Everybody Hates a Parade

Our Poop family adventure to Buffalo Wild Wings in New Rochelle was a great success, but it got off to a rocky start.
First, the internet directions included a couple of streets we didn't really need.
Then when we got to the streets we did need, they were closed off due to a Thanksgiving parade. Thankfully the cop directing traffic gave us good enough directions that we were able to get there only a few minutes after the game started.
B-Dubs was in an outdoor mall called New Roc City, and we had to pay to park in the structure, but it was only $1 for 2 hours.



We were the first ones there, followed by a father and son dressed in Michigan gear. We both agitated to get the game on in the big screens in the front.
The game wasn't much to speak of, there was almost no offense for either side, and Michigan was particularly bad. But Ohio State won and advanced to the Rose Bowl and possibly back into the national championship pictures if Oklahoma wins the Big XII title game and LSU loses the SEC title game.
Mrs. Poop and I ordered the roasted garlic mushroom caps, delicious. We both had chicken tenders, Mrs. Poop also got popcorn shrimp. She went with the mild sauce, I went with hot.
With the tenders, the sauce comes on the side, and you can spread it yourself. I liberally doused 3 tenders, and sparsely decorated the other 3. Good idea. After the first two tenders bathed in hot sauce my mouth was burning, I was starting to sweat. I have no idea how Pizza Parlor Derek braved the Blazin wings.
Unfortunately, the place filled up quickly and we had the world's worst waitress. It was an hour or more after I asked that she finally brought the device to play the interactive trivia and poker games. Mine was defective so I couldn't see what my cards were. I did better at trivia though.
Chase slept the whole time, I didn't even get to take him out to show off his Poop on Michigan onesie.
We ended the meal with a delicious piece of chocolate cake a la mode.
The biggest problem was that there was a lot of traffic on the way home which turned our trip from what should have been half an hour into 50 minutes.
We did love B-Dubs, all 3 of us, but we probably won't head back until they build one a little closer.
