Breast and wing. 2 piece (white) $6
Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken, Washington DC
This chicken was pretty tasty. The large breast was a bit dry in parts, but I really liked the flavor of the coating and it was fried relatively well. It was a little greasy, but not overly so.

Belgian waffle, buttered pecans, maple-chicken jus. $15
ChurchKey, Washington DC
This was pretty good even though the fried chicken weren’t whole pieces complete with bones. They were still very flavorful, tender, and fried well. The waffle was tasty too and the buttered pecans were a great addition.
Lincoln Memorial.
Meh, these did the job of something to eat before a night of clubbing. I’m not sure where the chips went though. But then again, I didn’t order. My friend did all the ordering in Tagalog which I can’t really speak or understand. I’m such a bad Filipino, lol! 238 PHP

Belgian style, served with maple syrup, butter. $15
Luna Park, San Francisco CA
I’ve had my share of Belgian style waffles, but this didn’t compare. The waffle was WAY too airy and, therefore, had little substance. It dissolved almost immediately with the addition of butter and maple syrup. You really needed a more substantial waffle to hold up to the large pieces of buttermilk fried chicken on the plate. The chicken was good, but the waffle was lame.
Two sage fried chicken breasts with hardwood smoked bacon waffle tower, hot maple reduction and fried leeks. $16.95
Hash House A Go Go, Las Vegas NV
Mmm, this was much tastier and more manageable than the fried chicken benedict! The chicken was still a little greasy, but the waffles with bacon cooked into them were delicious. I just drenched everything in maple syrup and went for it, lol! I could have done without the useless pile of fried leeks on top though.
With fresh spinach, hardwood smoked bacon, market tomato, griddled mozzarella, chipotle cream and scrambled eggs served on a fresh split biscuit with griddled mashed potatoes. $15.95
Hash House A Go Go, Las Vegas NV
OMG, this fried chicken benedict was digustingly awe-inspiring, lol! We came to Hash House A Go Go to try this monstrousity because someone in our group had seen it on Man Vs. Food where Adam Richman ate the entire thing (ew!). Thank god I wasn’t the one who ordered it, but I did help eat it (hehe!).
The chipotle cream was a little on the bland side which is probably a good thing because you’d probably get sick from eating it all especially if it was spicy. The biscuits were dense and seemed underdone, and the mashed potatoes were also under-seasoned. The fried chicken tasted good but they were greasy. I guess what I’m saying was that this dish wasn’t very good, but it was worth the opportunity to see it in person and to give it a go. And really, it was only sixteen bucks! 🙂

Mix of regular and spicy (only 1 box shown), comes with 6 rolls. $31.55
Heaven Sent Fried Chicken, Seattle WA
Apparently Ezell Stephens, a former partner of Ezell’s, has opened this new chain of fried chicken eateries due to legal battles. I’ve never actually tried Ezell’s on First Hill even though it’s one of Oprah Winfrey’s favorite Seattle sites, so I wasn’t going to pass up a chance to try the same fried chicken served from Stephens’ re-named restaurant. The chicken was VERY juicy and tender but I was expecting it to have a little more flavor (I was even eating the spicy variety). It was very good, but probably not the best fried chicken I’ve ever had.

One southern fried chicken breast and one sweet potato waffle served with sweet cream whipped butter and warm home made brown sugar syrup. $10.54
Gussie’s Chicken and Waffles, San Francisco CA
Hmm, this was such a disappoinment! The chicken was way overcooked and the waffle was limp and lifeless! The service was super slow so maybe this was just waiting under the heat lamp so long that it dried out more than it should have.
I could barely cut through some of the chicken pieces because it was SO overcooked! If there was any flavor in this chicken, I couldn’t taste any of it because it was hard as a rock.

Our work group decided to have another weekend bbq to celebrate a birthday/last day of work. We decided to switch it up and have it in the East Bay this time around. It was a little cold and windy, but we had a great time eating, drinking, playing volleyball, and just hanging out.
Marina Park, San Leandro CA
It took a bit of effort and lot of lighter fluid to get this baby going!

Two thighs and a drumstick fried chicken value meal with French fries. $5.99
Queen’s Louisiana Po-Boy Cafe, San Francisco CA
Hmm, after hearing so many rave reviews about this place I was sadly disappointed by the quality of their food. The fried chicken were SUPER greasy making them unpleasant to eat. The fries were also soggy and flavorless.

Spicy fried Sonoma Valley chicken, buttermilk waffle with Vermont maple syrup. $12.50
900 Grayson, Berkeley CA
This was REALLY tasty! And there was plenty of fried chicken – I could barely finish. I kinda wish the chicken was bone-in though, it feels more homey that way and it keeps the meat super moist.
Coffee. $2
Sugar and salt.
Two double breaded chicken breasts with gravy, pimiento cheese slaw, butter whipped potatoes. $16.95
Poogan’s Porch, Charleston SC
Wow, this was SO large I could barely finish one large breast! I was sad to leave the rest on my plate, but it wouldn’t have kept well in my hotel room. The chicken was absolutely amazing though, as was the gravy. The mashed potatoes were silky smooth, but I didn’t really get the cole slaw. I know that pimiento cheese is a southern thing, but it didn’t do much for the slaw. I kind of wish the slaw could have been lighter and more citrus-y to balance out the heaviness of everything else.
One of the many cannons displayed at Fort Moultrie, Sullivan’s Island. Like the fried chicken dish above, this cannon was HUGE! 🙂
