(Regular Guy Grub, by Buddy Hurlock) Most bars that serve buffalo wings also have a "wing night," and if you are a fan of both wings and poker, then Timothy's of Newark is the place for you each Tuesday night.
A normal order of 12 is $7.99, but the special each Tuesday night is 35 cents per wing. I ordered them hot, which isn't at the top of their hot-sauce scale, but plenty hot enough. None of pieces were skimpy on the meat and I liked the equal distribution of drums and wings. The wing night promotion is so popular, they've stopped taking "all drum" requests, so do them a favor and don't ask (as for me, I like the wing pieces better).
Also, each Tuesday and Thursday night here, free poker is held in the upstairs bar, courtesy Texas Hold'em Rental. It's a fun group of players, usually filling 6-8 tables, and plenty of them take a serious approach to the game, honing their skills or just enjoying a live game without having to drive to Atlantic City. Don't forget to order food, because it gets you extra playing chips, with the order usually having to be placed by 7:30 p.m. Registration closes around 8 p.m., though they'll find you a seat if you show up a little late, and the cards are often in the air by 8:15. Prizes vary.
Timothy's of Newark (738-9915) is just off Paper Mill Road at 100 Creek View Rd., also accessible by using Margaret St. off E. Cleveland Ave. For more information about the poker host, and its nightly of schedule of tournaments throughout the area, go to www.texasholdemrental.com.
In other quick asides, the mozzarella sticks at C.R. Hooligan's in Trolley Square are pretty tasty, served inside a tray made to look like a hollowed-out, large beer bottle, a nice touch, and in a trip to Deerhead Hot Dogs in Christiana last week, the plain Herr's corn chips were back. I snared four bags, which lasted less than 24 hours.

well I went to deerhead to try your chips. I must say..they are quite bland. I like Frito lay better. Also, side note. Tried Deer had hotdogs. Doghouse AND Five guys makes a better dog. And I did not try the sauce because
I did not want to be tied up in the bathroom all night..lol
Dog House, I can believe you. But Five Guys better than Deerhead? I tried a hot dog from there when they first came to northern Delaware, and was unimpressed.
Now, I should say, I'm not a fan of "jumbo" or "plump" hot dogs, and grilling hot dogs on the barbeque is not my favorite way to have them prepared.
But, since you went out to try my corn chips, I'll head out to a Five Guys in the near future and give their hot dog another chance.
Ever get a hot dog from Charcoal Pit? I rank those among the best around, but a slight notch below Dog House and Deerhead. I really like the spicy mustard the Pit uses, usually only available at its Concord Pike location. If I had to guess, it's the Cleveland-based Stadium Mustard, but I've never confirmed this.
With your moz sticks, have you had the ones at Duffers (202 and Rt 1)? They are rolled in pretzel. So yummy!
You got pretzel on my mozzarella sticks?
You got mozzarella sticks on my pretzel?
Hmm, I'll have to try these. Thanks for the tip.
Watched the travel channel and ordered the same toppings as a
Chicago style dog.
Though not exact. I requested
pickles, tomato, onion, mustard. Poopyseed rolls not available..lol
I am not saying deerhead was bad.
But I expected the dog bigger and
not on a what looks like a dinner roll from the grocery store.
gotta love 5 guys burgers. And also, Buddy I tried pizza from Tony's cafe off of papermill road everyone was commenting about in your pizza section. I was really impressed. To me it ranks up there one of the best in NCCo
