With the pressure of finals and other end-of-semester business looming large over our shoulders, let's visit somewhere where you can relax, put it all behind you and gawk at some TVs nicer than yours.
Our destination this week? Foghorn's.
Not only is it close to campus, but it is also just a fun place to go enjoy some Buffalo wings and cold drinks (sweet tea, thank you).
The walls are covered in so many TVs that I thought I had subconsciously drifted back yet again to Best Buy to stare at so many 42-inch, HD dreams yet to come true. A few basketball games were on, which warmed my soul. If you ever find yourself needing a place to watch the Razorbacks play, they say that the games are always on at Foghorn's.
While the sports bar atmosphere is great for relaxing and talking with friends, the most impressive aspect of the restaurant rests on an entire page of the menu. By my best count, Buffalo Wild Wings offers 14 sauces. I used to think that made for a difficult decision. Try 50 sauce flavors from Foghorn's. Yes, 50.
In order to take full advantage of the overabundance of sauces ole Foghorn has to offer, I recommend going on a Tuesday night when they offer all-you-can-eat wings for $12.99. My problem with their system: they serve them 10 at a time and they must be the same flavor. That drastically dashed my hopes of trying at least 10 different sauces. To beat the system, simply order different flavors than your wingman and maximize your wingspan.
Word play aside, using that tactic took my dinner party up to seven sauces (with two of us on the all-you-can-eat plan).
Based on those seven, my favorite would have to be the Hot Honey Barbecue (#15).
The Acid Rain (#4), their most popular sauce, was also really good. Another preferred flavor was Gold (#43). Gold features "all the sweet tanginess of mustard seeds and smoky BBQ sauce," in case you were wondering.
The Bourbon Glaze (#41) was also delicious, and it had a unique, bold Bourbon flavor.
