Creative, often self-taught chefs took to the street offering regionally specific and experimental dishes to patrons at affordable prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though rents show no signs of ebbing, many pop-up owners still angle for some permanence, even if it’s in a less traditional space like a shipping container. Others take over kitchens at bars and restaurants with leases more like artist residencies than commercial tenancies.

There, from the bar’s tiny kitchen, he churned out fried chicken sandwiches and his coveted “OG” burgers (American cheese topped smashed patty and all the fixings in a potato bun).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136000\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-136000\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender.jpeg\" alt=\"A drive thru burger and an OG burger from Oakland's Lovely's.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1029\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender.jpeg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender-160x86.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender-800x429.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender-768x412.jpeg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender-1020x547.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender-1200x643.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A drive thru burger and an OG burger from Lovely's. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Mikey Yoon)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The burger, along with Lovely’s entire menu, is an ode to the uncomplicated and reliable offerings from the lunch delis and diners that Yoon loved in his Midwest and East Coast days. In fact, his parents ran a few of those delis themselves in his home state of Maryland. “It definitely represented my parents,” he recalls. “Out there, it’s a cheeseburger, steak and cheese, chopped cheese, french fries from a bag. It was super affordable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hype around Lovely’s coincided with Yoon’s announcement that he’d be leaving his year-long post at The Lodge to find a permanent spot of his own. With a single, stable location, Yoon can avoid the stress of Bay Area residents’ avid pursuit for the newest and most ephemeral food experiences—a chase that’s become gamified thanks to social feeds. “In a pop-up context it almost seems like it’s not even about the food.

They’re building the kitchen. I don’t have to put all of this investment down,” he says. He’ll keep mum on other details until the deal is inked.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Drinking Buddies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On the other side of the bridge in San Francisco, chef Abraham Nunez is also searching for a permanent spot for his \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/chicano_nuevo/?hl=en\">Chicáno Nuevo\u003c/a> pop-up. In 2015, Nunez started selling tamales and fish tacos at the original Emmy’s Spaghetti Shack location after the eatery moved down the street. Soon enough, the owner asked him to take over the kitchen; Nunez ran his pop-up for a year until the building sold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BybOwFYB9y2/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Originally from San Diego and Tijuana, Nunez was excited to offer the regionally specific Mexican food he grew up eating, like the Baja-style fish tacos he serves with a salmon caldo. Besides his specialized menu, Nunez also sees the value of his pop-up for bars and breweries who sell liquor under a 47 license, which requires a facility be a “bona fide eating place” with over half its sales coming from food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some new bar owners that don’t have experience to run a kitchen are looking to people like me who have a following of people and already a brand, a central dish, a focal point and a strategy,” he says. “The pop-up as a service is highly desirable because you come in and you run their kitchen. They don’t have to go out and hire and train and work out their recipes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former musician compares running a pop-up to being in a band, playing shows in a different venue every weekend. “It feels almost exactly the same,” Nunez says. “Rehearse, get the band together, perform a show. Prep, get the food and ingredients and equipment together and go perform, do a pop-up. Then you pack up your gear at the end of the night and you go home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, Nunez is touring Chicáno Nuevo at Old Devil Moon, El Rio and Casements. Starting next year, he’s hoping to be in a permanent spot on 16th and Mission Streets. The chef is in the final stages of negotiations for a commercial space through the Mission Housing Development Corporation, a community-based organization dedicated to creating and preserving high-quality affordable housing for Mission residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Better Together\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"bayareabites_135485,checkplease_20198\" label='Gay 4 U is Reborn and Aburaya is on Check, Please!']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Terry Sok-Wolfson, along with her wife and business partner Julia Sok-Wolfson, bought downtown Oakland lunch institution Garden House in 2014, a pop-up helped them survive their first year as business owners. Adachi Hiroyuki launched dinner service at the lunch-only restaurant with \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/aburayaoakland/?hl=en\">Aburaya\u003c/a>, a punk rock-influenced Japanese fried chicken spot with a cult following. With Hiroyuki splitting the rent with them, the Sok-Wolfsons were able to keep afloat as new business owners. “I knew in my heart that it’d become increasingly difficult to run a business in downtown Oakland,” Terry says. “[The pop-up] is what ultimately gave us an opportunity to succeed and grow as much as we have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Aburaya spun out to their own location, with the Sok-Wolfsons staying on as business partners, Garden House’s building sold in 2017. The couple renovated the restaurant and negotiated a new lease with pop-ups in mind. “Aburaya has turned into something that none of us could’ve imagined,” Terry explains. “If we’re able to give someone else an opportunity to grow as much as Aburaya has, someone that is a part of the community, doing things for the community, then that’s definitely something we want to [do].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B6DTBmmBmFk/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This October, Sofi Espice’s colorful vegan pop-up, Gay 4 U, moved into Garden House for dinner and brunch service after losing their semi-permanent spot at Classic Cars West. Now that they’re on more solid financial footing at Garden House, the Sok-Wolfsons are offering Espice a more flexible lease option, including marginally increasing rent that can take the pressure off of the pop-up in the first few months. “I think it’s impossible to run a pop-up without a venue that supports you. And it’s also almost impossible to just run a simple small family restaurant,” Terry says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m very committed to Oakland in as many ways as I can be.

It was super affordable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hype around Lovely’s coincided with Yoon’s announcement that he’d be leaving his year-long post at The Lodge to find a permanent spot of his own. With a single, stable location, Yoon can avoid the stress of Bay Area residents’ avid pursuit for the newest and most ephemeral food experiences—a chase that’s become gamified thanks to social feeds. “In a pop-up context it almost seems like it’s not even about the food.

They’re building the kitchen. I don’t have to put all of this investment down,” he says. He’ll keep mum on other details until the deal is inked.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Drinking Buddies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On the other side of the bridge in San Francisco, chef Abraham Nunez is also searching for a permanent spot for his \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/chicano_nuevo/?hl=en\">Chicáno Nuevo\u003c/a> pop-up. In 2015, Nunez started selling tamales and fish tacos at the original Emmy’s Spaghetti Shack location after the eatery moved down the street. Soon enough, the owner asked him to take over the kitchen; Nunez ran his pop-up for a year until the building sold.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"instagramLink","attributes":{"named":{"instagramId":"BybOwFYB9y2"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Originally from San Diego and Tijuana, Nunez was excited to offer the regionally specific Mexican food he grew up eating, like the Baja-style fish tacos he serves with a salmon caldo. Besides his specialized menu, Nunez also sees the value of his pop-up for bars and breweries who sell liquor under a 47 license, which requires a facility be a “bona fide eating place” with over half its sales coming from food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some new bar owners that don’t have experience to run a kitchen are looking to people like me who have a following of people and already a brand, a central dish, a focal point and a strategy,” he says. “The pop-up as a service is highly desirable because you come in and you run their kitchen. They don’t have to go out and hire and train and work out their recipes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former musician compares running a pop-up to being in a band, playing shows in a different venue every weekend. “It feels almost exactly the same,” Nunez says. “Rehearse, get the band together, perform a show. Prep, get the food and ingredients and equipment together and go perform, do a pop-up. Then you pack up your gear at the end of the night and you go home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, Nunez is touring Chicáno Nuevo at Old Devil Moon, El Rio and Casements. Starting next year, he’s hoping to be in a permanent spot on 16th and Mission Streets.

The couple renovated the restaurant and negotiated a new lease with pop-ups in mind. “Aburaya has turned into something that none of us could’ve imagined,” Terry explains. “If we’re able to give someone else an opportunity to grow as much as Aburaya has, someone that is a part of the community, doing things for the community, then that’s definitely something we want to [do].”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"instagramLink","attributes":{"named":{"instagramId":"B6DTBmmBmFk"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>This October, Sofi Espice’s colorful vegan pop-up, Gay 4 U, moved into Garden House for dinner and brunch service after losing their semi-permanent spot at Classic Cars West.

The restaurant opened this summer amid a stretch of eateries and bars on Grand Avenue, and its seasonal prix-fixe offerings make it a standout—and a hard reservation to snag on a Friday night. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Luckily, MAMA saves room for walk-ins, so my group and I settled at a cozy corner table with prime people-watching views to contemplate the night’s choices. Roasted mushroom soup or fennel-and-blood orange salad with toasted walnuts for the first course? Spaghetti with meatballs or malfatti with roasted vegetables for the second? And finally, our dessert options were a pumpkin cheesecake with rosemary graham crust or a spiced persimmon upside-down cake.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B5GFpksBapy/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Between the three of us, we were able to order every dish. But I’m here to tell you about the malfatti: the delicate spinach-and-cheese dumplings sat on a butternut squash purée, leaning on roasted root vegetables, all glistening in brown butter and topped with crispy sage. It was a thoughtful and delicious dish—so good that nothing was left on the plate by the end.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The rest of the meal was also carefully prepared and lovely, and not just for its price. Also noteworthy is MAMA’s wine list, which is much longer than its food menu. (The restaurant’s owners first started with the wine bar Bay Grape, just a block west on Grand.) I’m going back to MAMA, and probably very soon.—\u003cem>Ruth Gebreyesus\u003c/em>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Homemade Belarusian Classics on Thanksgiving\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The best thing I ate recently was a Thanksgiving meal at my mom’s place in Hayward, which featured a mix of American dishes like roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and a delicious truffle salt stuffing, and a couple of classics on the table from Belarus.

We chose a crispy chicken silog and a longanisa silog with a side of bacon, and each came with a heaping mound of garlic rice and pineapple. (We also added eggs to both orders.)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135823\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-135823\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/gatewaykitche_1.jpg\" alt=\"Gateway Kitchen's longanisa silog served with a side of bacon and garlic rice.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/gatewaykitche_1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/gatewaykitche_1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/gatewaykitche_1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/gatewaykitche_1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/gatewaykitche_1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/gatewaykitche_1-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gateway Kitchen's longanisa silog served with a side of bacon and garlic rice. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Gateway Kitchen, when you tap the surface of the chicken with a fork, the crispy, hard shell taps back. Imagine how satisfying it is to hear the crispy crunch when your fork and knife first breach that umami shell—yep, it was just as good as you’re thinking! The fatty longanisa and crispy bacon provided a great texture and flavor contrast to the garlic rice, especially once we broke the yolk and mixed it all together.\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And yes, I’m still thinking about that crispy chicken over a week later!—\u003cem>Grace Cheung\u003c/em>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>MAMA Oakland's Prix-Fixe Menu\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After a trusted recommendation, I dragged along two friends to try \u003ca href=\"https://mama-oakland.com/\">MAMA Oakland\u003c/a>’s fairly affordable $30 three-course dinner. The restaurant opened this summer amid a stretch of eateries and bars on Grand Avenue, and its seasonal prix-fixe offerings make it a standout—and a hard reservation to snag on a Friday night. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Luckily, MAMA saves room for walk-ins, so my group and I settled at a cozy corner table with prime people-watching views to contemplate the night’s choices. Roasted mushroom soup or fennel-and-blood orange salad with toasted walnuts for the first course? Spaghetti with meatballs or malfatti with roasted vegetables for the second? And finally, our dessert options were a pumpkin cheesecake with rosemary graham crust or a spiced persimmon upside-down cake.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"instagramLink","attributes":{"named":{"instagramId":"B5GFpksBapy"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Between the three of us, we were able to order every dish. But I’m here to tell you about the malfatti: the delicate spinach-and-cheese dumplings sat on a butternut squash purée, leaning on roasted root vegetables, all glistening in brown butter and topped with crispy sage. It was a thoughtful and delicious dish—so good that nothing was left on the plate by the end.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The rest of the meal was also carefully prepared and lovely, and not just for its price. Also noteworthy is MAMA’s wine list, which is much longer than its food menu. (The restaurant’s owners first started with the wine bar Bay Grape, just a block west on Grand.) I’m going back to MAMA, and probably very soon.—\u003cem>Ruth Gebreyesus\u003c/em>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Homemade Belarusian Classics on Thanksgiving\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The best thing I ate recently was a Thanksgiving meal at my mom’s place in Hayward, which featured a mix of American dishes like roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and a delicious truffle salt stuffing, and a couple of classics on the table from Belarus. My mom brought back our childhood favorites, including Russian-style deviled eggs made with mushrooms and fresh dill, and the rich Olivier salad, which is eaten across many former-Soviet nations. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like many other salads from the region, Olivier is dressed in mayonnaise and resembles a potato salad but with more “stuff” in it: cubed potatoes, carrots, peas, mushrooms, eggs and a cured meat of some kind, usually ham. I had this dish at every family gathering growing up, but nowadays I eat it on rare occasions since it’s more laborious to put together than your average green salad.

It’s also one of his personal favorite styles of fried chicken. When his brick and mortar in the Mission officially opened in April 2016, hot chicken earned a spot on the menu. “It is the number two best-selling item and the number one best-selling item in delivery orders,” Rowe says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what about The Bird, one of San Francisco’s premiere fried chicken sandwich destinations?

Nashville hot chicken is normally served with slices of white bread and pickles, and Hard Water’s version fills the carb slot with cornbread. However, WesBurger 'N' More, Hotbird and HotBoys all serve theirs as sandwiches — perhaps for portability’s sake.

It was my mother’s go-to protein and one I think she found very satisfying to prepare. No doubt that it reminded her of her own mother. And I feel the same way today. My mom always placed her flour and spices in a paper bag and tossed in the chicken to coat it that way. There was a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shake_%27n_Bake\">commercial product\u003c/a> that suggested this technique. Those of us who are old enough, I’m sure recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know that many people find cooking with a large amount of hot oil very intimidating and I can’t encourage enough attention to safety and caution when frying. Make sure you’re not distracted and that everyone in the vicinity is aware of your activity. If you fry at the right temperature, the oil should create a nice rolling bubble. There shouldn’t be any smoke or splatter.

It was my mother’s go-to protein and one I think she found very satisfying to prepare. No doubt that it reminded her of her own mother. And I feel the same way today. My mom always placed her flour and spices in a paper bag and tossed in the chicken to coat it that way. There was a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shake_%27n_Bake\">commercial product\u003c/a> that suggested this technique. Those of us who are old enough, I’m sure recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know that many people find cooking with a large amount of hot oil very intimidating and I can’t encourage enough attention to safety and caution when frying. Make sure you’re not distracted and that everyone in the vicinity is aware of your activity. If you fry at the right temperature, the oil should create a nice rolling bubble. There shouldn’t be any smoke or splatter. Also, the key is to not overcrowd the pot. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124125\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new.jpg\" alt=\"Brown Sugar Kitchen’s Acclaimed Buttermilk Fried Chicken\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-124125\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brown Sugar Kitchen’s Acclaimed Buttermilk Fried Chicken \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Brown Sugar Kitchen’s Buttermilk Fried Chicken\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 4 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>¼ cup blackening spice (\u003cem>see details below\u003c/em>)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon dried tarragon\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup buttermilk\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1-½ cup all-purpose flour\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Canola or rice bran oil for deep-frying (amount depends on the size of the pot being used)\u003c/li>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cem>For the blackening spice:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>1 teaspoon cayenne pepper\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon sweet paprika\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 teaspoon dried thyme\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 teaspoon dried oregano\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon onion powder\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 teaspoons garlic powder\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 teaspoons kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124103\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new.jpg\" alt=\"Cut 1 whole chicken into 8 pieces.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-124103\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cut 1 whole chicken into 8 pieces. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Place chicken in a large bowl and rub with blackening spice (cayenne pepper, sweet paprika, thyme, oregano, 1 tsp black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, 2 tsp salt).

Food","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>Though many cuisines have versions of fried chicken, not the least of which is the karaage found on virtually every Japanese restaurant menu in the U.S., the style that is the focus of this guide has its genesis in West African cooking traditions that first became rooted in the American South by way of enslaved African and African-American people. Chicken was a delicacy before World War II because of its relatively high cost; however, its fried incarnation was forever commodified in the U.S. by a colonel who shall remained unnamed, when his small fast-food franchise expanded rapidly through the United States in the 1950s and ‘60s. But take heart. There are plenty of local chefs still doing the tradition justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1961, \u003ca href=\"http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/archives/21373/\" target=\"_blank\">the city of Gainesville, Georgia, passed an ordinance\u003c/a> that made it illegal to eat fried chicken with anything but your hands, including a knife and fork. As recently as 2009, a 91-year-old woman was nearly arrested for trying to subvert the law. Here in the Bay Area, we’re for freedom of choice. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of recipes, I’ll go out on a limb and say: Simplest is best. The fewer the ingredients, the better, no matter what the pedigree of your bird. The 12 spots recommended here are divided into three categories: \u003cstrong>Down Home\u003c/strong>, \u003cstrong>Fancy\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>With Waffles\u003c/strong>. The Down Home group, as might be expected, has the highest number of entries, while the three “fancy” spots aren’t formal so much as they are trendy and upscale. And yet, they’ve all devoted significant energy to developing an homage to this timeless dish. The With Waffles category speaks for itself, and it’s the one genre for which time of day doesn’t matter. You can get waffles with your chicken for any meal these restaurants happen to be serving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proceed with gusto, and without thoughts of LDL cholesterol. You have many choices in Oakland and Berkeley, alone. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Down Home\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117236\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Downtown-Berkeleys-Angelines-does-fried-chicken-with-a-New-Orleans-twist1920.jpg\" alt=\"Downtown Berkeley's Angeline's does fried chicken with a New Orleans twist.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117236\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Downtown-Berkeleys-Angelines-does-fried-chicken-with-a-New-Orleans-twist1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Downtown-Berkeleys-Angelines-does-fried-chicken-with-a-New-Orleans-twist1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Downtown-Berkeleys-Angelines-does-fried-chicken-with-a-New-Orleans-twist1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Downtown-Berkeleys-Angelines-does-fried-chicken-with-a-New-Orleans-twist1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Downtown-Berkeleys-Angelines-does-fried-chicken-with-a-New-Orleans-twist1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Downtown-Berkeleys-Angelines-does-fried-chicken-with-a-New-Orleans-twist1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Downtown-Berkeleys-Angelines-does-fried-chicken-with-a-New-Orleans-twist1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Downtown-Berkeleys-Angelines-does-fried-chicken-with-a-New-Orleans-twist1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Downtown-Berkeleys-Angelines-does-fried-chicken-with-a-New-Orleans-twist1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Downtown-Berkeleys-Angelines-does-fried-chicken-with-a-New-Orleans-twist1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Downtown Berkeley's Angeline's does fried chicken with a New Orleans twist. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.angelineskitchen.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen\u003c/a>, a downtown Berkeley mainstay, is one of two restaurants I recommend for fried chicken that doesn’t give diners a choice of dark meat. The kitchen sticks strictly to boneless breast meat, coated thoroughly (but not over-laden) with egg and flour and deep-fried. The Louisiana twist comes out in the sides: sweet potatoes mashed with ginger and vanilla, slightly spicy and dessert-like, and smoky tasso ham (pork shoulder) cream gravy. Crisp steamed green beans save this dish from over-the-top decadence. Quick frying in very hot oil seals in the juices of the white meat. A bonus is that this is a dish that kids who don’t like bones in their meat will enjoy, especially with a side of hushpuppies and honey butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.angelineskitchen.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2261 Shattuck Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/ns8xUH\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 548-6900\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon, 5:30-9:30pm; Tue-Thu, 11:30am-9pm; Fri-Sat, 11:am-10pm; Sun 11:30am-9pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Angelines-Louisiana-Kitchen-286623082447/\" target=\"_blank\">Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/916489/\" target=\"_blank\">Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken ($16.99)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117241\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920.jpg\" alt=\"Lady Esther's has a way with homestyle fried chicken.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117241\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lady Esther's has a way with homestyle fried chicken. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lady-esthers-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">Lady Esther’s\u003c/a> is the newest entry to the East Bay fried chicken scene, but only technically. Louisiana-born Esther Clay owned and operated her namesake Lady Esther’s at various locations in Oakland from the late 1960s to the early 1990s, where she served such cultural luminaries as James Baldwin and Diana Ross. Her daughter Deimentrius, who made her own name at Southern Café (which she’s no longer affiliated with) carries on her mother’s proud legacy, serving a full Louisiana menu that includes resplendent fried chicken. The main seasonings on my perfectly flaky three pieces of skin-on dark meat were salt and pepper, straight-up, and I chose sides I thought would highlight the chicken’s spot-on simplicity: mac and cheese, collard greens and stewed cabbage, the greens kicked up with a bit of pepper vinegar. Each plate is cooked to order (and enough for at least two people), so be patient. It travels fine, but the only reason to get it to go is to pair it with a nice Cabernet Franc or IPA (the restaurant doesn’t serve alcohol), but otherwise it’s never better than just out of the fryer. Lady Esther’s caters to the downtown business crowd, so if you’re there for lunch, sweet tea is an appropriate substitute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lady-esthers-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Lady Esther’s Original Southern Café\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n300 Frank Ogawa Plaza [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/CmHEJq\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94612\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 548-6900\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 11am-6pm; closed Sat-Sun\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken ($17.99)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117239\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920.jpg\" alt=\"Fried chicken with grits and eggs at Oakland's Lois the Pie Queen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117239\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried chicken with grits and eggs at Oakland's Lois the Pie Queen. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lois-the-pie-queen-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">Lois the Pie Queen\u003c/a>, the storied restaurant in north Oakland adjacent to the burgeoning Lorin District in south Berkeley, had its heyday in the and 1970s and '80s, evidenced by the glamorous photos of international celebrities on the walls, most of them personally autographed. The original location on Sacramento Street was founded by Lois Cleveland Davis, and moved to its current location in the early 1970s. It’s now run by Davis’ son, Chris, and her granddaughter, Margot. Because the restaurant also does a brisk waffle business, it might’ve ended up in the With Waffles category of this guide, but I went with Down Home because of the kitchen’s way with homemade biscuits, eggs and grits. So, yes, fried chicken for breakfast. Come when you’re not in a hurry because sometimes the wait for chicken fried on the spot is a bit long. But it’s worth it for a traditional Southern breakfast, gussied up with fried chicken, soaked in seasoned milk, skin on, then simply flour-battered and deep-fried. Ask for all-dark meat, which is moister than the white, and extra butter for those grits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lois-the-pie-queen-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Lois the Pie Queen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n851 60th St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/rVmv6E\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 658-5616\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 8am-2pm; Sat, 7am-3pm; Sun 7am-4pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Lois-The-Pie-Queen-118166941529472/\" target=\"_blank\">Lois the Pie Queen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken ($16.50)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117238\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920.jpg\" alt=\"Fried chicken lunch at Southern Cafe on MacArthur in Oakland.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117238\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried chicken lunch at Southern Café on MacArthur in Oakland. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://southerncafe2000.com/#header\" target=\"_blank\">Southern Café\u003c/a>, perhaps the most classic of all the places on this list for its easy, Sunday dining-room ambiance, gracious service, and confident way with fried chicken. There’s a branch out in Antioch now, but the Oakland flagship is a magical spot for a big family gathering or an important business lunch. It’s not fancy, or even upscale, particularly, but it’s elegant in its way, with a focus on attentive service and general friendliness.

You don’t know there’s anything else going on until you take a bite and sense a hint of ginger in the batter, and the sides of baked beans and pickled purple cabbage don’t give away the secret. Furthermore, you can buy a whole bucket of fried chicken to go (eight pieces for $30)! The icing on the cake is the craft cocktail list, with choices for any time of day. I had the Y Tu Mamá with mescal, St. George’s chili vodka, cynar and grapefruit juice, and found it to be a sumptuous midday repast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/2016/04/21/check-please-bay-area-reviews-to-bang-korean-bbq-tinas-place-and-hopscotch/\" target=\"_blank\">Watch Hopscotch featured on Check, Please!

While it still has a decidedly Southern feel, it’s also got a local Oaktown vibe with super-casual-cum-professional servers who seem to be plugged in to their largely regular clientele—and a general air of leisure, the precise variety of which you want when you’re truly breakfasting or practicing the art of brunch. Aunt Mary’s fried chicken is of the “with waffle” variety, and it’s the second of two places on this list I recommend as white-meat-only, in part for the accompanying yeasted grits waffle. Light and airy, yet coarsely textured, this is one of the best waffles in all of the Bay Area. And you can get it savory-leaning with sage gravy or with agave syrup (maple syrup for an extra $2). But I digress. The chicken is a thin (perhaps pounded) breast, coasted with a beguiling breading rumored to include potato chips. I couldn’t get confirmation from the kitchen, but my server seemed confident about this proclamation, and my first bite confirmed it: crunchy, salty, dense without being heavy. The platter is served with a steak knife stabbed through the chicken like a culinary crime scene—or maybe a big T-bone. The dish fills the whole plate, and it’s almost a given that you’ll have leftovers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://auntmaryscafe.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Aunt Mary’s Café\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n4640 Telegraph Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/QPNgKp\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94609\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 601-9227\u003cbr>\nHours: Daily, 8am-3pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Aunt-Marys-Cafe-Temescal/210868242267494\" target=\"_blank\">Aunt Mary’s Café - Temescal\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/auntmaryscafe\" target=\"_blank\">@auntmaryscafe\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/813/\" target=\"_blank\">Aunt Mary’s Café\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken and grits waffle ($14.50)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117243\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920.jpg\" alt=\"Tanya Holland's deservedly famous chicken and waffles at Brown Sugar Kitchen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117243\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tanya Holland's deservedly famous chicken and waffles at Brown Sugar Kitchen. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Tanya Holland’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.brownsugarkitchen.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Brown Sugar Kitchen\u003c/a> is the stuff chicken and waffle dreams are made of.

The restaurant could’ve landed in any of the three categories on this list, but the chef’s ethereal cornmeal waffles tip the scale to the “with waffles” group. Crisp, golden, and light as air, the waffles are served with brown sugar butter and a brilliantly tart apple cider syrup, so the sweetness in the dish comes more from the butter than the syrup. The fried chicken is equally compelling, brined in a buttermilk bath before frying, and then finished in the oven. The only mistake you can make here is to arrive too late to get a table. It happens, especially on weekends, so plan ahead.

Chicken was a delicacy before World War II because of its relatively high cost; however, its fried incarnation was forever commodified in the U.S. by a colonel who shall remained unnamed, when his small fast-food franchise expanded rapidly through the United States in the 1950s and ‘60s. But take heart. There are plenty of local chefs still doing the tradition justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1961, \u003ca href=\"http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/archives/21373/\" target=\"_blank\">the city of Gainesville, Georgia, passed an ordinance\u003c/a> that made it illegal to eat fried chicken with anything but your hands, including a knife and fork. As recently as 2009, a 91-year-old woman was nearly arrested for trying to subvert the law. Here in the Bay Area, we’re for freedom of choice. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of recipes, I’ll go out on a limb and say: Simplest is best. The fewer the ingredients, the better, no matter what the pedigree of your bird. The 12 spots recommended here are divided into three categories: \u003cstrong>Down Home\u003c/strong>, \u003cstrong>Fancy\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>With Waffles\u003c/strong>. The Down Home group, as might be expected, has the highest number of entries, while the three “fancy” spots aren’t formal so much as they are trendy and upscale. And yet, they’ve all devoted significant energy to developing an homage to this timeless dish. The With Waffles category speaks for itself, and it’s the one genre for which time of day doesn’t matter. You can get waffles with your chicken for any meal these restaurants happen to be serving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proceed with gusto, and without thoughts of LDL cholesterol.

The kitchen sticks strictly to boneless breast meat, coated thoroughly (but not over-laden) with egg and flour and deep-fried. The Louisiana twist comes out in the sides: sweet potatoes mashed with ginger and vanilla, slightly spicy and dessert-like, and smoky tasso ham (pork shoulder) cream gravy. Crisp steamed green beans save this dish from over-the-top decadence. Quick frying in very hot oil seals in the juices of the white meat. A bonus is that this is a dish that kids who don’t like bones in their meat will enjoy, especially with a side of hushpuppies and honey butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.angelineskitchen.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2261 Shattuck Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/ns8xUH\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 548-6900\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon, 5:30-9:30pm; Tue-Thu, 11:30am-9pm; Fri-Sat, 11:am-10pm; Sun 11:30am-9pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Angelines-Louisiana-Kitchen-286623082447/\" target=\"_blank\">Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/916489/\" target=\"_blank\">Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken ($16.99)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117241\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920.jpg\" alt=\"Lady Esther's has a way with homestyle fried chicken.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117241\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lady Esther's has a way with homestyle fried chicken. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lady-esthers-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">Lady Esther’s\u003c/a> is the newest entry to the East Bay fried chicken scene, but only technically. Louisiana-born Esther Clay owned and operated her namesake Lady Esther’s at various locations in Oakland from the late 1960s to the early 1990s, where she served such cultural luminaries as James Baldwin and Diana Ross. Her daughter Deimentrius, who made her own name at Southern Café (which she’s no longer affiliated with) carries on her mother’s proud legacy, serving a full Louisiana menu that includes resplendent fried chicken. The main seasonings on my perfectly flaky three pieces of skin-on dark meat were salt and pepper, straight-up, and I chose sides I thought would highlight the chicken’s spot-on simplicity: mac and cheese, collard greens and stewed cabbage, the greens kicked up with a bit of pepper vinegar. Each plate is cooked to order (and enough for at least two people), so be patient. It travels fine, but the only reason to get it to go is to pair it with a nice Cabernet Franc or IPA (the restaurant doesn’t serve alcohol), but otherwise it’s never better than just out of the fryer. Lady Esther’s caters to the downtown business crowd, so if you’re there for lunch, sweet tea is an appropriate substitute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lady-esthers-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Lady Esther’s Original Southern Café\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n300 Frank Ogawa Plaza [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/CmHEJq\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94612\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 548-6900\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 11am-6pm; closed Sat-Sun\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken ($17.99)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117239\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920.jpg\" alt=\"Fried chicken with grits and eggs at Oakland's Lois the Pie Queen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117239\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried chicken with grits and eggs at Oakland's Lois the Pie Queen. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lois-the-pie-queen-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">Lois the Pie Queen\u003c/a>, the storied restaurant in north Oakland adjacent to the burgeoning Lorin District in south Berkeley, had its heyday in the and 1970s and '80s, evidenced by the glamorous photos of international celebrities on the walls, most of them personally autographed. The original location on Sacramento Street was founded by Lois Cleveland Davis, and moved to its current location in the early 1970s. It’s now run by Davis’ son, Chris, and her granddaughter, Margot. Because the restaurant also does a brisk waffle business, it might’ve ended up in the With Waffles category of this guide, but I went with Down Home because of the kitchen’s way with homemade biscuits, eggs and grits. So, yes, fried chicken for breakfast. Come when you’re not in a hurry because sometimes the wait for chicken fried on the spot is a bit long. But it’s worth it for a traditional Southern breakfast, gussied up with fried chicken, soaked in seasoned milk, skin on, then simply flour-battered and deep-fried. Ask for all-dark meat, which is moister than the white, and extra butter for those grits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lois-the-pie-queen-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Lois the Pie Queen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n851 60th St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/rVmv6E\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 658-5616\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 8am-2pm; Sat, 7am-3pm; Sun 7am-4pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Lois-The-Pie-Queen-118166941529472/\" target=\"_blank\">Lois the Pie Queen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken ($16.50)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117238\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920.jpg\" alt=\"Fried chicken lunch at Southern Cafe on MacArthur in Oakland.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117238\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried chicken lunch at Southern Café on MacArthur in Oakland. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://southerncafe2000.com/#header\" target=\"_blank\">Southern Café\u003c/a>, perhaps the most classic of all the places on this list for its easy, Sunday dining-room ambiance, gracious service, and confident way with fried chicken.

It’s not fancy, or even upscale, particularly, but it’s elegant in its way, with a focus on attentive service and general friendliness. And it shares with other restaurants in the “down home” category an affinity for generous portions.

The restaurant has a nominal wine list, so it’s beer or soft drinks for the win. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://touch-of-soul.business.site/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Touch of Soul\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n4336 San Pablo Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/hSymiw\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nEmeryville, CA 94608\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 595-1227\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Sat, 11:30am-10pm; Sun, 11:30am-9pm\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Chicken fried dinner ($13.39)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Fancy\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117240\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Hopscotchs-fried-chicken-with-baked-beans-and-coleslaw1920.jpg\" alt=\"Hopscotch's fried chicken with baked beans and coleslaw.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117240\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Hopscotchs-fried-chicken-with-baked-beans-and-coleslaw1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Hopscotchs-fried-chicken-with-baked-beans-and-coleslaw1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Hopscotchs-fried-chicken-with-baked-beans-and-coleslaw1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Hopscotchs-fried-chicken-with-baked-beans-and-coleslaw1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Hopscotchs-fried-chicken-with-baked-beans-and-coleslaw1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Hopscotchs-fried-chicken-with-baked-beans-and-coleslaw1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Hopscotchs-fried-chicken-with-baked-beans-and-coleslaw1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Hopscotchs-fried-chicken-with-baked-beans-and-coleslaw1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Hopscotchs-fried-chicken-with-baked-beans-and-coleslaw1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Hopscotchs-fried-chicken-with-baked-beans-and-coleslaw1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hopscotch's fried chicken with baked beans and coleslaw. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One of Uptown Oakland’s most beloved restaurants is \u003ca href=\"http://www.hopscotchoakland.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Hopscotch\u003c/a>, which has a menu of local ingredients combined in surprising ways that always work, often with a Japanese bent. While I excluded karaage from this list, Hopscotch certainly makes the cut because the concept is classic American-fried. You don’t know there’s anything else going on until you take a bite and sense a hint of ginger in the batter, and the sides of baked beans and pickled purple cabbage don’t give away the secret. Furthermore, you can buy a whole bucket of fried chicken to go (eight pieces for $30)! The icing on the cake is the craft cocktail list, with choices for any time of day. I had the Y Tu Mamá with mescal, St. George’s chili vodka, cynar and grapefruit juice, and found it to be a sumptuous midday repast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/2016/04/21/check-please-bay-area-reviews-to-bang-korean-bbq-tinas-place-and-hopscotch/\" target=\"_blank\">Watch Hopscotch featured on Check, Please!

No dithering over sides here: The exquisitely fried chicken comes with potato salad, field greens with lemon, and killer homemade hot sauce. Boom.

A bright tomato and pepper sauce traditionally used for bollito misto, it’s also just right with fried poultry, as it happens, especially the buttermilk-breaded variety. The chicken isn’t on the menu every night, but it usually makes an appearance several times a week. Because the pizzas here are not to be missed, I recommend ordering a plate of fried chicken, when available, to share with the table.

While it still has a decidedly Southern feel, it’s also got a local Oaktown vibe with super-casual-cum-professional servers who seem to be plugged in to their largely regular clientele—and a general air of leisure, the precise variety of which you want when you’re truly breakfasting or practicing the art of brunch. Aunt Mary’s fried chicken is of the “with waffle” variety, and it’s the second of two places on this list I recommend as white-meat-only, in part for the accompanying yeasted grits waffle. Light and airy, yet coarsely textured, this is one of the best waffles in all of the Bay Area. And you can get it savory-leaning with sage gravy or with agave syrup (maple syrup for an extra $2). But I digress. The chicken is a thin (perhaps pounded) breast, coasted with a beguiling breading rumored to include potato chips. I couldn’t get confirmation from the kitchen, but my server seemed confident about this proclamation, and my first bite confirmed it: crunchy, salty, dense without being heavy.

Holland brings her French culinary training at Burgundy’s \u003ca href=\"http://lavarenne.com/about-la-varenne/\" target=\"_blank\">École de Cuisine La Varenne\u003c/a> to West Oakland in the form of New Soul food, which is so delicious that she may have well invented the term. The restaurant could’ve landed in any of the three categories on this list, but the chef’s ethereal cornmeal waffles tip the scale to the “with waffles” group. Crisp, golden, and light as air, the waffles are served with brown sugar butter and a brilliantly tart apple cider syrup, so the sweetness in the dish comes more from the butter than the syrup. The fried chicken is equally compelling, brined in a buttermilk bath before frying, and then finished in the oven. The only mistake you can make here is to arrive too late to get a table. It happens, especially on weekends, so plan ahead. It’s walk-in only.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/2010/05/05/brown-sugar-kitchen-restaurant-info/\" target=\"_blank\">Watch Brown Sugar Kitchen featured on Check, Please!

The diner-like interior is brightened with chicken sculptures, prints with chicken-crossing-the-road jokes, and paintings of chickens playing chess. Owners Mark, Nancy, and Ryan Rogers have created a relaxed, well-priced place that’s very family-friendly. They specialize in chicken tenders with various breadings--who doesn’t like chicken tenders?-- and your choice of sauces from a long list, but they also offer a selection of sandwiches. A chicken and waffles sandwich featured two generous pieces of crunchy and juicy chicken sandwiched between two fluffy, savory waffles spiked with black pepper and green onions. A maple-mustard sauce sounded bizarre but added an appealing dimension of savory-sweetness that recalled traditional chicken and waffles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_109040\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-109040\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728.jpg\" alt=\"A chicken and waffle sandwich from Lola's.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A chicken and waffle sandwich from Lola's. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.lolaschickenshack.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Lola's Chicken Shack\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1417 Park St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/MmpnzPsChTB2\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nAlameda, CA 94501\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 521-4488\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sat, 10am-9pm; Sun, 11am-8pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/lolaschickenshack/\" target=\"_blank\">Lola's Chicken Shack\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice: $ (Chicken and Waffles Sandwich $7.39)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Marlowe\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_109046\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-109046\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812.jpg\" alt=\"The interior of Marlowe.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The interior of Marlowe. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Marlowe\u003c/strong>’s fried chicken sandwich, from chef Jennifer Puccio, is a classy, balanced affair.

The dark meat is coated with a crispy, thyme-scented batter, and a slick of Caesar aioli adds an umami funkiness. More crunch comes from the addition of romaine, and the bacon--completely necessary? Probably not.

It’s so large--two slabs of dark meat with a crispy caramel skin balanced on a too-small bun, with toppings spilling onto the plate--that it’s almost stressful to eat. But once you summon up the courage, you’ll be rewarded with an altogether satisfying riff on a bahn mi, featuring the chicken’s crunchy, candy-like skin; bean sprouts; mint and tart pineapple cubes that add a burst of sweetness. As is, it’s a balanced combination of sweet and savory, with heat from the jalapeno slices. But if you want more spice, don’t miss their smoky and delicious housemade charred jalapeno hot sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_109044\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-109044\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5770.jpg\" alt=\"Clove and Hoof's riff on a banh mi.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5770.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5770-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5770-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5770-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5770-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5770-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5770-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clove and Hoof's riff on a banh mi. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://cloveandhoofoakland.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Clove And Hoof\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n4001 Broadway [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/aE65pc1ze5Q2\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94611\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 547-1446\u003cbr>\nHours: Wed-Mon, 11am-9:30pm; Tue, 11am-3pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CloveAndHoof\" target=\"_blank\">Clove & Hoof\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/clove_and_hoof\" target=\"_blank\">@Clove_and_Hoof\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/cloveandhoof/\" target=\"_blank\">@cloveandhoof\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice: $$ (Fried Chicken Sandwich $14)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Rhea’s Cafe\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_109047\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-109047\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5817.jpg\" alt=\"The inside of Rhea's.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5817.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5817-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5817-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5817-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5817-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5817-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5817-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The inside of Rhea's. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The fried chicken sandwich from the chefs at Mission institution \u003cstrong>Rhea’s\u003c/strong>--James Choi, Jesus Cendejas and Humberto Cantu--is almost comically large, definitely the largest on this list, and features pieces of the kind of beautiful fried chicken you see in KFC ads.

The diner-like interior is brightened with chicken sculptures, prints with chicken-crossing-the-road jokes, and paintings of chickens playing chess. Owners Mark, Nancy, and Ryan Rogers have created a relaxed, well-priced place that’s very family-friendly. They specialize in chicken tenders with various breadings--who doesn’t like chicken tenders?-- and your choice of sauces from a long list, but they also offer a selection of sandwiches. A chicken and waffles sandwich featured two generous pieces of crunchy and juicy chicken sandwiched between two fluffy, savory waffles spiked with black pepper and green onions. A maple-mustard sauce sounded bizarre but added an appealing dimension of savory-sweetness that recalled traditional chicken and waffles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_109040\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-109040\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728.jpg\" alt=\"A chicken and waffle sandwich from Lola's.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5728-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A chicken and waffle sandwich from Lola's. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.lolaschickenshack.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Lola's Chicken Shack\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1417 Park St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/MmpnzPsChTB2\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nAlameda, CA 94501\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 521-4488\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sat, 10am-9pm; Sun, 11am-8pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/lolaschickenshack/\" target=\"_blank\">Lola's Chicken Shack\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice: $ (Chicken and Waffles Sandwich $7.39)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Marlowe\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_109046\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-109046\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812.jpg\" alt=\"The interior of Marlowe.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/05/IMG_5812-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The interior of Marlowe. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Marlowe\u003c/strong>’s fried chicken sandwich, from chef Jennifer Puccio, is a classy, balanced affair.

The dark meat is coated with a crispy, thyme-scented batter, and a slick of Caesar aioli adds an umami funkiness. More crunch comes from the addition of romaine, and the bacon--completely necessary? Probably not.

It’s so large--two slabs of dark meat with a crispy caramel skin balanced on a too-small bun, with toppings spilling onto the plate--that it’s almost stressful to eat. But once you summon up the courage, you’ll be rewarded with an altogether satisfying riff on a bahn mi, featuring the chicken’s crunchy, candy-like skin; bean sprouts; mint and tart pineapple cubes that add a burst of sweetness.
