Being a date night, A picked me up from work and asked if I wanted to go to Eastwood for dinner. Remembering that the place was on sale, I figured it might be a good idea to check out some items. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything I like enough to purchase. So, we just decided to have dinner. Not knowing what to try out despite the presence of a number of restaurants that we haven't tried out yet, we found Chuck's Deli right past Mr. Kurosawa.
There wasn't much customers when we were peering through their window except for this other couple on a date. Usually not a good sign for a food joint, but we went right in to find out what's in store for us.
Now, the first thing that I noticed was this sign on their wall about a food challenge. Eating "The Buffy" (buffalo chicken wings on a bun) in under 5 minutes. For those who've been watching Man vs. Food and would like to try their hand at it, this is the place to be. I had a feeling A wanted me to take on the challenge considering he sees my skills as carnival-material. I had to beg off as I was full from nibbling too much at the office earlier. But, we did try The Buffy and Faking Duck.

Faking Duck (roasted pork, not duck, in hoisin sauce)
The Buffy (buffalo chicken with garlic sauce)
Garlic Sauce and Chuck's Sauce (garlic sauce with hot sauce)
We ordered just half a slab since we just wanted to try out the food. As expected, I found the serving small when it was presented to us. Looks appetizing though. Next thing I know, we found it difficult to finish our order because it was heavy. We had to take home half of the Buffy.
The verdict (price vs. serving and taste) is that this is a place that we'll definitely be going back to! It would take us a while to try out everything on the menu though. Maybe, just maybe, one of these days, I might take on their 5-minute challenge =)
