"It’s only fitting that Cookie’s Country Chicken has found a home in Ballard, a neighborhood with strong nautical ties. Owner Brian Chandler spent 10 years in the maritime industry, including a stint spent perfecting his fried chicken recipe while feeding oil industry crews in Louisiana. Top sides include mashed potatoes with gravy, mac and cheese, and collard greens." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Eater Staff, Harry Cheadle
