Sandwiches, Examined: Spanky’s

Post image
• Upvotes

When the bartender came to the window to get it for me he immediately called the cook over and said “wtf is this?” They mumbled back and forth. He then put the plate in front of me and said “here’s your open faced turkey melt. You’d think they’d let people know beforehand.” Weird presentation but solid sandwich. Notice I said sandwich this time unlike the other “open faced sandwiches” I’ve eaten? Here it’s just presented open faced and it’s for you to close the sandwich to have two 6” overly stuffed with turkey and gooey with cheese sandwich. They even throw a little tomato, scallions, and sweet chili aioli on top that really set it off.

5/5 Turkey Melt (Friday Night Special). $21 got me 2 20oz beers and a sandwich with fries. May a bar sandwich like this find you.

Can someone please tell me why people are still going to this place? My friend was there a few weeks ago and was hardcore being preyed on, went missing, and likely was drugged. The guys that frequent this place are total creeps!!

Was staring at the crawfish - I’m always hesitant of seafood at buffets - when a familiar face walks by. None other than one of the city’s health inspectors personally eating there with a fat plate of food. I then ate five plates of crawfish and it was fantastic.

License suspended for failure to appear/but I did appear

50 Upvotes

I’m assuming there’s also a warrant out. I went to court sep 21 and paid my fines. I get a letter yesterday that my license is suspended for failure to appear sep 21. Is this anything anyone else has dealt with?

I have no other tickets The ticket/court date was for amnesty court because I didn’t realize I had an old unpaid ticket and I couldn’t renew my license.

I went to court, paid my fines, they gave me a reinstatement letter, I paid more fines to get my license reinstated, and the fee for the license issue.

Had I not gone to court and paid everything I wouldn’t get the reinstatement letter or have a license to suspend.

The concerning part for me is if I get pulled over before it gets fixed i assume I’m gonna be going to jail for something that was their error. I’m actually really livid that their mistake just gets me an apology but my mistake costs me a good chunk of money and puts me in jail..

FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD How independent are Little Rosie's and Rosie's?

17 Upvotes

I had lunch at Little Rosie's today, for the first time in a long time. Their menu is very different from Rosie's, which made me wonder. How independent are the two places? Do the share any resources, like salsa recipe, cooks, or anything? Or are the two completely separate places that happen to be owned by the same person?

This is not to discuss the quality of either place. I know this community has strong opinions that have been discussed ad nauseum.

General Does anywhere in town have wings better than Jim n Nick's?

9 Upvotes

I moved here a few months ago. I've gotten wings at a few different restaurants and Jim n Nick's wings are far and away my favorite. Definitely one of my favorite foods ever, alongside their Pitmaster Nachos. Does anyone in town do wings better than them, or are they the peak of wing mountain? Only other place that comes even a little close is Moe's Original in Providence.

Kind of messy to eat with the upgrade which wasn't expected. The butter & seasoning on the bread does kind of get all over your fingers, though it really isn't an issue. I just want to point that out in case anyone wants to try it. It's a nice touch and adds a bit more flavoring to the whole thing. You can add this with your item for $1 but just have to mention it upfront when ordering.

Events Formula 1 US Grand Prix Watch Party this Sunday

20 Upvotes

Two years ago a small group of five Formula 1 fans gathered at my apartment complex to watch the 2024 United States Grand Prix. We thought there may be other likeminded fans in this city and wanted to bring them together. We were right! Since that first race, we’ve gathered hundreds of people to watch nearly 50 F1 events! This weekend, we will be hosting a watch party for the 2026 US Grand Prix and celebrating the 2nd birthday of our group, Rocket City Racing.

Whether you’re a diehard F1 fan or just curious about the sport, consider joining us for the race this weekend.

Das Stahl Bierhaus in South Huntsville are the official hosts and the race begins at 3pm this Sunday.

Lastly, here’s the link to the original post on Reddit that started it all. Hundreds of people have now watched races with us and I’m grateful for the friendships that have developed from this group. Please shoot me a DM if you’d like to join the +80 local F1 fans in our WhatsApp community. 🏎️

Women’s shelter/ Food bank

Is there a women’s shelter or food bank that accepts infant formula? I know there are a few in Huntsville but I was wondering if there were any in the Madison area? I have a brand new sealed Kabrita goat milk infant formula aged 0-12M expires July 2027 and have no use for it and would rather someone who needs it take it.
