Fried Chicken

I like Cafette's (in Chestnut Hill) Southern Fried Chicken.  They serve it hot as their dinner special on Friday nights.  Then they serve it (cold, I believe) on Saturday afternoons with a nice caesar salad. Christina

Some of the best fried Chicken I ever had was in Philly.  There was a place in South Philly called the Candy Shop...  [Their smothered porkchop and smothered chicken were to die for too...]

My best advice for you is to look at the out of the way places that are popular for the neighborhoods and ask the locals.  My brother-in-law was the only one who could find the way there [which is why I can't give directions to you] and if we wanted Fried Chicken we would drive in from Norristown.

Since I moved I found another little local place called Red's Diner near PSU  that is traffic worn and at supper time you have a line into the parking lot waiting for a table.  [Actually it has lines about 4 times a day] and this is a place you would swear you would never eat until you eat there.. Great food and a great price.  Ask around.

The Fried Chicken at the Down Home diner in the terminal is excellent. C.
