Among so many others, some of the most noticeable penguins in their collection are the seven- foot statues that the Knights dress up and march in such events as the Mardi Gras Parade. Each location is unique, with a different atmosphere and different menu items. The East Avenue Penguin Ed's B&B location has a deep fryer to provide you with the classics like onion rings and fried pickles, and such unique treats as Betty's homemade fried pies; but all three locations create more than just barbecue. Each location offers baked goods, including Audrey's Cookies, baked in-house at Ed's B&B and delivered daily to the other two locations. You can get so much more than barbecue from Penguin Ed's. They make praise-worthy burgers, wings, salads and breakfasts. Ed's own personal favorite item on the menu: the Mushroom Swiss Burger, made with fresh beef patties seasoned and formed in-house daily. His second favorite is the half-chicken with baked beans and home-fried potatoes, because it isn't easy to pick just one favorite. Breakfast is available weekends from 7 a.m. to noon at the Mission location, and they have a full breakfast menu complete with pastries from their bakery. They serve French toast, pancakes, bacon, eggs, specialty omelets, biscuits with sausage gravy, and they even have a little something for the kids. Check out the weekly specials for each location by visiting penguineds.com/ specials. For a more personal and in-depth look at what makes Penguin Ed's so special, stop by their original brick-and- mortar Bar-B-Que on Mission Boulevard and you'll find a large photo album filled with pictures and stories that document the march of the Penguin. Don't forget to stop by your local Penguin Ed's on December 8th between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. to celebrate 25 years; enjoy throwback pricing and a slice of cake, and maybe even win a prize or two.
