RIP - THE GEORGETOWN is NOW CLOSED
Last year I stopped into a sports pub down in the
'Southwest Spudachos' are "Corn battered lattice cut potato, topped with pico de gallo, chipotle ranch sauce, melted Monterey jack and mozzarella cheese served with a side of sour cream" and LJ added beef to the dish. They were crispy and cheesy, and didn't get too soggy despite the cheese and sauce.
I was re-sampling the wings this night. They were big and crispy, just like last time I had them. They are a large wing that is meaty, but they aren't tough or rubbery like some place with their 'mutant' wings.
I decided to try a couple flavours of wings (since it was wing night) and they had added more flavours since I was here last. Some of the new ones include:
- Spicy Thai
- Hickory Smoke
- BBQ Mild/BBQ Medium
- Frank's Sweet Heat BBQ
- Hot n Honey
- Lemon Myrtle
- Pepperberry
- Chipotle & Forestberry
BONE DUST BBQ
I don't know if this is `King of the Q` Ted Reader's Bone Dust rub or their own recipe, but it was a tasty seasoning. It's hard to see it because the colour blends in with the crispy wing skin, but it is there.
The flavour was pretty mild. You really had to savour each bite to pick up the hint of this BBQ rub. I'd like something a bit more bold personally.
HICKORY SMOKE BBQ
Keeping with a slight 'que' theme I went with their regular BBQ sauce (as opposed to their mild/medium BBQ). I just had it on the side to accent the Bone Dust if it was too dry a dry rub.
SUICIDE
For those of you smarty pants that remember when I went last time or just re-read the review now, you will note that I had suicide wings then. Yes I did. But I remembered that they didn't have a set recipe for suicide, so I decided to try it again.

The only thing I will never understand about Ottawa place with wings is the frigg'n sour cream. Not a worthy wing dip. But praise worthy wings. I really enjoyed the suicide sauce. A lot. I'll be back again, and maybe I will sample one of their Australian flavours . . .

I don't eat sour cream ... take it away!
Looks like you had a great selection of wings. Next time I'm in Ottawa, I'll check 'em out.
Teena - I want sour cream with nachos or potato skins etc. Not chicken wings. I don't know how good the beer selection is there though . . .
Sour cream is perfect for quesadillas and such. But wings? Odd. Very odd. If you're going to settle, at least give me some Ranch Dressing if not Blue Cheese.
Chris - That is what I'm saying. Blue Cheese, ranch, even dill dip can be good. But not sour cream.
this pub is in old ottawa south. old ottawa south is a wonderful part of town and deserves its own recognition!
Anon - Sorry ~ I'm still learning Ottawa, and it is a wonderful part of town that deserves recognition! I have changed that info in the blog. Thanks for the info.
