The Feeling That Something Bad Is About To Happen ... Again!
(Scroll down to "The Playlist" and hit play before reading... works better that way!)
Not for the feint of heart ... Today's menu is full of Louisiana Hoodoo, smoky swamp blues, a little VooDoo chicken and a special brew from the VooDoo Queen herself.
So, come on in and follow us through the low hanging moss deep into the bayou.
Watch out for the gators (you know they love chicken). And, be careful you don't see you a Loup Garou. Tis the season...

You gonna need a little Gris Gris to survive this adventure.

The Plate...
VooDoo Chicken Wings
At the restaurant we always had the one customer that said - "That all ya got? I wanna see some real heat!" So, when we did our wings, we offered them regular, spicy or VooDoo!
Made people sign a disclaimer. Hell, if you ate six wings without passing out we even gave you a certificate.
See, the secret was to get a hot sauce that, at first wasn't that bad; but on the back end... Katie bar the door and bring out the fire extinguisher!
So... consider yourself warned.
Use extreme caution! May cause spontaneous combustion... Proceed at your own risk!!!
