Get Fried

As a Northerner, I didn’t grow up on fried chicken.  My fried chicken experience consisted of the extra crispy bucket from Kentucky Fried Chicken, so I’m no connoisseur.  But, I know many of you Southerners are and I have new dish for you to try.  It’s Chef Darrell Rice’s family recipe at Tavern 99…and did I mention, it’s quite the DEAL?!  Every Thursday night starting at 5 p.m. at Tavern 99 in Buckhead, Chef Darrell is offering Cornflake Fried Chicken, a Side Salad, Mac & Cheese and Collard Greens for just $12.  But it’s only while supplies last.  Chef Darrell grew up on a Southern Georgia farm and his fried chicken recipe was passed down from his grandma.  He marinates the chicken in buttermilk overnight and uses a special blend of spices to make his original concoction.  You just have to try it!  And for $12, why not?  Plus, when I’m at Tavern 99 I get to watch all my favorite teams on the 12 big screens:  the Buffalo Bills, the New York Yankees, the Buffalo Sabres and Syracuse University football and basketball.  Alright, I know those aren’t your favorite teams but the Falcons, Braves and UGA are on too!  See you Thursday night for some good ol’ Southern fried chicken.
