Talk about burying the lede. It\u2019s definitely not what I expected from a restaurant whose name begins with Woody\u2019s Wings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">I made my way over to Woody\u2019s\u2019 Westminster strip-mall home and was greeted with a binder \u2014 the restaurant\u2019s 32-page menu. Yes, Woody\u2019s has more menu pages than Baskin Robbins has flavors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">With so many options, deciding what to order is overwhelming, but the servers are very skilled at helping less-experienced folks like myself navigate the menu. (Of course, you can also borrow my no-fail ordering technique: over-order so you can try multiple things and then make yourself sick finishing four entrees. Works like a charm.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">My favorite dish \u2014 the one I continue to salivate over and dream about \u2014 is the Basil Duck. The sauce, oh my goodness, the sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">Spicy, rich, layered and, yes, basil-y, I\u2019d probably eat a shoe covered in that sauce. But I didn\u2019t have to eat a shoe, because there was so much duck dressed in that ravishing sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">About that duck: As is the case in any legit Asian cooking, some bones are left in. This makes it a bit cumbersome to eat, but it\u2019s worth the extra effort for the added flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">In fact, the basil duck and the restaurant as a whole are both metaphors for life, right? The best rewards take work, and things aren\u2019t always as they seem. Thanks for the life lessons, Woody\u2019s. And the basil duck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">Basil Duck at Woody\u2019s Wings N Things (Price?
