| - A-OK.
I have actually never been much of a fan of BWW, but inevitably, I'll find myself in one at some point or another. How come? Well, like children from across the ages (pun intended), I can still succumb to peer pressure when grossly outnumbered. In my personal opinion all previous BWWs have only amounted to maybe a 2-star experience. This specific one earns a whole other star thanks to the awesome waitress, and the experience she facilitated single-handedly.
I have yet to think the food at any BWW is more than just meh; I just expect a little more for the price. I guess the experience justifies the mark-up for some. Here is no different in that aspect. I think it goes without saying that if you didn't like something, they do offer quite a selection in order to at least get it to be passable.
Now for the awesomeness. As per usual, I was experiencing the dilemma of which sauce to pick. I at least make it a point to try something new along with something I know I'll like -- just in case. Well our lovely waitress noticed my indecision and offered our table to try them all. Disbelief and excitement must have prevented me from immediately jumping all over that idea. She took that moment to explain that what BWW employees usually do to become familiar with all the sauces. I finally managed the motor skills required to nod my head vigorously, and off she went. I didn't know what to expect at this point as we haven't even ordered anything beyond our drinks; had I, we probably should have ordered a basket of plain fries for the endeavor. What she returned with was a large tray full of small, individually labeled containers with a dollop of the appropriate sauce in each. I'm in heaven at this point, just using my designated pinky finger to try each and every single one. The rest of my group tries a choice few, but no, I must try them all.
Here are my few take-aways: Buffalo is a sauce, not a seasoning, and their attempt at this twist failed miserably, horribly, etc. Salt & vinegar is as good on a wing as it is on a chip. What the hell is the point of Mild? Parmesan Garlic succeeds in getting those flavors not to overpower each other. I would put Chipotle BBQ and especially Desert Heat on something else too [e.g. fries or ribs] if you know what's a good idea. Where's the garlic in Spicy Garlic? Jammin Jalapeno and Caribbean Jerk could use a little more refinement in getting that flavor right. Thai Curry has surprisingly no false advertising in its name. Mango Habanero sneaks up on ya. Both Wild and Blazin are just heat without much flavor. Everything else wasn't noteworthy; therefore neither horrible nor any good.
This sort of thing is what I live for. Unfortunately, what little interest BWW had from me is now satisfied, and I see even less in returning to one. Oh yeah, we ordered food after this endeavor, and I couldn't care enough to remember what I even thought about it. What did it for me was this one awesome waitress and her experiment. Why I didn't hit on her is beyond me, but that's another story. If I ever absolutely, positively had to go to another BWW, this would be the one, but I'm okay if I never do.
