Waterfront Mary's - Winner of the 2011/2012 Refrigerated Toilet Roll Award!

After much deliberation, the prestigious 2011/2012 Refrigerated Toilet Roll Award goes to:

Waterfront Mary's - Sturgeon Bay WI

The winning food category for Waterfront Mary's is - Hot Wings.



One has to pay homage to their chef for delivering what are perhaps the tastiest and hottest (non competition) wings in Door County.
After a brief discussion with the chef, it came to light that their hot wing sauce, which is also available on a burger and as a side, is actually a compound hot sauce made from various pepper varieties. It's one of those that's always 'alive', it just keeps getting added to from whatever is available. It's a hot sauce of a heat level around 90-92 on the 'Scale of Suffering', which is pretty darn good IMHO.
Now the kicker is, it would seem that the Habanero used in this sauce isn't your typical store-bought pepper which is gas-ripened and well down on heat. The Habanero in their sauce tastes very much like the Habaneros I grow at home, full-strength with a slight 'Bhut Jolokia' after taste.

Excellent!

I can also report on their Burger with the extreme hot sauce, it was diabolically good!

Congratulations to Waterfront Mary's for winning this award. As readers know, we're very selective about issuing our RTR award and would rather skip a year than award it to a business that isn't worthy. But Waterfront Mary's are more than worthy recipients of the RTR award and God bless them for firing up Door County!

Frankicken Lickin' Chicken....

A spokesperson for Frank, the entrepreneur behind the world famous 'Frank's Hot Sauce', has confirmed that the company founder has recently sanctioned a new project involving the pre seasoning of chickens through various stages of their development.

"By catching them young, we can begin the marinading process and enhance the flavor profile of the bird", said Seth Kanutzen, the Frank's Hot Sauce Spokesperson.


"The birds seem to like it too, we have a lower than 3% rejection rate from a sample of 1000 chickens".
Kanutzen went on to explain "People need to understand that the modern day chicken has no purpose other than to lay more chickens and act as a delivery system for hot sauce. The earlier in the cycle we can introduce the hot sauce, the better it is for the consumer".

Where to stay in Door County.

So you're coming to Door County and you're looking for a comfortable yet affordable room. You want to be close to the action, but not so close that you're in the middle of it. My recommendation - The Lull-Abi Inn Motel in Door County WI
Why stay at the Lull-Abi? - It's clean, affordable and located in Egg Harbor, which is just about ideal for getting around Door County. You can walk 20 yards for breakfast or lunch, take a five minute walk down to the new Egg Harbor Marina, or wander around the village and checkout the great places to shop and dine. It's all in easy walking distance from the motel.

Also, if you enjoy live music, Egg Harbor has a couple of great outdoor music venues, both of which are within a few minutes walk of the Lull-Abi Inn. You can stroll down to the park in Egg Harbor and watch a free concert, usually midweek from around 5pm or so. Or, you can walk over to the Peg Egan center on most Sunday evenings in the season and watch National and International touring bands and musicians perform outdoors, completely free.
If music isn't your scene, take a walk down to the Shipwrecked Inn, just a leisurely 10 minute walk from your room at the Lull-Abi, and enjoy a fine micro beer brewed on-premises or a nice local wine made at the Door Peninsula Winery. Then walk back to your motel without the worry of having to drive.
There's simply no good reason to pay a small fortune for hotel accommodation in Door County when you have a gem like the Lull-Abi Inn - clean, comfortable and great value motel rooms right in the heart of the Door Peninsula!
