There isn\u2019t a single type of food that doesn\u2019t attract my attention, so I embrace this gift that was given to me.<\/p>\n
I have a few friends who eat their burgers plain and refuse to taste ketchup. If you are one of those people, open your heart and take a look at my guide to the best food in town.<\/p>\n
Chicken wings<\/strong><\/p>\n Frickers takes the prize as the area\u2019s best chicken wing spot with its 35-cent Tuesday wing night, a variety of sauces and a wing size that dwarfs BW3\u2019s wings.<\/p>\n It\u2019s no secret that chicken wings rule my appetite. They\u2019ve controlled my diet for the previous seven years, and I can honestly say I\u2019m addicted to Frickers.<\/p>\n Recommended order: 10 teriyaki wings, a basket of brew fries and a Dr. Pepper.<\/p>\n Burgers<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re craving a tasty burger, you will have to wait until the spring.<\/p>\n Only seasonally opened, the Dixie Dairy Dreem sells minis called Pinky burgers. Located on South Dixie in Moraine, Dixie Dairy Dreem\u2019s two-ounce burgers come in pairs at $1.95 and are scrumptious.<\/p>\n Recommended order: four Pinkie burgers, an order of fries and a banana milkshake.<\/p>\n Hot dogs<\/strong><\/p>\n Other restaurants have noticed the decline in business courtesy of various Tuesday wing nights. Vandalia\u2019s Little York Tavern offers up an appetizing deal for non-chicken wing lovers: 25-cent Coney dogs.<\/p>\n I grew up on Skyline Chili, so when I think of a Coney I picture a tiny dog stacked with cheese, chili and onion. At Little York Tavern, the size of their hot dogs is twice as big as Skylines with the same toppings.<\/p>\n Recommended order: four Coney dogs and a Sam Adams Winter Lager.<\/p>\n Nachos<\/strong><\/p>\n Just about every restaurant offers up a stereotypical plate of nachos: Chips, cheese, jalape\u00f1os, sour cream, etc.<\/p>\n Smokey Bones Chicken Chili Nachos hits the spot like no other. The appetizer is topped with onions, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cr\u00e8me, jalape\u00f1os and beef and chicken chili.\u00a0 Smokey Bones has the best appetizers in town, and after 9 p.m. all apps are half-off. Can\u2019t beat that.<\/p>\n Recommended order: Chicken Chili Nachos, an order of fire stix and a peach iced tea.<\/p>\n Just make sure you run five miles before every one of the above meals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There isn\u2019t a single type of food that doesn\u2019t attract my attention, so I embrace this gift that was given to me.
