Great Chicken Wings And Wallet Friendly Specials at Friday’s
Friday's Chicken Wings
As I mentioned a few days back in a post about the chicken wings at Soup’s – which I didn’t think were up to snuff – there are definitely a shortage of places in Los Angeles that can cook up a decent chicken wing. One safe bet is actually Friday’s. They serve up a consistently meaty and delicious chicken wing. So every now and again when I get a hankerin’ for some ‘wangs’ I stop by.
I should also note that Friday’s has some great specials on appetizers during happy hour which is 4pm to close in the bar, and all day Sunday in the entire restaurant. Most appetizers are 50% off, which means you can get a delicious plate of wings for under 5 bucks.
Friday’s also has recently introduced a loyalty program called Give Me More Stripes which lets you build points toward various rewards and perks.
It’s good to know that in this crappy economy a big company is actually giving you some incentive to dine out and enjoy your life. I also came upon this advertisement at the table:
Fridays 2 for 20 deal
It offers up a great deal – an appetizer, two entrees, and a desert for only $20. An unbeatable deal!

The Jerry’s Deli Cobb Salad Is On My “Last Meal” List
Sometimes I try to imagine myself as a death row prisoner who has to select his last meal. It makes you think about what food you’ve had that has made a special connection to your inner psyche. One such meal, for me, is something simple, basic, and altogether wonderful. The Cobb Salad at Jerry’s Famous Deli.
It is filled with delicious ham, turkey, bleu cheese crumbles, bacon, tomatoes, and topped with half an avocado. Now, I love Cobb Salads and I’ve had them from many restaurants. And honestly, none are as good as the one at Jerry’s. Although, I must say the one at Daily Grill (Studio City, Santa Monica, etc.) comes pretty damn close. But, there is no Daily Grill in Woodland Hills, so they are dead to me. Well, okay that’s an exaggeration.
Since I almost always get this salad to go (because in December 2005 I had a bad experience where I almost had to kill a homeless degenerate inside the Jerry’s Deli, so I won’t eat at the restaurant any more), I always have them chop it and toss it, because if you try to do this at home, you will make a mess. I also get it with Italian dressing on the side, so I can gently mix it in myself. Traditionally a Cobb Salad is served with bleu cheese dressing, but I’m not a big fan of that. And, the Italian dressing at Jerry’s is dynamite, so it’s perfect for this salad.
Now, this is not an inexpensive salad. When I first started getting it in 2004 the after tax cost of buying this salad was $11.94. Now, it is close to $15.00. However, one day when I am a condemned man the taxpayers of the state of California will have to foot the bill for it for me.

Dropped By Soup’s To Check Out The Breakfast Menu
Ham and Cheese Omelette
When I was at Soup’s last week I made a note of the fact that they serve breakfast on gamedays durring the NFL and college football seasons. So, I decided to stop in Saturday and check out a few early games and a breakfast entree. The place has quite a lively atmosphere and many college football fans come out to watch the games. I had the Ham and Cheese Omelette with Swiss Cheese, Potatoes, and Rye Toast. Delicious.
You can see the rest of Soup’s breakfast menu here.

Taft Hopeful Bercovici Will Gain Eligibility, Hearing Set For Nov 12
Eric Sondheimer writes for LA Times:
Woodland Hills Taft continues to hope that junior quarterback Michael Bercovici, a transfer from Westlake, will gain his eligibility from the City Section.
Sondheimer also told me in a Twitter message this week that Bercovici has a hearing set for the issue on November 12th.
In other Woodland Hills football news, El Camino Real recovers from its loss last week to Taft and defeats Cleveland 19 to 7.

Taft Coach Kerstetter Gets Ejected, Must Sit Out Season Finale Next Week
Taft got a little complacent after last week’s big win against El Camino Real and lost what should have been a relatively easy game against Birmingham on Friday. Tempers flared up due to a missed ‘tripping’ call and Kersetter ended up getting a post game ejection, which means he has to sit out the game this week.
It was shocking enough when Birmingham of Lake Balboa upset heavily favored Taft of Woodland Hills 44-32 on Friday.
But the aftermath is even bigger.
So upset was Taft coach Matt Kerstetter that he berated an official after the game and was ejected, which technically didn’t mean anything at the time – but now Kerstetter must sit out Taft’s finale Friday at Cleveland of Reseda, per section rules whenever someone is ejected.
