Best Fried Chicken in Town



Our local paper SF Weekly had their annual vote for the "Best of" places for eating, drinking, entertainment and so forth. They voted Hard Knox Cafe as the Best Fried Chicken place in town. I looked up the address and it was clear across town requiring a 20-minute bus ride in an area of San Francisco I was unfamiliar with. It would take some time, but when I finally had a moment, I would set out on a quest to find this place. And today was the day.

I walked down to catch the 15 bus and it went bumbling down 2nd and 3rd, glimpsing The Gallery Lounge, and finally it reached 22nd. I hopped off and found Hard Knox Cafe and was quickly seated at the counter bar - 3 pieces of fried chicken, collard greens, red beans and rice, a Coke and a Jamaican beer called Red- something - all for about $11 - whooppee! The chicken was pretty good, hard to beat good ol' Church's Chicken recipe, but the best part of it was the adventure of finding it on public transportation on the other side of town. Fun! Yum!

Went to see "Prada" (enjoyed this movie!) and then hit the gym to burn off the fried residue of my little adventure. :)
