Fine Living

Spring is just around the corner and that means the start of the barbecue season.  And what better way to celebrate the start of the barbecue season than with the awesome Frontgate Viking Grill?  This high-end “barbecue machine” belongs in every Unfinished Man’s backyard.

The 62” Frontgate Viking Grill is constructed out of stainless steel for maximum toughness and features a double-wall hood construction for better heat retention and to prevent discoloration.  The grill features an open car design for easy access to accessories and comes with three 25,000 BTU stainless steel burners and has 836 square inches of cooking surface.  That’s enough BTU’s and cooking space to feed the entire neighborhood.

It’s time for the colonel to step aside and let someone else take the Fried Chicken throne as there is definitely a new bad boy in town. One cold March morning as I was stuck in Seattle traffic and musing over the daily grind, I happen to look to the right and my eye was caught by a ‘now open’ sign for a fried chicken restaurant. I think it was the ‘Est. 1984’ claim that got me curious but all I know is that I felt an overwhelming urge to get in there and try that chicken!

It would be two weeks until I actually had the opportunity to go into ‘heaven sent’ and diffuse my curiosity. When you first enter the restaurant there is nothing to show that there is anything special inside. The décor is pretty average and the pictures of live chickens framed around the restaurant are kind of a turn off (do I really need to see that poor innocent chicken before it goes into my belly?)
