I'd have to agree, the wings we had with our martini at the Steak and Lube were excellent. Next time I'll stick with beer.

What about Temple Bar on Lafayette in Noho?

Quaker Steak and Lube's wings ain't bad though.

Agreed, vodka martini is an oxymoron. And how about an honorable mention for the aptly named pantheon to all things straight-up: Temple Bar.

Hey, Tamara, no need to diss the 'Burgh because the Steak and Lube is a chain. Boring! You'll find super martinis at the aptly named "Olive or Twist" in downtown Pittsburgh, though...

Ha -- while I prefer gin, I think Tamara's response to the earlier comments was the funniest thing I've heard in a while...order whatever the hell you want, it's not like most of us will be frequenting the Carlyle anyway...

Q:What do breasts and martinis have in common? A:One isn't enough and three is too many. My grandmother told me that joke. God bless her and her liver.

Tamara, no need to get so snippy. Just disagreeing with your choice of tipple. In fact, now that you mention it, vodka might be good for a Roman or Aztec-style alcohol enema. On to some investigative reporting.

Slurp - it must be difficult for you to drink with your head that far up your ass.

"Vodka martini"? Jesus. There's no such thing. Those with taste buds drink gin.

A martini is made with gin.

Gin martini is redundant. All martinis are made with gin, other drinks, served in a martini glass are not martinis. Serving Coke in a wine glass does not make it wine.
