EAT AND DRINK
Bar FoodReaders' Pick: BIG DOG'S CAFE & CASINO6390 W. Sahara Ave.Have a brat, have a beer. Then another beer to make sure that two of Wisconsin's four major food groups - bratwurst, beer, cheese and more cheese - find the proper spot in your belly for maximum health and nutritional value. Or try a clean-tasting walleye pike or rotisserie chicken if the higher-cholesterol bar fare might find some diners ordering a surgical "rib-spreader" on the side, just in case. A blast from the past from the infant days of this contest, the ever-dark and blue-collar-funky Four Kegs bars - the east one at 4972 S. Maryland Parkway and the original that's now FK's West at 276 N. Jones Blvd. - found there are enough fans of their cherished chicken wings to nab second place. Our Pick: O'ACES BAR & GRILL3003 N. Rainbow Blvd.The $7.95 complete New York steak dinner special available weekly in this spacious video poker bar is not the reason we tabbed it the "best" of the year. Instead, it's really about our younger R-J writers on shaky salaries finding price-appropriate chicken wings and tenders, onion rings and burgers at prices that promise a bargain and then deliver. This cuts down requests from our growling cub reporters for info on food stamps or another quick-and-easy loan from our tough-looking loan shark nicknamed "Skim."
