Brew N Que Bringing the BBQ!

Brew N Que
Apex, NC

Dish:  Smoked Chicken Wings 


Critique:  These wings are dry rubbed, slow smoked and then deep fried to a crisp.  Perfectly seasoned and proved to be some of the best chicken wings around town.  The Hotness did not share her wings at all and isn’t ashamed about admitting it.  She wants more wings at this very moment!

Score: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!












Dish:  BBQ Egg Rolls


Critique:  Stuffed with pork, collard greens, and chow chow.  If you have to ask: “What’s chow chow?”  Don’t feel bad, The Hotness didn’t have a clue neither until true country girl, Sweetly explained it to her.  Very satisfying and extra points for creativity.

Score: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!












Dish:  Redneck Nachos


Critique: Packed with everything imaginable: pork, fritos, baked beans, bleu cheese slaw, and special house sauce!  The Hotness didn’t know where to start with this dish but she certainly knew how to finish it…that’s what’s up!

Score:  4 Out of 4 Hotties!








Dish: BBQ Taco with Bleu Cheese Slaw


Critique:  Huge flour tortilla and it needed to be huge to hold all the yummy BBQ and slaw.  Be sure to carve out time to handle this taco challenge…don’t be intimidated.  It took Sweetly several minutes to tackle the taco.

Score: 3 Out of 4 Hotties!













Dish:  Baconanna Pudding


Critique:  The banana pudding was simply wonderful and who doesn’t love bacon?  However, this dessert made Sweetly say three words The Hotness thought she would never hear:  “Too much bacon!”  We scooped off the bacon bits and finished eating the delicious pudding.  Next time with we’ll order without the bacon…still a great dessert!

Score:  3 Out of 4 Hotties!

Milton's Pizza and Pasta...Pizza! Pizza!


Milton's Pizza & Pasta
Raleigh, NC


Dish:  Pizza! Pizza!


Critique:  We love Milton’s lunch time buffet.  It gives us the opportunity to enjoy the salad bar, pizza, pasta, ribs, chicken, dessert, etc.  There’s so many choices and not enough time to partake in the yummy options of goodness.  Milton’s pizza selection is fantastic and will satisfy any pizza aficionado!

Score: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!






Dish:  Salad Bar Yummy Salad


Critique:  The Hotness makes a beeline for the croutons and potato salad on Milton’s salad bar.  This is pretty major since The Hotness doesn’t eat just anybody’s potato salad.  This salad bar is legit, our only recommendation is to use plates instead of the tiny bowls at the bar.  Yes, The Hotness likes to pile her plate high at the buffet – totally ignoring Sweetly’s advice on pacing herself.

Score: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!




Dish:  Barbecue Beef Ribs


Critique: Saucy, tender, and delicious.  Sweetly’s eyes were bigger than her stomach and she tried to consume the entire pan of ribs, but the ribs won.  Apparently pacing yourself is harder when surrounded by delectable dishes.

Score:  4 Out of 4 Hotties!








Dish: Strawberry Ice Box Pie and Italian Cookies


Critique:  Sweet.  Refreshing. Strawberries.  This is one of The Hotness’ favorite desserts, it kind of reminds her of a Cool Whip pie.  She could have ate three slices but had to save room for the carrot cupcakes.  Definitely get the carrot cupcakes!  Go to Milton’s on an empty stomach and eat until your heart is content!  Don’t be shy, we weren’t!

Score: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!

J. Alexander's Restaurant- American Cuisine on the Raleigh Scene



Dish:  Mexico City Spinach con Queso

Critique:  Nice warm tortilla chips with cheesy queso.  The spinach made The Hotness feel like her appetizer selection was healthy choice.  We wish the queso was thicker, but it still calmed the savage hungry beast raging in the inside.

Score: 3 Out of 4 Hotties!





Dish:  Bacon Swiss Burger Topped with Cheese and Bacon

Critique:  Burger. Burger.  It has bacon and cheese and it definitely knows how to please.  Take your time on this one because each bite is worth it.  Sweetly loved the thick cut bacon and the heavenly loaded baked potato.  This is your official bacon and cheese par-tay!

Score: 4 Out of 4 Hotties!








Dish:  Warm Chocolate Cake

Critique:  Warm, gooey, and chocolatey.  Three words that The Hotness never gets tired of hearing.  A nice scoop of vanilla ice cream accompanied this lovely dessert.  Thanks to the fudge- it was fantastically sweet, which Sweetly rather enjoyed .  There is plenty of this goodness to go around so have lots of spoons!

Score:  4 Out of 4 Hotties!
