You can laugh at me all you want. I’ve had some of the best fried chicken in the world. Among them: Deacon Burton’s, Thelma’s, and Watershed in Atlanta; Blue Willow Inn in Social Circle, GA., Lady & Son’s in Savannah, Mrs. Rowe’s in Staunton, VA, Coffee Cup in Charlotte...

I am surprised at how good the fried yardbird is at Acme. Nope, I am not saying quite is good as the above, but I can’t believe I can get some very competitive fried chicken at a supermarket in the north.

Nobody eats at that restaurant anymore. It's always too crowded.

I get good fried chicken from there location in Shrewsbury on Rt. 35. The Shop Rite in West Long Branch on the corner of Rts 36 and 71 also does it well. There are a lot of Mom & Pop outfits around here they have to compete with...

I was afraid you were going to ask. I assumed the yardbird was the same at each location. The reason I do not know is I have it at our big family July 4 party and cuzzie picks it up. I never asked the location but I think she lives in Collingswood but the bash is in Marlton. I don’t actually live up there any longer and there are so many other places on my list to eat when I go there, otherwise, I would have asked the exact location.

Will test your theory soon by picking some up at Passyunk and Reed and reporting back to the list.

I've been equally shocked by the quality of the fried chicken at the Stop N Shop on Inman Avenue in Edison.

Better than any other place in the vicinity!
