Honestly, it was an accident.
TLDR = ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thai inspired fried 🐔 🥪!
I pull right up to the window on my electric scooter -Tina- ( we don't talk about her size only how fast she is ) like I actually know what I am doing, and I straight up try to order a burger combo! The gentleman behind the counter - with a nearly imperceptible hint of disappointment - informed me that I was not at the "burger place". Well folks...... I tell you, it had been a long day, I was deprived and dang near deranged, and ole Tina's battery was right on the brink of 50%. I cast a glance over my shoulder towards the indicated establishment and instantly decided what I really wanted was some fried chicken. Because the other spot was looking like a liminal space.
Not yet completely convinced... we started going over some menu options; you know, because at this point.....I dont even have a clue where I am, let alone what I want to eat.
My courteous and observant server skipped no beats, got me oriented with grace, and I quickly realized I was not at just some rando fried chicken truck.
We got my order banged out, no thanks to me obviously. Everything sounded too real to be perfect, you dig?
It was like one rung up the mind-blow ladder after the next.
Tots were suggested, and agreed upon, spicy pickles were almost overlooked, crises averted. My dinosaur of a card ( sorry dinosaurs, that was cruel ) was painstakingly keyed into the system manually by my ever patient and covertly stoic server. What felt like an easy 12 - 16 minutes ( 3 hours faster than my struggle to craft this train wreck - sorry trains, that was cruel ) later, my order was received.
Upon close inspection - solely to grade the packaging in preparation for transport - I noticed a few tots. This is where it gets interesting.
These were no ordinary tots. My level of interest in the meal went from a 4-5 to about a 9. It was that kind of tot. They were in fact next-level tots, as the kids say.
On top of showing the hallmarks of true quality, my OG Chicken Sandwich was assembled with exceptional presentation. Its wrapping was clean and attractive, and clearly labeled. My side of spicy pickles was perfectly sealed in a high grade container, and not a drop of brine was shed. My tots were so enticing both aromaticly and esthetically it was difficult for me to believe this had all been an accident?
If you want chicken? Heck, it's all over ATX, take your pick. If you want a truly gratifying meal with flavors and pairings that folks actually put the care in to accomplish? This grub is worth your time.
I am so glad I did not turn my back on Spicy Boys and stick to my orginal plan for burger.
I made a dumb mistake, but... what I ended up getting was a meal with five star complexity, quality pairings and accentuated flavors ( not just in my sandwich but literally every item I ordered ) for under $20, from a small business in my neighborhood, with big backyard vibes.
Huge thanks to y'all for this incredible first experience. I will be back again. And with purpose.
My apologies to anyone still reading, it's been a long day. Peace, love, and chicken grease my fried friends. More than a nugget, this one was.
