I wanted to talk a little bit about fried chicken, a break from the sandwich talk. I was down south and BBQ spots always confuse me with their menu. For example, “bbq” listed without a size or a price. “BBQ chicken combo”, is that BBQ pork and BBQ chicken? Is that BBQ chicken with a side and a drink? What I’ve learned is to just show up and ask what they’re making, it’s always good. On this one menu I saw “fried half chicken” and had no idea what to expect. It was basically one of each piece, fried separately. I specify because I wasn’t sure if I was getting half a chicken fried as one piece, at a different BBQ spot I got a whole wing still attached to the breast. Anyway, it was some of the best fried chicken this Yankee has ever had and it was at a tourist trap truck stop, they must just do it better down there.

Been a big week for fried chicken. When back up north, I decided to check out this new-ish chain popping up called Asad’s. Supposedly bringing the south’s hot chicken to Philadelphia. They give you a giant chicken strip on a thick piece of white bread and let you figure out how to eat it. It was delicious and rivaled what I once had when I was in Nashville, I will certainly be returning to try their hottest spice level to see if it kills me.

Getting into the bootleg card business

Dogmeat is from a Fallout set coming in a few months but I couldn’t resist, they wear the same outfit and everything. This card shop coincidentally sent me this dog token, looks like they make them themselves and just pack them in with their shipments. That’s pretty cool, shout out!
