Turkey Joe's at former Wings-N-Things location

I noticed some activity in the space that formerly housed Wings-N-Things on Westport and Hurstbourne, so I drove past it and saw that something called Turkey Joe's is moving in. From what I could see, the interior didn't look much different than it did before. They have a 'Now Hiring' sign posted in the front window, but I didn't see anything indicating when they might open.

Anybody know anything about Turkey Joe's? I assume it's a chain, but I'm not sure.

a quick Google check shows that http://www.turkeyjoes.com has only a shell page currently; it mentions 'wings,burgers, &more'...

I miss W&T...

New one on me! Googling Turkey Joe's and Turkey Joe doesn't bring up any indicatin that it's a chain, although there's a Turkey Joe's in St. John's, Newfoundland that appears to be a local independent.

Anybody who's out that way regularly, here's a chance to do some scouting!

I miss it too, and the nice guy who ran it (UPS pilot) really seemed to care about his work.

Brian, how'd you Google that up? I searched on "Turkey Joe" and "Turkey Joe's" (with the quotes) and didn't come up with that on the first page on either search.

I googled Turkey Joe's and it was the 4th item down on the first page. And I know I've seen that same font somewhere around the Ville, but I can't place it.

Hmm, it's No. 12 on the list for me, now that I look farther down. That's googling "Turkey Joe's" with the quotes. Odd.

Here's an excerpt the public whois record for the domain. Any restaurant-biz folks recognize the name?

I don't use qoutes when googling. I found the best way to google is to pose the question the same way you would ask someone in person.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I tend to use them when one of the search terms is otherwise a very common word, like, well, "turkey" or "joe".

The question form is a good approach, too, but I'm more inclined to use it when I don't have a more concise term for a search.

Thanks to Paul Smith at <i>Food & Dining</i> for picking up the rest of the story:

Chef/co owner Chuck Starcher said they are opening Feb 1. They are an independent restaurant. He was a sous chef at Napa. He said they are doing burgers, wings, etc. They have a burger called the "Burger to Die for." They will be open until 2am on Fri and Sat

Great, glad to hear a local is going in there! The 2am closing is pretty cool too.

I'll be glad to see another alternative to B-Dubs.

I hope they get some good beer!!

This place is going to be a "BIG" hit in this area. I have met the owners and chefs and what a menu they have put together.They are kicking pub grubb up a few notches. I told them about this site and I am sure they will share with you their menu soon. I can't wait to go watch some afternoon basketball games and enjoy some COLD Brew and great food there.

It seems as though more and more places are come to the purlieus and I love it. I'll do some research and add to this post later, but I am sure the area where I live is the next indie dining area of the Ville.

Hi my name is Chef Chuck owner operater of Turkey Joe's. We will be opening on 2-1-08 just in time for the big game. If you would like a menu e-mail me at chuck@turkeyjoes.com
