They've been a favorite of mine for years too, but mostly the tips and the middle section. Years ago, I used to go to this happy hour that had free chicken wings, and $1.25 glasses of Michelob. I'd drink about 5-7 beers, and eat lots of wings. Most other folks preferred the drummies, so there were always plenty of the middle sections. They also had cheese (I'm pretty sure Monterrey Jack) and crackers, and sometimes mini meatballs in BBQ sauce.. $10-$12 with a good tip, and I'd leave full and nicely buzzed. $10 then would be like $20 now, but I often didn't eat anything from one happy hour to the next day's happy hour.
