chicken king

Soul-food joint on East Broadway. I happened to be driving past and couldn’t resist the temptation. The menus were hand-drawn and stuck up in the windows with scotch tape. The usual down-home favorites: Fried chicken, catfish, beef tips, pulled pork. All kinds of sides like collard greens, white beans, red beans and rice, baked beans….and for dessert they had homemade banana pudding!

I couldn’t decide and since I don’t get this sort of food often I talked the guy into putting together a sampler platter with a bit of everything. I was suspicious that the catfish might be frozen but I’m not quite sure. Looks like he’s getting someone else to do his barbecue since I didn’t see a smoker. The beef tips were still luscious. Fried chicken was top-notch. Banana pudding was awesome.

Anyway, cheap and good soul food eats on East Broadway. I’ll go back next time I’m in town.
