They've got awesome wings! The strongest lemon pepper flavor you'll ever taste! Totally great. The calzones are also great. The pizza slices (if you could even see the dough under all the toppings) are also great.

Only downside, is it it took them over an hour to deliver and like I said, we're right down the street. So, if you're close to them, I would advise to go pick it up!!

GREAT FOOD, not so fast, but well worth it!

Corned Beef & Cabbage

One of my personal favorites, corned beef & cabbage. Hey don't forget the mashed potatos. And it doesn't have to be St. Patricks day to eat this!

You need:
  1. 4-5 lb. corned beef brisket
  2. 2 whole cloves
  3. 10 whole black peppercorns
  4. 2 bay leaves

Directions:

  1. Wipe corned beef with damp paper towels.
  2. Place in large kettle; cover with cold water.
  3. Add cloves, black peppercorns and bay leaves.
  4. Bring to boiling; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
  5. Skim surface; then simmer, covered 3-4 hours or until meat is fork tender.

Some places advise you to cook the cabbage in the corned beef, i would rather taste the cabbage the way God intended so I use a seperate pot.

Other things to keep in mind, the longer you boil the corned beef, the more tender it is / the more better it is!
