Crap food but a Firkin good time!Instead of making babies like the creator of this blog, my wife and I went out to make some noise at the bowling lanes at Firkin & Kegler. But before we started hurling balls down the lane we needed some high octaine grease energy.
With this post as evidence I found the perfect item to provide such energy. While the wife settled for some sausage pasta (top corner) I dove into the fried squid, for $8.95.
While the picture doesn't look half bad I must reveal the truth. First, you see that white space on the plate? The calamari actually took up that entire area, but as I took this picture it actually shrunk; similar to when you over cook something in the microwave. Second, it must have been cooked in the microwave because it was very dry and contained white areas that crunched like a thick and stale Tostitos chip. However, there were a few pieces that had a nice crunch and tender inside, but finding one was like panning for gold. While the lemon did add some color and intensify the flavor of my drink, it was the cocktail sauce that saved the day. Relentless dipping into the cocktail sauce provided the means to finish the dish!
After the meal we headed over to the lanes and had a Firkin good time! The best calamari has eluded us yet again!
Great Firken post Baraka..will avoid the Firken calamari at that Firken place. Thanks for the Firken heads up!!
