#28: Wish-Bone Rotisserie

Date Visited: 18 October 2008

Meal: Dinner

Diners: 2 - Me & Wendy

Experience: Wish-Bone Rotisserie is a relatively new addition to Leesburg. It's located on the southwest corner of the intersection of King Street and Catoctin Circle, around the corner from 7-Eleven. It's also a location that has seen a lot of restaurant turnover throughout the years we've lived here. Wishbone is a small establishment featuring chicken and other items with a Peruvian twist. It was obvious as soon as we entered that this is a place that local latin americans love, which to me meant it must be good and authentic!

I got a 20-piece order of wings, medium hot, which was fairly hot for me, but good. I also got a side of onion rings, which were done just right. Wendy got a quarter rotisserie chicken with salad and corn-on-the-cob sides. She liked it, but I was too stuffed to try any of it.

Wish-Bone doesn't have their own web site, but I found this description on dc.metromix.com:

"Savor the smoky flavor of flame-broiled charcoal chicken and other Peruvian specialties at the Wishbone Rotisserie, a humble fast-food style eatery located in Leesburg. Have your chicken and ceviche with a side of plantains, corn on the cob or crispy yucca. Surprisingly, there are also some not-so-Peruvian items on the menu, like the falafel wrap and bacon cheeseburger – perfect for the non-adventurous or ruefully picky."

That pretty much sums it up. The staff is very friendly, the prices are low, and the food is great.

When you visit, be sure to check out this painting that hangs inside the entry.
