were all juicy and smoked to perfection; the ribs had a smoke ring that made me jealous of their skill set (I'll get there one day). Have I said "awesome? yet? Plenty of parking, all cards, and they cater! This is one of those places that you'll want to day trip to if you're jonesing for some smoky greatness. Very nice people behind the counter and a magician working the pits. You gotta go here. Just not on a Monday, they're closed.

They're perfect with the pickles, and while the jalapeños are good too, the pickles really take them to another level. I also think the seasoning really tastes amazing. The app is super easy to use and makes ordering incredibly convenient. Pickup is always ready right on time, and my order has never been wrong. The owner is one of the nicest people you'll meet and clearly cares about the customers. The restaurant always looks clean, welcoming, and well put together, which makes it an even better place to stop by. I don't remember the bar being there when the place first opened, but that could just be my memory. Either way, it's a really cool addition and gives the place a great atmosphere. Easy Munchies. Great food, great service... and the pens always work.

This is a fairly new Atomic Wings location. I'd been excited to try them out and they did not…read moredisappoint! I was immediately greeted, upon entering. The woman behind the counter was pleasant and amusing with a welcoming smile. It was not particularly busy, as there were a few patrons waiting for pick-up and delivery drivers coming in and out. The restaurant is well laid out between dining area, bar and order counter. In hindsight, I can't say I can think of another Atomic Wings with a bar. I placed my order and was offered a drink while I waited by a wonderfully mustachioed (and bearded!) gentleman. Keep that type of kind service up, I will have to make this a regular haunt! Atomic Wings does the best kind of chicken IMO. No breading, still crisp, not fussy. Their standard blue cheese is often lacking a 'zing', but I've noticed some stores don't use the franchise dressing. My order was for a 10 piece tradition wing, well done with Thai Chili sauce, and blue cheese dressing. My wings didn't get soggy, even with a ten minute drive home. It's because they have vented take out containers! No need for me to crack the box open so air can escape The wings were perfection. Thai chili had the best blend of spicy and sweet. The blue cheese tasted a bit ranch-y but was still quality and enjoyable with chunks of cheese. It wasn't until well after making short work of my wings that I realized there was no celery/carrot included. I wonder if that's because I didn't ask for them, or if they're not offered at this location. Either way, I didn't need them and barely noticed, just a mention of you're into that kind of thing.

I think the mocktail was called summer peach... but I would definitely get it again. My wrap was huge and delicious. I would definitely go back.

I come here for trivia and the food has gotten better since the name and menu changed. We were…read morelooking for a different trivia spot for a while because the food was not great with the past menu but now the mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders and service are great. They have your typical sports bar menu with beer, dips, wraps, wings, etc. If you like having plenty of choices for wings, you'll like Alice's. They have blaze-sweet & spicy ranch, chipotle BBQ, garlic parm, mango habanero, and plenty of other options too. Alice's shares a parking lot with many other nearby establishments, but there is plenty of parking.

After checking their facebook I found that they do a dinner buffet on Thursdays and figured it'd be the best way to try out multiple dishes. From the moment I walked in I was met with the kindest smiles and felt like I was being treated like family. Sometimes in a small setting, I can get a little uncomfortable but here I could feel so much love and warmth that it felt like I was sitting at a big family dinner. And what a dinner it was, not only was it the comforting meal I was looking for but every dish I tried was better then the next. There were plenty of options from multiple Curry's to tandoori chicken, samosas and other apps available. Both meat eaters and vegetarians would walk away with a full heart and belly. I highly recommend checking out Clay Oven.

Fresh cabbage, bright and tasty ackee and saltfish (not too salty at all) two big slices of sweet plantain, yummy rice and peas (peas not dry) and surprise two pieces of fried dumpling as a cherry on top. Since I had a long day at work I also ordered chicken and beef patties and coco bread to hold me over. These damn patties were the flakiest, so yummy! As this location is in the Northeast of the Us I'm not surprised it's delicious, I'm just pleasantly surprised and looking forward to trying more next time I'm in town. Thanks for the nom noms fam.

I'd probably pass on the fish next time, but I definitely want to give their other menu items a try.
