"Dulan’s is an LA soul food institution with one location in Inglewood and two in South LA. Our favorite of the bunch is their recently renovated flagship on Crenshaw, which has a big dining room ideal for a group meal involving their golden, juicy fried chicken—a star dish that tastes like a well-seasoned love triangle of salt, pepper, and crunch. A close runner-up is their fall-apart braised oxtails served on weekends, plus sides of braised greens, candied yams, red beans, and the complimentary cornbread muffins. Sit on the covered sidewalk patio if it’s nice out, or grab a table near the neon sign inside for a little more privacy. " - nikko duren, garrett snyder, brant cox
