Ok everyone. I'm back and writing the blog back after a brief hiatus. Laura, Hayden, and I decided to go up to try a place opened up by former Penguin chef Greg Auten. We definitely were not let down. We saw on the menu that they had Crab Puppies. Yes I said crab puppies in case your mouth wasn't watering when I said it the first time. They were a deep fried conglomeration of deviled crab and hushpuppies served with a dill remoulade. They are rich with crab taste with some lemon and salty hushpuppy greatness that made me want to smack someone in the face. The sweet tea was awesome. The service was great even though it was extremely busy. Then comes the burger that I wanted first when I saw the menu the first time. The Mammoth Burger served Westside Style. Two, third pound hamburger patties stacked on top of eachother then smothered in homemade chili and a wonderful creamy chile slaw. You also have the option of adding american, cheddar, or pepper jack cheese. This is the first burger that I've ever eaten that I had to eat with a knife and fork. Sloppy, yes. Disgustingly horrible for you, yes. Wonderful and beautiful food served white trash Americana style. Laura had a fried turkey sandwich. The thing was so tasty I literally wanted to order another sandwich, but the mammoth burger was enough to almost give me the meat sweats. Another one of their favorites is the White Trash Burger which includes a burger topped with fried pickle chips and onion rings. With Penguin favorites they sure made a hit and then they added some definitely tasty additions and changes to the menu. The environment inside this place made the trip even better. It is an old filling station that is painted blue and has an American Flag painted VW beetle on the roof. Those of you that miss the Penguin as much as I do, will love this place. I will put up some pics of the food that I ate. Altogether I will give Pinky's a very solid 9/10.
