"Harold’s Chicken Shack is a Chicago fast-food institution, known for its fried chicken. The chain has been immortalized in songs by rappers Common and Lupe Fiasco. Chance the Rapper is so much of a fan that he had a themed-birthday cake that looked like fried chicken. It was founded in the 1950s by Harold and Hilda Pierce." - Nadia Chaudhury
