65. The Sinking of the Bisquick

[CanuckAmok]

71. LOL!!

Best. Pun. Ever.

[neuvocat]

2. Just Rite Chicken in Leesville, Louisiana.

That town has everything else wrong with it but you have to give credit where credit is due.

[Swede]

3. KFC is still the best.

nt

[okieinpain]

7. are you crazy. the best chicken comes from my kitchen baby.

[Swede]

9. Well,I do live a 1000 miles away from you.

But,I will take your word on it.

[okieinpain]

15. oh yeah baby, I can frie it, grill it, and bake it. and the people love it

I guess you could call it clinton chicken. oh yeah baby it's that good. hell i supprise myself sometimes.

[Floogeldy]

13. God help us

KFC is SHIT.

}(

[Swede]

19. Actually it's fried chicken.

Good fried chicken.

[foo_bar]

it's a little heavy on the monosodium glutamate

It tastes good, but does that mean it is good?

20. My Mom was born in Oklahoma, and she fried the best chicken...

I ever ate. She learned from her Mom. Grampaw insisted on eating fried chicken or fried pork chops every morning of the world. She cooked like she was still cooking for the crop picking crews all their lives.

[okieinpain]

25. I hear you. I'm going to cut you some slack and make my chicken

second best. but it's a damn good second baby.

[BikeWriter]

28. Okies do make danged fine cooks, that's for sure. :-)

[okieinpain]

34. thank ya kindly for that. one might have taken that for a insult

but seeing how in the bush economy cook is going to be one of the few jobs left. I'll take it as a compliment.

[BikeWriter]

38. Considering I have taken pride for years in my cooking...

it was meant as a compliment. I am the only Texan I know who has "exported" tons of boudain to Louisiana for sale.

[Floogeldy]

26. Cousin!

Heh. ;)

B-)

[BikeWriter]

29. We may be, Pard. My folks all had some mighty big families. :-)

[ashling]

37. OK lets get this straight right now

Fried chicken IS a breakfast food.

Thank you for your comment.

Years ago, just how many years is not exactly relavent but it is more than a lot of DUers have been around, my third grade teacher asked us to name some breakfast foods. Most kids said things like bacon, eggs, toast, etc.

Having just that morning had the normal breakfst we had when all my mom's folks came - a huge spread - of eggs, bacon, pork chops, fried chicken and gravy, I responded "fried chicken."

I promptly had my hand slapped with a ruler.

I was too embarrassed to mention it to her then, but years later when I told me mother she said she would have given that teacher a piece of her mind. She was a pistol!

BTW I'm from North Texas (God's side of the red river) but thereare a lot of good folks in Sooner country too.:evilgrin:

[BikeWriter]

39. My Mom's Dad and his folks back many years were from North Texas...

then on back to Kentucky and Tennessee. There were three Brothers and their Father who rode with the Texas Confederate Cavalry. They were in Delta County at that time.

[ashling]

42. My grandmother's younger sister

lived in Walters, OK, across the river from us in Henrietta, TX (where I was born)

My dad's family moved to Texas from Georgia after the Civil War. My mom's family was from Mississippi.

My dad's mother used to cook for the threshing crews in Bluff Dale TX.

[BikeWriter]

44. My folks plowed and picked crops all over that end of Texas...

Oklahoma and Arkansas. That was an honorable profession, but I'm glad I didn't have to do it.

[Left Is Write]

54. You got your hand slapped with a ruler?

For saying fried chicken is a breakfast food? That teacher sounds like a very rigid thinker. ANYTHING is a breakfast food. Any food you eat for breakfast counts as a breakfast food. I never did understand the strict idea of certain foods only being for breakfast, certain foods for lunch, and certain foods for supper.

[redqueen]

56. I like the way KFC tastes, but I won't buy there.

Not until they change the suppliers to ones that don't fucking torture the livestock. I don't want any part of that shit... no way.

Besides, everyone knows Popeye's is the best. :)

[SnohoDem]

4. Ezell's. White. Spicy.

From up the street. Everything else is secondary.

[asthmaticeog]

5. I'm reminded of a DU fried chicken classic:

[Left Is Write]

8. Well, okay then!

Yikes! I hope my little poll doesn't spark a fried chicken flamefest.

[Modem Butterfly]

41. That thread proves DUers will argue over anything

46. Perfect example!

[supernova]

68. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

:rolf:

Nothing quite like a Zomby/Slink slugfest. :D

[foo_bar]

22. heh, poor slinkerwink

I guess everyone was still a little raw from GD: Primary.

[redqueen]

58. Nah, some people just can't resist an opportunity to be rude and nasty.

Primary season or not.

:hi:

[foo_bar]

62. right back atcha

:hi:

P.S. I'm sorry I ragged on Dennis that time during the primaries. We need about a billion more like him.

[redqueen]

63. Well thanks!

No hard feelings...

:pals:

Just reading through that old thread... can't help but wonder what's wrong with some people. Nasty, nasty, nasty...

*shakes head*

[Lannes]

6. Stroud's

Kansas City Mo.

[enigami]

32. Strouds is Great

KT Fryers in Overland Park is even better

[Wapsie B]

10. What?

No baked beans?

;-)

I'm still in search of a good fried chicken place.

[Left Is Write]

11. No room to write it!

I love baked beans. :D

[Wapsie B]

17. I do know a good place for those.

It used to be called the Heideman House in Waterloo, Iowa. Baked beans to die for.

[yellowdogintexas]

12. Popeye's, extra spicy, white meat.

second best: a good old fashioned Southern covered dish supper.Someone will bring fried chicken. The choice of sides will be phenomenal.


I also like Chicken Express

[neuvocat]

18. I like the spicy flavor.

[Left Is Write]

23. I would love to go to a good old fashioned Southern covered dish supper.

At the old Lutheran church basement suppers, you could count on ham buns and jello salads.

My Norwegian Lutheran grandmother, bless her, considered ketchup too "spicy."

[enigami]

30. K.T. Fryers in Kansas City (Kansas)

better than Strouds even

[Hippo_Tron]

35. You guys have a Popeyes in Texas?

I thought it was pretty strictly a local thing here in southern Louisiana.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

51. We have them in NYC n/t

[shrdlu]

66. Yes, we have Popeye's in Texas...

...and their chicken is great. Spouse and I recently ate once again at the famous Stroud's chicken emporium in Kansas City. A nice experience but we came away agreeing that Popeye's had the best chicken...not much for atmosphere and presention but their fowl is fine, fine, fine. I'll have the spicy, please.

[yellowdogintexas]

72. Oh yes, there are several here in Ft Worth. I actually first met

up with Popeye's many years ago when I lived in Nashville. LOVE THAT CHICKEN FROM POPEYE's

[RPM]

45. mmmmmmmmmmmmm popeyes!!!

thats some good chikkin!!

[Trigger Hippie]

47. YES!!!

Popeyes is the best chicken ever!!!! I'm from Louisiana and recently moved to Boston. Needless to say I'm missing Popeyes horribly. But I recently found some in Brockton. I will be going there very often I think. Popeyes has great buttery biscuits and spicy red beans and rice. Yummmmmmmm.

[In_The_Wind]

14. hot with honey and biscuits

& :beer:

[Jessica]

48. I like the way you think.

:9

[In_The_Wind]

49. yep ~ sweet and warm, that's the way I like it

:hi:

[sasquatch]

16. I like it warm, w/ hot sauce as an option

If from a resteraunt either it be Lee's but there;s a place in Missouri off I-70 that makes the best in the world. It's called fatboys I believe.

[Onlooker]

21. How about someone posting a recipe?!

n/t

[Ekirh]

24. Voted the first option...

But I gotta have some stuffing with gravey as well.

[enigami]

27. put some gravey on that sombich

[JRob]

31. My wife and her family is from SW Louisiana... Man, now that's some...

good fried chicken. You can feel your arteries hardening.

[angee_is_mad]

33. Chicken n waffles

is the BOMb! Don't forget fried okra and macroni and cheese.

Yes, I'm a southerner-what's your point:shrug:

[LSdemocrat]

36. Hot, on its own

What the hell else do you need?

[Qanisqineq]

40. The first two

you need an option: "Both A and B" :D

[Left Is Write]

55. You're right. I didn't think of that.

And I should have, because I like it equally well either way!

[enigmatic]

50. My wife's or Popeyes!

She makes it w/ her own "secret ingrediants"; man, it's good. Popeyes is really, really tasty too, but we don't have one up here...

[Left Is Write]

57. We have Popeye's here, but I have never tried it.

[enigmatic]

59. It really is good...

When I lived in New Orleans the fried Crawfish the local Popeye's had were fantastic..

[Left Is Write]

60. I'll have to give it a try.

I like fried chicken, but I've never been crazy about KFC, so I've been reluctant to try other fast food fried chicken.

It's pretty messy to make fried chicken, so I don't do it that often. I do use a cast iron frying pan, though, and I didn't know until recently that that's the Southern way. Cast iron is great for fried chicken, and it's great for bacon too.

[Patiod]

52. Mmm. skip the chicken, I'll take the biscuits & gravy

I'm a total Northerner, so I've come late to Southern delights like grits, biscuits & gravy. But we were freezing our asses off last year after a dawn hike around the rim of the Grand Canyon. I was WAY underdressed and shivering when we finally made it back to the restaurant at the Bright Angel.

I was saved by the most amazingly delicious hot biscuits and gravy, a food experience I keep trying to reproduce whenever I travel South, much to the detriment of my waistline.

Even though there's lots of good food in Philadelphia, good fried chicken is tough to find.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

53. Hot from Miss Mamie's Spoonbread in Harlem

With mac n' cheese, collard greens, cornbread and fruit punch.

Or alternately - from Miss Mamie's with waffles for Sunday brunch.


Best fried chicken I've ever found. And rumor has it that Big Dawg comes there to eat every so often -- so you know it's gotta be good!

[foo_bar]

61. this place isn't half bad neither

http://www.amyruthsrestaurant.com/

The right reverend Sharpton eats there, but no accounting for a Brooklyn boy's taste in haute southern cuisine:

The Rev. Al Sharpton
Chicken & Waffles (Fried or Smothered)

Pics on edit:

Maxine Waters, Charley Rangel, and here's the Canis Maximus:

[Tyrone Slothrop]

67. Thanks for the tip!

Next time I'm eating up that way I'll check it out.

That's a loooong ways from Brooklyn...

[foo_bar]

69. only twenty stops on the 2 train

At least it's direct. Puff Daddy's mom runs a fried chicken joint here on Flatbush, so I only have to go 3 stops:

"Anyway, word is, the BBQ is outrageously good. Maggie says it's kickass. So there you go. The Combs are straight-up Midas all the way. Gold, gold, gold."

That explains the Vote or Die poster in the window. You would think Puffy's mom would be more blingy, good for her for keeping it real in there.

[Love Bug]

64. I love fried chicken but I can't eat it anymore!

Without my gall bladder fried stuff goes through me like crap through a goose!:hurts:

[trof]

70. Other: W/butter beans & mashed taters.

Alabama standard.
