Finger lickin’ fried chicken, yee-haw!
Fried chicken is a staple food in the southern US and for good reason. When done well, it can be mouthwatering and absolutely addicting. Y’all can find some great fried chicken at Restoration in Central, a restaurant known for its soul food and New Orleans-style cooking. The fried chicken is crispy with the perfect amount of seasoning. On Tuesdays, enjoy the “All You Can Eat" special ($238) which includes the soup of the day and all the fried chicken you can stomach. End your fried-chicken feast with a classic American treat; their tasty pecan pie.
Also check out Green Waffle Diner, which serves up a classic chicken-and-waffles meal. To the uninitiated, this perfect combo of sweet and savory is surprisingly tasty—it's an American fave for a reason. If you’re looking for a classier setting to feast on some authentic fried chicken try LKF's Lily & Bloom. The up-scale fried chicken is a customer favorite and even better when you can wash it all down with a signature punchy cocktail.
