Yacht club

 

This week took us double dipping again.  Our first stop along the wing tour was at the Yacht Club located just North of 6^th street near the Iowa intersection.  The Yacht Club serves a wide variety of sandwiches and burgers, including some unique styles such as the Elvis inspired Goober burger topped with bacon and peanut butter.  And, of course, they have wings!  Wednesdays are their wing special for 40 cents per and you can order 5 at a time.  How did they rate?

Appearance was slightly above average.  Nothing really stood out.  They had the reddish orange hue you come to expect.   They were appropriately proportioned in both size and wingettes versus drumettes. 

Texture and tenderness was just average.  We did have some drumettes that got a little overcooked and this pulled their score down in this category.  There were no broken bones so that’s a plus! 

Flavor, most importantly, was above average.  Really good sauces and since this category is heavily weighted, it helped make up for a stellar-less appearance and some dried drummies. 

When everything was tallied and appropriately weighted out, the Yacht Club scored an overall 6.84.  Not too shabby but certainly lower than we expected. 

All in all though, this is a great place to eat, watch sports or gather after a Jayhawk win and celebrate with friends.  The interior is light and bright with a lot of timber and stone.  Televisions are everywhere for any sport viewing.  And there is an old score board permanently fixed with the 2008 NCAA Final National Championship game score frozen for all eternity.  Rock Chalk!
