Second Night – Gus’s (World Famous) Fried Chicken
I only included the parenthesis because even though it’s on the sign above the door, there’s another Gus’s World Famous Fried chicken whose website has a different logo and a different location. So, Gus might be a pretty common name, as is the claim of “world famous fried chicken” In any case this Gus’s was located downtown, within walking distance of where I was staying and came highly recommended by my friends Sanj and Alana, friends who don’t know each other and made their recommendations separately. Trust is a good thing, because world famous or not, this was some damn fine fried chicken! Freshly fried in a light and flavorful batter whose bright crispiness gave way to the juicy meat beneath, this was truly great fried chicken.
As seen from the outside. It was actually snowing that night, so I was looking forward to gettin in there and filling up on fried food.

How to make pickles better? Deep fry them of course. And then serve them with ranch dressing. I think if I was a pregnant woman, I would crave these.
Three pieces of fried chicken (they gave an extra piece!) - all dark meat, of course, cole slaw and dirty rice. You can kind of see that the chicken was still bubbling having just come out of the fryer.
I don't like to waste food.
the cooks: (l-r) Tony, Courtney and Miron
Final verdict: Awesome! Worthy of world fame.
