Grillin' Wings & things

Now this my friends....is truly a treasure......what a fantastic place.  Located in the Bonnie Brae area on University Blvd.......Michael Godart has created a keeper. Opened in August of 2012....Grillin' Wings & things is a unique experience.....with not only chicken wings....but pig

wings....that's right....pig wings.  In this place....pigs do fly.

Okay.....so they are not really pig wings...but small, fall off the bone mini pork shanks.....and they are delicious.  There are 12 different type of sauce flavors you can choose from for your chicken wings and pig wings. We opted to order both chicken and pig wings...as we were intrigued. So, our chicken sauces were Mango Habanero and Sweet Chili, and for our Pig wings we selected Hot and BBQ.  We also ordered a small order of fries...and of course I get a Dale's Pale Ale....one of my favorite beers.

The chicken wings were very meaty...and they were finished on the grill...which added a lot of extra flavor.  Along with the wings, already sauced....we also received little dipping containers with more of the sauces that we ordered...just for some extra pizazz.  The pig wings....were incredible and the meat just fell off of the bone.  Rich flavorful pork ribs with terrific sauce...and an ice cold beer.....it just does not get any better than this.

There is not doubt in my mind...that Michael and Grillin' Wings & things will be around for a long, long time....you just can't create a great taste...and a little pig niche...without folks noticing.This is a destination resturaunt.....not just one "if you are in the neighborhood"....so get on down to Grillin' Wings & things....and tell them Colorado's Hidden Treasures sent you.

Stay hungry!!!!!

Willy's Wings

Willy's Wings in Morrison Colorado has been doing wings....before wings were popular.  Established in 1982....Willy's offers a buffalo style of wings......with several levels of HOT.  You can order mild, medium, hot, x-hot.....and xx-hot.  Along with buffalo flavor, you can also order BBQ, Honey BBQ, spicy BBQ and teriyaki flavors.

Our Wings

The wings are large, with a good mix of drummies and paddles, and come out fresh.  You can order blue cheese or ranch...and you also get celery sticks.  We ordered medium and hot and a small order of fries.

We were not disappointed when they arrived as they were still really hot from the fryer, and the buffalo sauce smelled terrific.
It was a really nice night, so we sat on their deck outside and enjoyed the weather along with our meal.

After you are done with the delicious wings, you can stroll around the town of Morrison.  Antiques, Bar's and other restaurants line the streets of Morrison....so there is always something to do.

Fire On The Mountain

Our first stop for March ("Wings Month") was at Fire On The Mountain in the Highlands area...and wow were we surprised.  What a great atmosphere with probably the happiest, most friendly people working there.  Before ordering, they have small celery sticks on the counter, where you can try any one of, or all if you like....the 12 sauces that they offer for their wings.

Flavors for March 4th 2015

As you can see, they offer some very interesting flavors for your wings.  For our order, we selected the "Blueberry Chipotle", the "Medium" and then the "Jamaican Jerk".  We also ordered some "hand cut" fries.  After our food order was placed.....we could then study the beer chart that they were offering for the day.  I settled on the Lagunitas "Hop Stoopid"  (8% abv) which was a perfect choice to go with the wings.....I like a hoppy beer.


While enjoying your beer, waiting for your wings....you are treated to some terrific music from the 60's and 70's.....that gave the place a natural feel to just having a relaxed experience.....it was great.

Before our wings were ready, the hot, fresh "hand cut" fries arrived, and were totally welcomed to

Fantastic looking wings

accompany our beers. When the wings arrived, it was hard to decide which flavor to try first.  Normally jerked wings are made with a dry rub...but not here, these were wet with a delicious sauce.

The combination of the hot fries with malt vinegar, and the wings....with a cold beer was just what was needed after a day of work.

El Taco Loco

El Taco Loco will close out the month of February (Taco Month).

Located on Main Street in Brighton, El Taco Loco was truly a good find.  We arrived on a Saturday about 1:15 PM....and the parking lot was full....always a good sign.  Luckily we did not have to wait for a table, and we were seated in the back room.  Since we were there for tacos, searching the menu was quite easy,  That being said, they have a really large menu of terrific sounding Mexican dishes along with a really large selection of seafood prepared in traditional Mexican fashion.

Listed under the "House Specialties" were our tacos.  They offer tongue, pork, spiced beef, chicken and shredded beef.  The normal order comes with 4 tacos, but you can order 3 tacos and also get rice and beans....so this was out order.

Three shredded beef tacos with rice and beans

As you can see from the picture, the tacos come on warm soft corn tortillas along with rice and beans.  You also get lettuce, tomatoes, onions and two large lime slices to add some citrus flavor.

The beef was seasoned to a juicy deliciousness with just the right amount of heat.  You also get a squeeze bottle with their Verde (green) sauce to kick the tacos up another notch.

While we were eating, I was noticing the rest of the folks in the restaurant. El Taco Loco seems like a place where all of the locals come to eat....this is another good sign.  We saw entire families, including grandma and grandpa there for a good meal.  When other folks were coming in, they seemed to know a lot of other folks in the place.....which was fun to watch....like old home week......but truly, it is probably every week for these regulars.

If you ever find yourself up in the Brighton area, or just want to take a drive and eat some authentic Mexican food....give El Taco Loco a try......they will not disappoint.
