GFJ (341) I heart PEELS!

Last night I finally had dinner a PEELS. Contrary to many people telling me the food wasn't great, I found everything to be DELICIOUS... Before dinner, M2 and I already reviewed the menu online and were discussing what we were going to order. This, is acceptable as she is pregnant however it is dead embarrassing for me as I AM NOT.

As none of us had eaten at PEELS before we decided to order some appetizers to share. I have never been a fan of the corndog however I am now addicted to the ones at PEELS. They are so freaking good, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.. And the Potato Dumplings... They were so yummy that we ordered another appetizer portion after we polished off the first one.

Since AD had already reached his "Fried Chicken Quota" for the month, it was up to M2 and I to split it for dinner. The honey they serve with this Fried Chicken is delightful.. As for the chicken, it was agreed all around that it was NOT greasy and VERY delicious. A def MUST ORDER.

AD tried out the Lamb Shank and kindly shared some with us. We all liked how there was NO element of mint with this shank and that it was sans lamb smell. It's perfect for a cold winter's evening.

Now M2, the prego one, only wanted to order one dessert. I heisman'd her and we ended up with the Tres Leches Cake and the 3-in-1 pie.. Had Baltimore Spanksgiving not been cancelled, I would have picked up a few of those pies.




My favorite thing, aside from the Martini Glasses at Peels, is the fact that AD is giving M2 a kiss in the background of this picture.
