Fink's Funky Chicken & Ribs

[finker99]

Hi All,

Fink here, the Souther Pride smoker that I have I got on EBay from a restaurant supply house in Florida. When I called the manufacturer for parts info I found that it had been originally sold to a Winn Dixie in down there in 1982 or so. It is model # UXR 100 It is a Beast, it leaks smoke, makes the place hot, boy does it make the food taste good. We use cherry wood that I get from a vegetarian tree guy who keeps it stocked for a portobello sandwich and a rocky road mud tart. I have a link to Southern Pride on the restaurant website; finksfunky.net

Thanks for coming everybody, look for us at the classic carshow next sunday in River Edge Memorial Park,it is a fundraiser for the River Edge Cultural Center

PS

AC is in the works, we will probably begin installation in the next week or two

Hey Fink... Question: Why did you guys choose Finksfunky.net instead of .com? I checked, expecting some weird porn site or something (you should check out what you get if you go to fat-guy's site forgetting the hyphen), but it appears to be unregistered. You should probably register it (finksfunky.com) before some porn site does claim it.

Hey Fink... Question: Why did you guys choose Finksfunky.net instead of .com?

i checked on register.com, and it sure looks open.

register.com must use some sort of thesaurus to suggest other options. some that it gave were:

Finksfoul

Finkssmelly

finksfetid

sneakfunky

however, i wouldn't recommend naming your restaurant or website any of these.

[Rail Paul]

Many of the early (dot) com website names were registered for two or three years, often by speculators and squatters.

As the bloom comes off the internet rose, many are not being renewed, and open up again. There's also a "(dot) US" suffix just out of sunrise status which may be of interest

the baked beans were some of the best i've ever had.

That was my impression when I went las t week. My only visit so far, but between a good steak and those beans I'm promising myself a return.

[tommy]

i don't know if i asked, but i guess you can bring beer, no?

[jhlurie]

Was at Fink's last night and had something new... extremely spicy red onions on my hamburger. It's a good thing. Try it.

I suppose I have to live with the shame of only eating a half pound burger. With two sides and a mountain of onions.

You can bring wine or beer to any restaurant that doesn't have a liquor license.

[Rachel Perlow]

Unless the place specifically requests that you don't. I know of one such place that asks you not to bring liquor due to the religious practices of the owners.

[Nockerl]

Dined at Fink's a couple of times last week on those brutally hot days. SOmething about the heat completed the experience by making it seem like I was at some roadside smoke pit in Texas. Granted Fink's has nicer decor and I would have loved a/c but the heat added a certain atmosperic grit. And it didn't hurt that the pulled pork was so dang tasty. The brisket was also quite good. Love that cherry wood smoke. The seasoned fries were a bit heavy on the paprika, though.

The screamin' chicken sauce was nice on the pulled chicken.

I'm looking forward to many return visits. Too bad the kitchen is so darned big that they can't add any tables.

[Rachel Perlow]

I suppose I could wait for Fink to explain this, but the reason they can't have any tables has to do with parking spaces. I recall (please feel free to correct me if I have my figures incorrect) Fink telling us that he is only allowed 2.5 seats per space (town ordinances) which yielded 10 seats. They decided to concentrate on carry-out and put in a counter to accomodate those that wanted to eat their take-out, in.

[Nockerl]

Jason, i believe you are right. I know that Englewood has a similar ordinance. Frustrating thing for restaurant owners but Fink's got a good niche carved out for himself.

[Nockerl]

Sorry, I looked at the Perlow and not the initial. I should have written:

THANKS RACHEL

Whew!! It must be VERY hot in your kitchen. How much water do you drink to avoid becoming dehydrated?

the kids i saw working there the other day rarely went without a bottle in their hand the entire 30 minutes i was there.

[Rosie]

With that type of heat you need to start hydrating yourself before you go to work.
