fried chicken.

Though I'm trying to keep swizzle a blog focused on my love of the drink, I couldn't resist snapping this photo as I strolled through the kitchen before service on Wednesday evening. Wednesday's have become our fried chicken day, and it's been well received from the day we began running that daily special.

In my opinion, it's one of the biggest deals in the Louisville restaurant world - a hidden gem of great proportion that even the largest men struggle to complete. Let it be known, there is always a take-out box in the mix post-Chicken frenzy.

Anyway, I couldn't resist the shimmering golden brown skin and thought I would share with my three blog readers.

Also, an interesting bit of information: the Sterns, who write the 'Road Food' column for Gourmet, called Henderson, KY (my hometown) "the fried chicken capital of the solar system." No lie. There is a place called Bon Ton Mini Mart that makes the best fried chicken you've never had.

By the way, all three of you: I am so so sorry. But thank you for continuing to read.
