"Originating as a smashburger pop-up, Lovely’s is now a brick-and-mortar space in Uptown Oakland. The expanded menu includes two fried chicken sandwiches: an original and a hot one with comeback sauce. Both sandwiches come with a behemoth of a fried chicken thigh that has an ideal breading-to-meat ratio. Biting into one almost requires opening your mouth to a width that defies all laws of physics, but the juicy, piping hot sandwich is worth the effort—especially if you follow it up with some soft serve or a drink from next door at Two Pitchers Brewing." - julia chen 1, lani conway
