Wings + Beer = Happy

SAD UPDATE: JUNIOR'S IS NO MORE...

It happens to us all eventually... We just weren't ready to let the weekend slip away. It was 9:30 on Sunday night and I decided that it was high time to make a beer and wing run. But where to go on a Sunday night can be a daunting question indeed. Then I remembered seeing the sign on Rt 6&11 in Clarks Summit for Junior's Chicken and Ribs, in the spot previously occupied by the now defunct Hemispheres. I looked up the number and called, sure enough they were open... I was off like a shot.

Once I arrived at Junior's, I was absolutely delighted at the beer selection. They have dozens of varieties, from the mega-brewers like Miller and Bud to an incredibly diverse selection of regional beers and microbrews. I also spied and made a mental note of some mini kegs in the lower right cooler. Half of my goal had been achieved, now I merely had to order my wings, but with at least 10 sauces to choose from, this was no small task. Un-adventurously, I decided on the medium Buffalo style and I was not disappointed. I had a Hoegarden and squirmed for 10 minutes as I watched The Sean Hannity Show on Faux News on the flat screen TV in the dining room while waiting for my order.

When I arrived home, we tore into both the beers and the wings. The wings were good, not great, but good. I would imagine that they would be a lot better if eaten in the dining room as they steamed a little in the takeout container and that made them not crispy at all. This is a universal problem when taking out wings. But I do not hold that against Junior's and will definitely go back to try some of the other menu items...pulled pork anyone?
