A few months back, while in KC, my relatives took me to a dumpy old joint called Strouds that looked like it was converted from a house. Despite the exterior, the inside was hospitable. They had the best damn fried chicken I've ever eaten, and serve enough food to make Whitlock uncomfortable. I know the next time I'm in town, I'll desperately be searching for that place.
Has anyone else ever eaten there? Are they famous in town for their chicken, or am I just sheltered? [Reply]
My wife and i ate there last year. Not impressed. Chicken had no seasoning, very bland. Just my opinion, but I feel I get tastier chicken at KFC [Reply]
It's not mayo based - it's more of a vinaigrette/vinegar type - often you'll see poppy seeds in it - it's a little bitter but quite refreshing in the summer mos. It's delicious w/ fried chicken, works out well. [Reply]

It's a mobius strip of adaptive naming.
Chicken fried steak was steak fried [like chicken], except they also deboned it, pounded it flat and served it over potatoes with gravy on top.
So now chicken fried chicken is chicken fried [like chicken], deboned, pounded flat and served over potatoes with gravy on top. [technically, it should be southern style chicken Milanese]
And boneless wings are officially saucy nugs. [Reply]
Stroud's chicken strips are the absolute best. They also had wonderful fried prawns and great charcoal cooked pork chops. The gravy is absolutely fabulous and so are the green beans and cinnamon rolls.
I've had chicken down around Pittsburg, KS before. I didn't go to Chicken Mary's, it was some place with an italian name that had chicken and other stuff. Think it was this place in Frontenac, KS: http://www.bartosidlehour.com/ [Reply]

Have you ever had Dutch wilted lettuce? Same glaze.
Oh man, I'll eat the SHIT out of some wilted lettuce.
So this is essentially the same stuff but on a sliced up baked potato? I'm typically wary of german potato salad but that sounds like it may be damn good. [Reply]
