Holiday memory — Fried Chicken that transported me back

I first ate Fried Chicken on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the bold and smoky quality I remembered. hot sauce was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

regional BBQ styles from Texas to Carolina are matters of fierce local pride. It was the a Southern BBQ joint memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. root beer was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
