Grub Crawl - Belle Isle: East Coast Wings and Sharon's

I went to these spots on South Orange on Sunday.

East Coast Wings and Grill - I ordered ten wings to go for $10. I did them a disservice as I left them in their packaging until dinner and they steamed. Even with that and the nuking, they were good. Meaty. They came with celery and carrots. They were fresh. I tried a custom sauce (peppadew ranch), blue cheese and a hot sauce. They were ok. The order came out quick. So quick that I worried that they weren't fresh or cooked long enough. I don't know if they cook to order because of this. The place seats about 60 inside. Mostly booths. And forty on an outside patio. It looks like a converted fast food restaurant. They are a chain from North Carolina. They have booze, beer and wine. They were showing sports on TV. It was pretty empty at noon. They have a full menu.

Sharon's Place - I mostly drove down here to try this home cooking type place that I saw when I was last down here trying the defunct Uncle Henry's. I had eggs benedict with hash browns for $9. They were ok. The hollandaise was a little sweet and vinegary. The browns were a little chewy. They close at 2 or 3pm. They serve a full breakfast and burgers and sammies and specials. Alot of things I saw being served at other tables looked good. The place seats about sixty. It was full. The furniture is a little mix and match. They have some cute multi-panel window or door frames hung on the wall. In each panel is a mason jar filled with dried flowers. They had more than enough wait staff (6) for the room. I didn't have to wait long for my meal. The crowd was a mix of all kinds. They opened six months ago. A fine diner.
