Fine Neighborhood Chinese

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Here is another one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants billed as fine Chinese cuisine.  We find this is the perfect place to go when you want to dress up a bit and enjoy a stepped up dining experience without going blind from the prices.  The service is great and the food is the best of traditional Cantonese fare.  Our favorite is the Peking Duck served table side in two stages.  Appropriate dress is required. (Slacks and collard shirt.)

Richard’s Hot Wings

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

This is little pub in Windsor, Ontario nestled in the downtown area.  We heard about this place from a business associate when mentioning our love of wings and all things spicy.  Well our friends in Windsor have a place know for their novelty “Crunchy Chicken” and wings that are hot enough to send you tongue bathing in the Detroit river.  Their “Crunchy Chicken” has a very unique breading that will make you reminisce about your childhood.  Their wings… well there is a seasoning that literally requires you to sign a waiver before eating.  If (and that is a big “if”) you finish the wings they are free.  Most surrender long before then.  You have been warned!  They also have an awesome take on a Bloody Mary that helps cool the wings heat.

Northern Chinese

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

For those of you who enjoy Chinese food, this is a family favorite of ours.  This restaurant is nestled in the United States northern neighbor Canada, in Detroit’s  sister city of Windsor, Ontario (which is actually south of Detroit).  This is one of those places you stumble across and return time and time again.  We appreciate the friendliness and love the food. This restaurant is very modest but serves up a great dining experience.  Our family dinners usually include their “sticky bread” (steamed or fried), crispy green beans, and General Tso’s chicken.  The dress is very casual and the atmosphere is great for a dinner conversation.  So Canadians get ready for a little trip and Americans get out your passports or enhanced driver licenses for an international dining hunt.
