I got a letter in my inbox from none other than Anthony Myint, co-owner and chef at Mission Chinese Food (one of the best restaurants I ate at last year) sharing a fried chicken hack.

Fast Food: KFC Big Value Box

KFC seems to be returning to its roots with the current promotion of the Big Value Box.

It's been a while since we stopped to rave about the seriously good fried chicken from Willie Mae's Scotch House in New Orleans. Back in 2008, Ed called it "perhaps the finest fried chicken on the planet," and he doesn't toss around compliments like that lightly. Especially when it comes to fried chicken.

KFC vs Lee's: Finding the Real Kentucky Fried Chicken

Growing up there were two fried chicken places in my hometown: Lee's Famous Recipe (known over the years as Famous Recipe and later just Lee's) and KFC (formerly Kentucky Fried Chicken).
