Today is a glorious day!  “Why,” you ask.  Because it’s July 6, National Fried Chicken Day…that’s why.  Ahhh…fried chicken.  It’s the breakfast, lunch and dinner of champions.  What is it about that golden brown crispiness that has the power to intoxicate.  I don’t know – but I am a slave to it.

We all know that fried chicken is extremely hard to perfect.  So tell me, folks of Hunter’s Trace.  Where do you think I shine dine tonight to celebrate this great holiday that the holiday gods have bestowed upon us?  Who makes the best fried chicken in Memphis?  Is it the Gus’s (310 S. Front St.), Ms. Polly’s (154 Beale St.) or Uncle Lou’s (3633 Millbranch Rd.)?  Or is it somewhere else?

Honestly, while those places certainly aren’t bad choices, in my book, good ol’ Popeyes is hard to beat.
