I'm not one that thrives off of red meat. You'll rarely see a big hunk of red meat on my plate...maybe once in the proverbial blue moon. And sometimes, even a good catch of fish doesn't float my boat.
But when it comes to chicken, I honestly could eat it most every night, if it's properly prepared. I don't know where my love of chicken came from. Maybe it's because my grandmother often prepared a big cast iron skillet of fried chicken, back in the days when we didn't think about fat and cholesterol clogging up our arteries and dispatching us to an early grave. Or perhaps, my life-long affair with chicken was a result of my encounter with the Colonel himself sitting at the next booth at a KFC when I was five-years-old.
These days, my chicken choices are confined to joints that offer roasted chicken or as an integral part of a dish. No fried chicken any longer for me. (The worry about being dispatched to an early grave is now a real worry.) Not too long ago, on a search for roasted chicken, I stumbled across Street's Fine Chicken. While I would have preferred to visit the Cedar Springs location since, I believe, it has table service, I instead opted for quick and easy and called my orders in to the Forest Lane location.
The Forest Lane location is a walk-up to the counter and order affair with some casual seating. So, it's not a joint for that big night on the town. (That is, unless you're going to follow your meal with a big night on the town.)
To date, my orders, have all been the same...a half roasted chicken and a side of collard greens. (Yes, I can be predictably boring.) So I can't tell you anything about the fried chicken option, and other selections like the pot pie, meat loaf, and chicken fried steak.
I've enjoyed my selections; however the last time, the chicken was just a tad too fall-off-the-bone moist for my preference, but it was otherwise flavorful and good.
At this point, I'd predict that Street's is going to placed on my hallowed Chicken Rotation List.
But next time up, the crystal ball is saying that the next chicken review will be from the Cedar Springs location. Anxious?
