Good Southern fried food is so often taken for granted in the South that it lacks the well deserved recognition it has earned.
It is the smell, the taste, the lingering warmth in our stomach that makes us yearn for this delicacy. Fried chicken is a way of life and we would never give it up. As a tribute to the beautiful gift of fried chicken, we have written an Ode. We hope you enjoy this poetic tribute.
It is timely as November 9th is National Fried Chicken Sandwich Day
Fried Chicken – Original Poem
I love your thighs
I love your wings
I wanna dip you in oil
And all of those pretty things
I want your white meat and your dark too
I wanna peel off your skin and bite into you
You are the one that whets my appetite
As you crunch down my palate tonight
I wanna swallow you whole, bones and all
With a side of fries, dressed up in slaw
I can smell you from a mile away
Tasting your southern deliciousness is all I can say
Licking my lips, and fingertips too
I eat you up, nothing you can do
Now I am done, full and complete
My how I have adored your mouth watering meat

FIVE FAST FACTS
Welcome to Charleston, one of the food capitals of the United States, and home to some of America’s best oysters. Today we’re going on a seafood tour of Charleston, especially focusing on the incredible oysters.
Barrier Island Oyster Co. (https://www.barrierislandoysters.com/) We’re starting this seafood tour at the Barrier Island Oyster Co., who are responsible for growing and serving some of the best oysters in South Carolina – in the United States. One of their signature oysters are the sea clouds, which have an extraordinary balance of flavor. It was amazing to see the process and behind the scenes of how oysters are grown before they reach your table.
The Ordinary (https://goo.gl/maps/gVGzwuLxu9EThtjS6) Next up we headed to The Ordinary, a well known seafood restaurant, serving a mix of seafood and especially fresh oysters and an outstanding raw bar. Food was delicious. Total price – $163 for everything
Chubby Fish (https://goo.gl/maps/BdEn8A8YHf8fEQme9) One of the restaurants I was most looking forward to trying in Charleston was Chubby Fish with Chef James London. He’s a legendary chef in South Carolina using the freshest seafood ingredients in creative and vibrant combinations. We had the oysters, and some more sea clouds, and an array of outstanding other local seafood dishes. Chubby Fish was without a doubt one of the best meals I ate in Charleston.
