[@rumblefish9]

My problem with Korean chicken is that its very flavorful on the outside but not so much seasoning on the inside. The outside flavor don't penetrate the meat.

[@marywhisby6572]

I think JCT was the choice winner in this competition. To have a french touch to it, it completely looked southern and so did the sides to match not to even mention the flaky southern style biscuit. Yum....Yum😋

[@gillisjack]

I am very happy to see this review of Mary Mac's Tea Room. I grew up in Georgia, lived in Atlanta for 15 years and actually worked at Mary Mac's in the early 80's. The best part of working there was getting a meat and three at a discount each shift. I still recall the first time I ate there, several years before I would wind up with a part-time job there. On a vacation to Atlanta last year, I made sure to take my partner, my brother and my nephew there for lunch. It was truly the best meal of the trip for me. There were two women that were still there from when I had worked there way back then. Thank you again for reviewing Mary Mac's and choosing them as one of your winners. I will try to check out Busy B and JCT the next time I visit, though. I will just HAVE to find - or cook - some fried chicken real soon!

I know that a lot of people on here are a little dismayed by the cost of $23 for a 2 piece chicken plate, but it is about the experience and expertise that goes into each dish. This is the reason that this is one of the top places in Atlanta to eat soul food. I do not know anyone from Atlanta and loves fried chicken that would even mention KFC in the same sentence with any of these places. Fast food places like KFC while good at times, offer mass production products. The food at these places are fresh and are top notch and deserve a try if you visit the area.

Thailand’s version of fried chicken: crispy af skin from brined chicken meat, the meat itself should have a slightly bland interior but the batter is normally pretty salty, served with glutinous sticky rice, normally eaten with your hands. Oh, and we have sweet chilli sauce or a more spicier sauce depending on your taste. The weirdest bit, is that we generally eat it for breakfast.

Mary Mac’s looked righteous to me. Just because you soak a bird in buttermilk and season her dusting, doesn’t make for a classic crunch and yum to go with it! The seasonings simplicity of Mary Mac’s dusted cluck, the salted brine, along with the high smoke point of the Canola Oil I am sure is responsible for that crunch. Sometimes a heavy crust can weigh down the meal. And the candied yams topped with melted marshmallow looked divine! Go Mary Mac’s!
