Crown Fried Chicken

Ok since moving to Lynn my work schedule has hindered me getting out to try the food. I picked up…read moremy suit for Joe's ceremony next Friday and did some food shopping and everyone knows food shopping just makes you hungry. I heard a lot of good things about Kennedy's fried chicken on Chestnut Street, I was coming home and there was a parking spot open so stopped in. I only wanted two pieces of chicken one thing I've noticed about Spanish people, they want everyone to try their rice, so the owner tossed in a container of rice for me to try, he said you'll love it. I just had the best piece of fried chicken I've had in 30 years, I ate that shit down to the bones, the skin was nice and crispy, the chicken was moist and juicy, the rice was good traditional rice I will definitely be going there more often it's less than a half mile from my house

Raising Cane's absolutely delivers on its simple, focused promise of quality chicken fingers, and…read moreit's easy to see why it has such a loyal following. The experience is consistently efficient. The lines can get long due to its popularity, but ordering ahead through their app is the perfect way to skip the wait. Once you get your food, it's exactly what you're hoping for: crispy, juicy chicken fingers that are reliably good. The real star of the show is the Cane's Sauce. That creamy, peppery dip has a cult following for a reason and pairs perfectly with everything in the combo. The Box Combo gives you a great taste of their core offerings: those great chicken fingers, buttery Texas Toast for dipping, crinkle-cut fries that are crispy when fresh, and creamy coleslaw. It's a satisfying, decently-priced meal for something quick and easy. Overall, Raising Cane's is a standout in the fast-casual chicken game. It won't reinvent your idea of fast food, but for a tasty, no-fuss meal where the sauce truly shines, it consistently hits the spot.

Boston is home to an array of restaurants and cuisine. Countless places you can sit down, have…read moreamazing food and beverage and walk away with that "good full" satisfaction. This is ultimately a true statement, if you have time. A table in the North End on most nights will have you waiting an hour plus at times **cough** Regina's and Giacomo's **cough**. Unfortunately, if you're a 9 to 5'er, time is not on your side. Sometimes, you need to run out and grab something good and eat at your desk. So what are our options? Order ahead at a restaurant, but if they get slammed (typically will be during lunch) you're stuck waiting God knows how long. You could get fast food, but you know you'll be dragging after. Hell, you might fall asleep during that 1 o'clock meeting with your team. You could go Grubhub or Doordash, but that's a coin flip if the food actually ever gets to you or you may find your delivery person eating your food right outside your building (yeah...it happened). Brick and mortar food stops can truly wreck your day, which is why I LOVE food trucks. Restaurant quality, quick, lots of options, winner. If you're a skeptic of food coming off a truck and you're in the Copley Square area or the Financial District, I implore you to track down Walloon's. One of the two best chicken sandwich places you can find in Boston (Walloon's and Saus in no particular order). It's a frigid cold day today and being out in it is the last thing I want. Walloon's makes it worth it though. Walking around the corner of Milk and Kilby and seeing the blue, white and dijon (looks dijon-ish?) colored truck warms me up immediately. They put out various chimis, ribs, salads, and sandwiches. Close your eyes and pick one if you need to, there is no wrong choice. I mix it up typically but I go for my fav on the list, The Pepper Jack Combo. I get my order and crank the power walk speed to 11 so I can get into this thing quick. Pop open the container, the clouds part and the angels start singing. I don't know what they do to their fries, but I could eat multiple orders, unseasoned. If you dip them in the Walloon's sauce they also give you, holy @*$! If they bottled that stuff and sold it in stores, I'd buy it. Now the sandwich - great bun with some squish but will hold everything together, no sogginess. The chicken is amazing and juicy, they use chicken breasts which I'm on board with. Breading is thin but crunchy, flavor is on point. Its covered in melted pepper jack cheese, gives the chicken a deeper dimension. Under the chicken and cheese are jalapenos, provides the perfect kick and a subtle after burn. Under THAT is more Walloon's sauce which is tough to describe. Its like a sweet honey mustard mayo kinda thing, its good so eat it. Empty container, single tear. It's so satisfying a feeling being full of great food, which is what Walloon's puts out. Go to boston.gov and to see where they are on a given day. Follow them on Insta and Twitter (more active Twitter): @eatwalloons. andddd you're welcome! :)
