Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Having spent a good part of my teenage life in the heartland of America, I know a good fried chicken when I eat one. Over the past weekend, I decided to make a stop at San Francisco's Blue Jay Cafe, one of those joints that tries to bring the comforting tastes of the South to the West Coast urban life. The decor of the place is simply amazing, and brings to mind a coming together of indie, vintage, and western.
After a quick sit at the bar, we were presented with the menus. But, I knew what I wanted--fried chicken, no questions about it. Here, they serve it up with a side of macaroni and cheese and a homemade biscuit. I immediately fell in love with their biscuit, which was crusty and moist. I'm salivating about it right now as I'm writing. The mac 'n cheese was serviceable. But the chicken--oh, the chicken. Their chicken reminded me of why I like fried chicken in the first place. The delicate breading on the outside meets with the lusciously tender and flavorful chicken on the inside. The two are a match made in heaven.
As I finished my last bite of the finger licking good chicken, I vowed to return once again to this southern oasis in San Francisco. They've convinced me that I don't ever really need to leave the tastes of the south behind.
