If you've ever been to the Golden Nugget, you know why this is so troublesome. There's little information right now, but the blaze began at 5 a.m. this morning and took firefighters an hour to control. There were no reports of injuries and no cause of the fire has been stated.
If you're confused why a fire at this country dive bar makes me weep, it's because I frickin' love line dancing, okay? Alright, not really, I hate that shit. But The Nugget, in my expert opinion, is THE best place in South Jersey to get wings. They're delicious to a degree you can't even wrap your feeble mindgrapes around. All you can eat wing nights? I drown my breakfast in that sauce.
I know what you're saying, "Two food related posts in a row?" Yeah, there are. You got beef? I hear food posts come in threes, so you better watch your back. Anyway, here's hoping the Golden Nugget gets back up and running soon and doesn't displace hoards of wing eaters and all of South Jersey's over 40 crowd.
I have spend the last 4 years here, I am 24 and love coming here with my family. While its hard getting my friends to come to a place like this, my boyfriend and I frequent it and I have spent many nights dancing, drinking and eating my face off. I was in the parking lot last night, waiting for my boyfriend...he was asleep so I left, weird waking up hearing the news. I hope we get more information on what happened and what future plans are and soon!!
ReplyDeleteArson..The In High Gear band lost all their equipment too.
ReplyDeletethere have been NO reports of Arson!!! Preliminary reports are an accidentlal fire started in the kitchen. And while a band did lose their stuff, there is already help and other things in the works to help them recoup.
ReplyDeleteI have gone to the 'Nugget' For many yrs.[3 generations']and found it sad to see the fire news.Undoubtedly had the best wings on the east coast of the continental USA!!!Just last month picked up a 6o order for an evening get together.Soon as people in the know tasted them they said, "you drove all the way out there for wings?" I said whats a 1/2hr. ride each way for good wings? I SURE hope they rebuild.
