Eating Americana – Peachtree Corners, GA
The chicken was excellent, juicy and piping hot, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. The skin was crisp and the seasoning on the chicken was deceptively simple and represents chef James Chien’s love affair with American comfort food. In a great review in Eater Atlanta, Lia Picard’s tells chef’s story, so I’d refer you […]
Dicky Doo’s Diner – Lawrenceville, GA
Like many lunches, today’s journey began with a quick Google search. I put in “barbecue restaurants near me” and perused the results. Forgetting that my company is in Duluth, I found that eight of the first nine entries were Korean barbecue – not exactly what I had in mind. The one that was not, was […]
The Bando – Atlanta, GA
For the last several months, one of my co-workers has asked, “Have you been to the Bando, yet?” And, every time she does, I remember reading about them on a list of “best wings in the ATL” and having to reply, “not yet.” But today was THE day. We had been up in Cumming early […]
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 […]
Parkette Drive-In – Lexington, KY (Photo Blog Post)
As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog.
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, […]
