Wings n Things is a restaurant located on Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach. They have this appetizer there that I have never seen anywhere else and it is awesome.

"RACHEL ROOSTER RINDS
Great buffalo wing taste without the fuss. Crispy deep fried chicken coverings dipped in buffalo wing sauce. A Wings 'N Things original specialty!"



These are just as incredible as they sound. Where else can you get just the chicken skin? Deep fried and dipped in buffalo wing sauce?

Just these Rooster Rinds alone are worth the trip. But check out these fries, too. Fresh cut, curly and salty.




The wings were pretty good. I still think the House of Brews in Huntington Beach have the best wings.




We killed it. There was also a salad and some chicken tenders in there.

BJs BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich...

Went to BJ's Restaurant Brewhouse the other night and saw a new sandwich being offered...BJ's BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich. Let me say...incredible. I order pulled pork sandwiches a lot of different places to see what they have to offer, this was like Drake "Best I Ever Had"..



The sandwich has an ordinary white bun topped with a delicious serving of sweet, savory pulled pork and crunchy onion straws. It also comes with a side of cole slaw and your choice of fries or onion straws. A side of extra BBQ sauce accompanies the dish in a square ramekin...



BOMB.

Surf City x Pizza x Detroit Bar x Alejandro's x Collossal KNXN =...

Saturday Night, December 5th, 2009. Recap. First up, dinner time. Time for a slice at Surf City Pizza. I wrote a review of it here. They know me here by name. We chat for a few minutes while the slices are in the oven. Friendly service, but do not order delivery. It could take up to two hours.




The slices are perfect, but the interior of Surf City Pizza is what takes it to the next level. Surfboards, pictures of waves, vintage pictures of Huntington Beach... basically anything to do with Surfing or Surf City, HB.





Highly recommended for a slice or a pie to pick up. I love the crust. It's slightly salty and crispy, which I like. All I really get there is the pizza, so I cannot really comment on much else on their menu. Their buffalo wings are okay.

Next up, Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa. Colossal KNXN were spinning and boy oh boy, did they kill it! They played all the hits; old school, new school, house, hip hop, motown, everything. I was very pleased and impressed with the DJs and the crowd. Friendly , good looking people out for a good time.



I was drinking Amstel Lights and finishing up my boy's shots of Patron. Detroit is always a cool if you bring a positive attitude and know how to have a good time.



Last stop, Alejandro's right in the same parking lot as Detroit. As you can see, I judge a Mexican spot by their carne asada burrito. Alejandro's did not disappoint. Their carne asada is perfection in a tortilla. While their salsa is not what I would call top notch, their burrito was exactly what I desired at 1AM. It was hard to get a picture of my food, but trust me, it was delicious. The tacos also looked scrumptious.







Made it home safe and sound. Good times, good food, good music...

Giant Slices of Pizza!!

Not only do I love pizza, but I especially love giant slices of pizza. The first place I think of when I talk about giant slices is a little spot in Huntington Beach called Pizza D'Oro down on Newland and Indianapolis. I grew up in the area and this was my first exposure to a slice that was so big it would fall over the edges of most plates.

Cooking giant slices is tricky because you are essentially reheating/ recooking them. I love when they cook those pepperonis up nice and hot.

Pizza D'Oro is the standard to which I hold all other giant slices to. The operation has those red and white checkered tablecloths and give really good service. It is one of the best and biggest slice of pepperoni pizza around. The slice combo also comes with a nice salad with mozzerella cheese and a few pepperonis on it as well.



The other location I have discovered is called Giant Manhattan Pizza in the city of Anaheim on Brookhurst and Katella. One day I had an hour lunch after a training in the area and found this gem. One of the special things Giant Manhattan brings to the table is they cut up the slice for you. It makes it much easier to eat. They also serve up the slices on a food tray to show you the true power of their pie. I included a shot of a full pie about to get sauced and cheesed so you could behold the power of their pizza.







Giant Manhattan is also excellent pizza, but it will take some time to get their slice, so don't expect your food to come out quick. Good food takes time. Your patience will pay off.

Do you have any favorite places to get a slice at?

Big Belly Crew Hats...

These hats are coming straight off the streets of Orange County... Garden Grove to be exact. Big Belly Crew is a clothing company started up by two brothers who love to drink Jack Daniels, eat food, and live life to the fullest. Check out their full line of shirts, shorts, and tanks here. You might see Street Bike Tommy rocking a t-shirt in a few episodes of Nitro Circus this past season.


I'm not ready to come to terms with my own big belly, so these hats are enough for me. That brown is sharp, especially with the Holiday season coming around. Check back at Surfside Industriesfor the latest Big Belly Crew gear and everything else you need!

Supermex...

Most of the posts so far have been about pizza and wings. That is really my specialty, but this week I am dropping a few Mexican food posts. First up, >Supermex. Went there with a good buddy, so we were able to sample everything the place had to offer.

When I measure a Mexican food place, I order a carne asada burrito. A great man once said, "You go to Italy, you get spaghetti. You go to France, you write poetry..." Well, when I go to a Mexican food place, I order a carne asada burrito.

Burrito was bomb. Love the guac on there. Great presentation.

This place also has some top notch chips and salsa. I would say Supermex's chips and salsa go toe to toe with any other chips and salsa out there. (On a side note, I do rank Chili's as one of the top chips and salsa out there. So keep that in mind.)

Don't go there expecting to get the world's greatest service in the world. These guys bring out the food. They are not there to listen to your life's problems, so get a fucking therapist for that.

Good food though.

Village Pizza in Big Bear..

Snowboarding season in Southern California is over, but whenever I head up to Big Bear I love to stop at Village Pizza and grab a large pepperoni to help me unwind from a long day of carving up the mountain.

There is something different about this pizza that makes it delicious. Maybe it is the fact that is prepared on top of a mountain. Maybe it is the fact that I am so starving from snowboarding that I devour the pizza like a T-rex. Whatever it is, Village Pizza kicks ass.



I have been there probably four or five times, and everytime it does not disappoint. The key to a good pizza is getting those pepperonis nice and crispy. These guys get it.

House of Brews...

House of Brews in Huntington Beach. I am a Buffalo Wing expert. I try Buffalo Wings everywhere I go. I will have Buffalo Wings for breakfast.

With that being said, these are without a doubt the best wings I have ever had. Feel free to disagree. But please try them first and then tell me a better place.

Best Buffalo Wings ever.

Their Meatball Pizza is also incredible. Beer is always cold. The game is always on. Their fries are also top notch. You can rely on good service there as well.
