Pizza & Chicken Love Letter - Los Angeles, California

Address: 3377 Wilshire Blvd. #110, Los Angeles, CA 90010

Items Ordered:

• Fried Chicken, with sweet and spicy sauce on the side
• Sweet Potato Chicken Pizza
• Bulgogi Pizza

Interesting pizza toppings, Korean fried chicken...sounds like a great match to me! My favorite pizza was the sweet potato pizza. It was like nothing I ever had on a pizza before, but it definitely worked. The fried chicken was nice and crispy and I liked that we got the sauce on the side to keep it that way. And the restaurant name - cheesy...but oddly appealing. Fried chicken and pizza...what an epic love story. Haha ok I'll stop right there...

Honey's Kettle - Culver City, California

Address: 9537 Culver Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232

Items Ordered:

• 16-piece chicken meal, 8 biscuits, fries, macaroni salad, mashed potatoes & gravy
  

Did you know that at one point in my life my nickname was "fried chicken?" That's b/c all things chicken, and especially fried are my favorites. I'm not sure why it took me so long to try Honey's Kettle but once I bit into the crispy chicken skin and revealed the juicy, savory meat inside I was hooked. This has really got to be the best fried chicken in L.A. that I've tried. Even better than Korean fried chicken and Popeyes! (:P). The biscuits were soft and buttery and so good with honey on top. YUM!! Also, I would recommend the mashed potatoes b/c the gravy has chicken pieces in it and makes you not want to share it with anyone. Even after re-heating the chicken in the microwave, it was still crispy and scrumptious. All I can say is: EAT HERE, IT'S DELICIOUS.

The Breakfast Klub - Houston, Texas

Address: 3711 Travis St, Houston, TX 77002

Items Ordered:

• Wings and french toast
  
• Katfish with butter grits & biscuit
• Eggs benedict

So you've eaten at Roscoe's in L.A., and you think you're a fried chicken and waffles connoisseur. Well, wait till you go to Texas and eat at The Breakfast Klub (TBK), you will be blown away! Instead of small pieces of chicken and a hard waffle, TBK serves 3 huge pieces of juicy, crispy fried chicken wings, and you can substitute french toast for waffles--although both options are sweet and delicious. I tried the catfish and SUPER BUTTERY grits too, and now I can't decide what to order for my next visit. The food is so spectacular here, but the bad part is everybody and their mamas know it too. However, I wouldn't mind waiting in line for some of the most delicious Southern food ever in the whole wide world.

KyoChon Chicken - Los Angeles, California & Seoul, Korea

Address: 3833 W 6th St, Los Angeles, CA 90020

Items Ordered:

• Garlic soy sauce chicken
  
• Spicy hot chicken
  
• Pickled radishes

The smaller chicken pictures are of KyoChon Chicken in Los Angeles, and the larger pictures are from Seoul, Korea. Even with an abundance of Korean food and fried chicken locales in South Korea, I still managed to eat at KyoChon Chicken at least 8 times in 6 weeks. That is because KyoChon is the BEST Korean style fried chicken I've ever tasted. The breading is crispy and the garlic soy seasoning is the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The meat inside is extremely flavorful as well. Caution to the non-spice eaters, the spicy hot chicken is really hot! Luckily the locations in L.A. do taste pretty similar as the chain in Korea. So bring a group of friends and get to eating; you won't regret it!
