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
THIS RESTAURANT HAS CLOSED 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 […]
John’s Fine Food – Jonesboro, GA
For a (of recently) rare Saturday of roaming the city, we were heading to the Scott’s Antique Market. The State DOT wasn’t cooperating, however, as the exits to both Jonesboro Rd and Moreland Ave, east–bound on 285, were closed with roadwork. We had to sneak up on it, and found several spots to stop, along […]
Blakely Chicken – Blakely, GA
This story is probably best told as the fried-chicken-that-almost-got-away. Camping over in Eufala, we were as close as we were going to be, in the forseeable future, to Blakely Chicken – within an hour’s drive. It had hit my radar in an article in Garden n Gun with this quote from Linton Hopkins: “If […]
Martin’s Restaurant – Montgomery, AL
While hanging out for the weekend in metro Montgomery, one of the places I had planned to go to was Martin’s Restaurant. We had missed the chance when we were here last fall, and I intended not to do so again. They hit the radar originally with a list of 100 things to eat in […]
Big Chick – Washington, GA
Roaming the wilds of east Georgia, we’d been going from small town to smaller town, working our way through antique, thrift and junk stores. Our lunch destination was the metropolis of Washington. Georgia. We were heading to the Big Chick – a takeaway fried chicken place, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner since 1980, that I […]
Chicken Delite – Ocilla, GA (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.
Mia’s Bar & Grill and Cafe Wing Max – Hiram, GA
On a Sunday evening, I was looking for dinner near the house and thought that I might try something new. I had seen several folks talking about places for wings in Hiram or Dallas, on “the Facebook”, and (I vaguely remember) several folks talked about Cafe Wing Max, in the Academy Sports shopping center. This […]
Weaver D’s Delicious Fine Foods – Athens, GA
Standing in the doorway, looking both at the sign on the sidewalk that said open 11-6 on Saturday and the closed sign in the window, I’m sure I looked like a dog that had just heard a high pitched noise. Since “the game was out of town and he had to cook for a funeral”, […]
Prince’s Hot Chicken South – Nashville, TN
No trip to Nashville, for me, is complete without some hot chicken. We had driven up for the day for the flea market and some roaming around and were getting ready to head back home, as dinner time approached. Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack is the pinnacle for me and we’ve been to the original (Ewing […]
