Chef reviews Nashville Hot "Chicken"

I laughed out loud at your tale of "something unholy," Chef, and then...

I tried KFC'z new product. Hours later, narrowly avoided explosive trouser chili. Damn, do they make it with Exlax?!?!

 

Publix's deli has great wings. Never had the crab legs, but I hear they're worth stealing.

 

3 words.....muddy pond water

 

I think "Lightning Chicken" comes in all shapes, forms and delivery locations.

South Jersey is below the Mason Dixon line. People in other parts of the country may think everyone in NJ sounds like Tony Soprano or the dopes from Jersey Shore. But parts of Salem, Cumberland, Gloucester and Cape May counties are closer to Alabama or Mississippi than North Jersey.

 

I'm vegan now, but when I ate meat, I'd swear by Bolton's.

And I'd take a bullet for Ms. Geraldine. Try one of her pies. She will not lead you wrong.

93Devil, Publix has the best olive/pickled things/pepper bars in the hemisphere. Unfortunately, they will remove it if Cousin Eddie types insist on treating it like a little bitty Trader Joes sampler counter. Don't let this happen to your community. Things are just a little less zippity doo dah here since they replaced the bar in my store with a table full of croissants.

 

The first part is geographically true. Cape May is farther south latitudinally than Baltimore and almost even with Washington DC.

But it's 214 miles from Cape May to Port Jarvis, and Alabama and Mississippi aren't that close even as the crow flies.

 

Royal Farms fried chicken. Its just great.

Want it hot? Dip it in your favorite hot sauce.

 

Yes, didn't mean it was closer in miles to Alabama and Mississippi. Meant that if you were dropped off in a rural Salem county town you'd think it was more like Alabama than NYC or a North Jersey suburb.

 

Mason Dixon line would cross through Blackwood, intersection of the Pike and Blackwood-Clementon road.

Hard to remember. Been a long time since I've been a regular in those parts.

 

You might think that, but no one from the (actual) South would.
