Flying Saucer: Atomic

Welcome back my royal subjects.  This have been extremely busy in the real world, so this post has been delayed, but do not fret.  The king has returned.  Recently, the royal court has decided that we should join the UFO club at the Flying Saucer in Addison.  Drink 200 different beers and you get a plate on the wall and a fun party!  There has been a lot of big talk and banter coming from the female section of the royal court about being able to accomplish this task.  It should be an interesting challenge, and I imagine there might be quite a few chicken wings as a bonus.  We decided to kick things off after the Queen and her ladies got off work one Friday, and of course I decided that I needed to sample the fine chicken wings at the Saucer.


As an appetizer, we had some excellent loaded cheese fries.  That was a big plate, so we were kind of full.  We decided to split a small order of 8 wings made with their Atomic sauce!  They were fairly good sized, naked, fried to a delicious crispiness, and served with celery and carrot sticks.  They had a powerful aroma that I would expect from an Atomic sauce.  After digging in, we were slightly disappointed.  The wings themselves were great texture and very well cooked, but the flavor was lacking.  There was definitely some heat, which was nice, but there wasn't much seasoning.  The wings actually seemed to be lightly tossed in some type of chili oil rather than some fancy sauce made with a secret blend of peppers and hobo spices.  It was unique for sure, and tasted pretty good, but the flavor wasn't bold enough.  The heat hit you pretty quickly but topped off just as fast.


To drink 200 beers, we will be going back to the Flying Saucer a lot.  I will definitely get these wings again after I try all of their sauces.  Stay tuned and I'm sure we'll be updating more wings, more beer, and more fun as we continue our quest to accomplish all 200 beers.  2 down, 198 to go.
