fried chicken x

dr.mike and i went to powell’s to get some fried chicken for lunch before they closed this week. only thing is, we were too late! i thought they were supposed to close on the 15th, but they were out there hauling fixures and equipment onto the sidewalk and into a truck. (last time i trust that stupid sf independent for anything. no wonder nobody reads it.) the good news is that they found another place, which will be on eddy at fillmore, and they’ll open around july.

we ended up going to j’s pots of soul around the corner for our fried chicken, where they served us four chicken wings, rice and yams. this fits nicely in the fried chicken hierarchy:
1. drumsticks
2. thighs
3. wings
4. breasts

but they do get extra points because the were cooked fresh and extra juicy and were pretty fantastic. not like that fried chicken i got at astro burger in l.a. this weekend where the breast was not only not cooked but cold! the yams were good but the rice not that great, and the cornbread was dry. stick to the yams and mashed potatoes, i think.
