Round 1 is an arcade/bowling alley in Northwoods Mall. It’s been in operation for over five years, but it’s shutting down this Sunday.
They do have food in there, so this is my last chance to feature a mall meal from this establishment at Notthwoods Mall. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do!
Off we go to…
The Northwoods Mall!
Hey check out that sign on the outer wall, I wonder if I inspired that!
Okay, in we go and before we get our mall meal, I’m going to do my walk in here. And of course I’ll take a few random photos while I get my exercise in!

Random Photo Number One
Attention Chad Wallace! There’s a new gumball island at the mall! You’ll be counting these in a little over eight months!

Random Photo Number Two
Redundancy alert!
One “huge” will do, thank you very much! You’re just selling merchandise, this isn’t porn!

Random Photos Number Three & Four
I have to tell you, this sign for Maurice’s really bugs me. They need a possessive apostrophe between the final “e” and “s” of the name.
There, I fixed it for you! You’re welcome, Maurice!

Picking Up Our Mall Meal Of The Week!
Okay, my laps are all done and now here we are at Round 1 and there’s the closing sign. It’ll be interesting to see what ends up in here, this was the only place in the mall that sold alcohol! Maybe a bar and restaurant will move in!
Okay, let’s go in and get our mall meal for the week!
We made our way back to the Food & Drinks area and I ordered up our weekly mall meal to go. I’ll show you what I got when we get back to MBIP World Headquarters.
Wow, no alcohol beyond this point. Does that mean I can’t drink tonight?

MBIP World Headquarters
And we’re back at the MBIP World Headquarters with our Last Supper from Round 1.
I got an order of Shake It! Fries. Basically they take French fries and shake them up with seasoning on them. Not really a novel idea, but what the hell, when in Rome, shake it up! I got Cajun seasoning on mine.
It says to tear the bag there and I did, but it would be nice if it was perforated! Kind of makes for a sloppy looking bag after you tear it.
The fries weren’t bad, the seasoning was fairly tasty and now let’s move on to…
Our main course, chicken wings! And look, there’s a tub of Honey Mustard sauce. That comes with the fries and I thought they forgot to include it.
The fries are even better with the honey mustard sauce! Glad I stumbled upon that!
The chicken wings were okay, but a little on the bland side. I got Buffalo style but there wasn’t a lot of Buffalo flavor or spiciness. Not horrible, but not great either.
One thing is for sure though…once I finished those wings…
It was my Last Supper from Round 1!
Kind of sad, but we can’t wallow in our tears, we need to rate this week’s mall meal!
——
The fries were pretty good and the wings were just kind of average, so I’ll give it a rating of two and a quarter Stacy Hamilton’s.
If you want to go and say goodbye to Round 1, you’ve got till 10pm, this Sunday night! The clock is ticking!
