Dining Out @ TGI Friday's PJ - Part 2 (March)

So Akash is back from South Africa, to “get hitched for the rest of his life”, which is what he’s been telling me. Good for you brother, wish you all the happiness in life. Especially since you decided to treat us for a wonderfully satisfying dinner in TGI Friday’s. I’m not really sure who first suggested going to TGI Friday’s for dinner this time as Gangga and I have been planning to go there in March. Dining out twice in the same month? Whoa…ok. Technically, it is almost March…and this time, the soon-to-be-wedded couple also joined us. The more, the merrier…and it was definitely a night to remember.

I had some reservations in ordering drinks because they all seemed to contain some alcohol. Vicky had the Electric Lemonade, which is basically SKYY Vodka, sweet & sour with a jolt of blue Curacao. Gangga had his usual Margarita, while Akash had the Ultimate Strawberry Margarita. Not the one to be left behind, I had a glass of specially prepared Clear Oxygen mixed with two shots of Hydrogen that was run through a delicate combustion process which was stopped just when it reached vaporizing temperature. Yes, I had a glass of plain, boiled water.

We started off with the Buffalo Wings. (I think one of us actually thought that this dish consisted parts of beef due to its name, but of course the Buffalo in Buffalo Wings refers to Buffalo, New York.) A bit of history on Buffalo Wings from About.com:

There is some dispute about who came up with the original hot wing appetizer, but most credit the Anchor Bar in where else but Buffalo, New York, USA. The historic creation date for Buffalo Wings was October 30, 1964, when owner Teressa Bellissimo was faced with feeding her son and his friends a late snack. Having an excess of chicken wings on hand, she fried up the wings, dipped them in a buttered spicy chile sauce, and served them with celery and blue cheese dressing as a dipping sauce to cut the heat. The wings were an instant hit. The city of Buffalo has designated July 29 as "Chicken Wing Day," and today, the Anchor Bar serves up more than 70 thousand pounds of chicken per month! The Anchor Bar original recipe for hot sauce is now sold commercially.

The main course was truly scrumptious.

This is what Gangga had:



This is what I had - it's called Country Chicken, and yes I did have to try my best to finish it The mashed potato was thick, creamy and rich. The corn was just corn:

This is what Vicky had:



My dessert - which I fancied due to caramel contents and its imaginative name - Friday's Sundae:

And this, is the bill:

I don't remember if this picture was taken before or after the meal, I'm guessing it's after because...heck, I look HAPPY! and Akash on the right looking not so happy because he had to pay the bill! (thanks for the treat AK - it was truly a good dinner). Gangga just looks cool as always - no expressions. Or is he just stoned after the 2 glasses of Margaritas?
