I could probably count on one hand the amount of times I went to Bdubs to eat some hot wings back in Ohio. I actually really hate them. I'm far too OCD to want to have a meal that constantly requires you to wipe your hands and face - or so I thought.
I've realised, that even while some places claim to sell 'hot wings' they're really offering mild wings. I've even found myself pouring tabasco sauce hoping they'll at least smell like they're hot! I don't know where this wing monster inside of me has come from, but it's been on a mission.
The Good: FINALLY a real hot dog bun!! So soft and sweet, I've missed you. Also, crispy bacon on a chili dog? That's some Man v Food action there. Also, the bleu cheese dip was to die for.

With it being Freedom Month July and me being homesick, I've turned to craving something I didn't even eat that often at home. I'm not sure how this works! Who would have thought that those sauces I once dished out to wing-hungry patrons would be all I could ever ask for?

I went to the The Diner not once, but TWICE in one week to get my American fix. Day 1 I tested out their hot wings, which came with the ever essential bleu cheese dip, and also ordered - get this, a chilli cheese dog. HAHAHA!! ME? Eating a whole chilli cheese dog? Yes, I damn well did! The amount of times I complained to people for liking Skyline Chili and I turn around and eat this beast? It's insane.

The Bad: Who in their right mind breads hot wings? I was so disappointed as I have no bigger food phobia of eating things that make a mess, than I do of things that are breaded and then made soggy by a sauce. They also weren't hot (as in spicy). But I ate them and I was satisfied enough from the seriously OTT hot dog in front of me.
The second time around, I figured I could trust the place for breakfast.

Powdered sugar: sweet check

Maple Syrup: served in a small pot that you pump fastfood ketchup in to - fail!
Once I was able to get the staff's attention again I did get more syrup, but honestly, you can't serve me pancakes that look like that and then syrup that I can lap up with one lick. That being said, The Diner gets the biggest points from me for being as close to home as the so-called American chains in London get. I was very impressed, very full and always left with a very happy taste in my mouth.
