"Go to Gus’s World Famous in Sixth Ward when you want Southern fried chicken with a crunch that breaks the sound barrier. Despite Gus’s pumping out enough chicken daily to fill Minute Maid Park, the quality never wavers. The batter here creates a thick and flaky chestnut-brown skin with an underlayer of just-hot-enough-spice surrounding the juicy meat. Each piece tastes so flavorful that you might surprise yourself with how much chicken you can eat, especially with sides like country-style baked beans and spice-crusted macaroni and cheese." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
