All in all very good - more flavor than bland fried chicken... Best regards, William R. Sanders Social Media Specialist Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide [email protected] |
You have to be an "Old Austin" to recall when KFC and the Colonel came to town, at on end of a cheap hamburger place on North Lamar, 1960 or so, for some reason the name "2J's" comes to mind, but that may be another place all together.
Of course, back then, the "Stallion", had a special, half a BBQed chicken with an overflow of good FFs, $1.00, aided by beer $1.00 a pitcher. Who even noticed the brand? |

Ok - you asked. I don't normally venture out of NW Austin - in fact I think I go by your place when I take the shortcut on the way to the main post office.
Anyhoo, ventured south of the river and found the trailer. I had called ahead for a big order along with their mac and cheese with the truffle oil.

All in all very good - more flavor than bland fried chicken. I had to smile at the earlier post by the TMOliver dude with the limited vocabulary since my mom always used two cast iron frying pans with Crisco, and the kitchen was always a mess on that day and it was a big production and always a big treat. Interesting how we remember those special meals when we were little. One of my first real paying jobs was at Gino Marcheti's Ginos hamburger joint in Timonium. He was one of the first to put in KFC and the Colonel came to visit as part of the training class. We had a colonel clock with his mug on it that had an extra minute hand so we knew when to adjust the pressure cookers. Worked out ok. Thanks for the heads up on this. I'll have to try it out next time I am in Austin on a BBQ/Food Trailer crawl. |
1) Ezell's in Seattle. Oprah used to have it flown in.
2) Loveless Cafe in Nashville. Not the most convenient of places to get to, but it's worth it. They also have 'piggy popcorn' there, popcorn with bacon. |
Would any of these places fit the bill?: https://buildingmybento.wordpress.co...fried-chicken/
Alas, I'll wait until a forum about best fried chicken anywhere is created until I respond... |
Anyone tried Ezell's in Seattle? I love it!
|
definitely Gus' in Memphis. simply amazing!

The Atrium in NY city....:}

We went to the Loveless a few weeks ago, and though the chicken
was nicely done (if you like the thick crusty style), the pieces varied substantially in freshness. Anyhow, I prefer the dredged-with-flour-only KC style as practiced at Stroud's. |
There is a convenience chain in the area "Royal Farm" stores. They put out great fried chicken. Lightly breaded, great crust, juicy. Not really a restaurant, but great for picnics and outings.

Gus'! The only cheap plastic cups my wife allows me to keep in the house....
