In Boston no less, I had a wonderful southern fried chicken, fried grits, and collards dinner. I was skeptical and the chicken wasn’t the same as my mothers but still very good. And the mashed potatoes were also good. If you’re ever in Boston on Sunday night, go to the Plough and Stars, get there early (5) for the life music, and stay for the chicken and they also have Speckled Hen on draught. Yum.
Old Speckled Hen? Outstanding.
I was today absolutely craving a dish that is largely unknown outside of San Francisco and Marin called ‘Joe’s Special’.
I grew up with it- my father used to make it, and very well.
It’s *very* rich food. :-)
Happy to hear you had a great time there. I spent most of a decade living within an easy walk of ‘The Plough.’ I would stop by for live music and a pint or two late at night. Too bad missed out on the dinners though they may not have had them back then. If you visit the area again try bbq at Redbones in Somerville.
