Standing Room Only: Harold's Chicken Shack
@Nick: Excellent choice for a review. Next time you may want to try a mix of hot and barbecue sauce as it's particularly delicious.
@bruisedbuddha: the bread actually used to go on the bottom and still can if you ask them to do it. The bread ends up warm and heavily dotted with grease. Stick a couple fries in a piece of bread along with a bit of chicken and you've got greatness.
Now It Can Be Told: What 'Pizza Madness 2009' Was All About
@pizzablogger: I think your rage is misplaced. While you are correct that "a portion of the eastern border of our state is the Atlantic Ocean," the same is obviously true for Virginia, both Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. As you certainly know, you reside south of the Mason Dixon line in a state that had more than its fair share of secessionist sympathizers. While today's Maryland may be culturally more aligned with the Northeast than the South, I suspect a combination of history and the overabundance of high quality pizzerias in the Northeast left Ed and Adam no choice but to put your beloved home in the South/Southeast category.
Now It Can Be Told: What 'Pizza Madness 2009' Was All About
@seriouspizza: Why does it matter when the places opened? The purpose was for them to identify the best pizzeria in the U.S. There's plenty of room for debate on most of the matchups, but longevity strikes me as immaterial.

Last bite on earth:

@bruisedbuddha: I'm not sure that you mean by southside, but regardless, yes, now the bread is on top but my comment was that that was not always the case. I speak of both the now closed location on 53rd Street in Hyde Park, the newer location on the same street and the location by the Green Line on 55th Street. But no matter where that spongy white bread is, contact with the rest of the meal makes it, as you say, "so damn good."
