K Hall and Sons Produce – Little Rock, AR
Continuing westward from Memphis, we got into North Little Rock, a little early for dinner, but definitely at a good time for a solid snack. We were led to K Hall and Sons Produce, a small family-owned grocery store, by the Garden n Gun “Fried Chicken Bucket List”, so I knew why I was there. […]
Price’s Chicken Coop – Charlotte, NC
Before heading back home from a business trip to Charlotte, I had questioned a couple of the local attendees at the meetings about Charlotte institutions that we might not know about. One of them mentioned Price’s Chicken Coop, which has been serving up hot, fresh fried chicken since 1962. They were already on my radar […]
Bully’s Restaurant – Jackson, MS
Heading home from Memphis, we were over-nighting in Jackson, Mississippi, before heading home. We had been to a couple of junk and antique stores when lunch rolled around. I knew that I wanted fried chicken for lunch, so while we shopped I asked several folks where the “best” fried chicken was in Jackson. I got […]
The Porch – St Simons Island, GA
We’ve been going to Saint Simon’s Island since our kids were small. Now that they’re adults, with families of their own, we’ve started going back – renting a house for Labor Day weekend. One of the big questions is always, “what are we going to do for dinner?” There are a couple of regular haunts, […]
Hattie B’s – Atlanta, GA
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that I love hot chicken. If you haven’t – I do love hot chicken. We’ve been (not so) patiently waiting for Hattie B’s to open for months – along, apparently, with a lot of other Atlantans. Earlier this month, the wait ended. In fact, […]
Mary Hoopa’s House of Fried Chicken and Oysters – Atlanta, GA
I’ve been thinking about Mary Hoopa’s House of Fried Chicken & Oysters, for about three months. Maybe longer. I knew it was coming, as I’m a fan of Chef Robert Phalen and his One Eared Stag, and, some time last year, I heard that he was opening a fried chicken place, serving his “once-a-week” fried […]
K & K Soul Food – Atlanta, GA
Today’s lunch is at another spot sent to me from the pages of Garden N Gun – K&K Soul Food. (It’s like these pages speak to me – “if we fry it, you will come.”) K & K has been in business for fifty years, and I’ve been seeing it on one version of my […]
OJ’s Diner – Greenville, SC
Yet another tip from the Garden n Gun Fried Chicken Bucket List, OJ’s Diner was noted for fried chicken that’s “moist, with super crispy skin.” Those four words were enough to draw me in. As we were heading south through South Carolina, a lunch stop in Greenville seemed in order. This is an old-school cafeteria […]
LT’s Wings & Other Things – Atlanta, GA
Another find from Garden & Gun’s Fried Chicken Bucket List, LT’s Wings and Other Things was hailed as staying “busy, with lines out the door.” We arrived around 6:00 on a Saturday and seemed to hit at a good time – there was only one person waiting for food and a couple who came in […]
