Fried Chicken is the ultimate comfort food. It's one of those fulfilling meals that makes me feel like a different person afterward. Whether it's the juicy, tender meat or the fried, crispy skin, fried chicken definitely kicks ass. I'm marveling at fried chicken now because I went to Hattie's Shack this weekend.
I hadn't eaten for 4 hours. I had just played a tennis match, and felt like I was sitting forever watching the rest of my team play. I bought a pop tart to munch on, but that didn't last long because I had to pay taxes to all the guys on the team. Because everyone else was just as hungry, we needed a substantial meal. We decided to go to Hattie's Shack, an annex of the famous southern cuisine, Hattie's Restaurant. The result: an outrageously delicious fried chicken sandwich, with cajun coleslaw on a toasted kaiser roll. It was the best meal of the semester, hands down. And I've had my fair share of fried chicken. Over winter break, I had fried chicken from Michelle Bernstein's restaurant in Florida. Bernstein received the James Beard award for best chef in the Southern U.S. Her fried chicken was superb, but I'd be just as happy getting a fried chicken sandwich from Hattie's. Drive over to Wilton to grab this unreal sandwich; you won't regret it.
I have been planning on going there for weeks. I NEED fried chicken.
ReplyDeletei LOVE Hatties!! So delicious
ReplyDeleteI just went to Hatties Shack on Monday and I was thinking the exact same thing! I've been to the original Hatties in town, and I was happily surprised that the shack lived up to the way I feel about the original Hatties. SO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteChicken of the fried variety is the reason I got into the whole "food" thing.
