Wings in South Florida

There is never enough team spirit at Duffy's Sports Grill. Football helmets line the aisles, and the giant bar area boasts 13 huge projector screens that play every game and sport imaginable. If that's not sports overload, young women in jerseys offer enthusiastic "how are yas?" at every corner while they walk past restaurant-area walls littered with photos of athletic icons such as Jack Nicklaus, Lance Armstrong, and Mickey Mantle. Regulars readily offer up that it's the best happy hour in town, with two-for-one on everything from 4 p.m. to close everyday.

Home of the double entendre, the Hooters chain has become an American icon over the course of its short life. Founded in Florida during the glorious 1980s, the company with a hooting owl for a logo boasts its own magazine, a hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, and famous alumni like Hugh Hefner's former girlfriend Holly Madison. The Hooters girls at each of the 450 locations are the heart and soul (or is it the "T and A"?) of the company; from the American Midwest to the Czech Republic to Tokyo, every girl sports the same bright orange short-shorts, flesh-colored pantyhose and white sneakers. Perhaps it could be the food that keeps loyal Miami customers coming back. The menu focuses on chicken wings, with sauces ranging from mild to atomic, but there are also seasoned curly fries, shrimp, oysters, crab legs, burgers, and sandwiches, along with plenty of televisions tuned to whatever's going on in the sports world. Check out your local Hooters on Voice Places.

Quickie's, an old-time drive-through with locations in Pembroke Pines and Hollywood, has a unique approach to burger making. All of its one-third or half-pound patties are cooked over hickory to give them a smoky, wood-fired flavor. Those juicy burgers are then topped with onions crisps and Quickie's own special sauce, a spicy mayo-based sauce with plenty of tang. The burgers aren't the only good thing there either. Quickie's wings are fresh and perfectly cooked with an assortment of homespun sauces like vinegary golden BBQ. And even though it's essentially fast food, everything from the crunchy fries with seasoned salt to the mahi-mahi sandwiches are made in house daily. The staff is friendly and both restaurants are done up in green and blue to resemble a classic burger joint. For the truly brave, Quickie's even serves what it calls the Mother of All Burgers. It's a pound of beef with the cheese cooked inside the meat, topped with Quickie's sauce, onions, and French fries. Good luck with that.
