  • So good, even Steve Harvey named it the "best fried chicken."
    Lucas Peterson travels to South Central Los Angeles in search of amazing fried chicken and fish. He finds it at a restaurant called CW & Chris, which opened in a small storefront just weeks before the Rodney King riots rocked the city in 1992. CW & Chris won the award "Best Fried Chicken" at Steve Harvey's Hoodie Awards on three separate occasions, and continues to serve up flawless fried chicken, wings, fish, oysters to the neighborhood.

    Seriously, if you want some good fried chicken you have to go to South LA. The chain only found there is called Louisiana and its some of the best fried chicken in town. If even the breast is juicy you know the chicken is good. You must try their gumbo and dirty rice with gravy. Good Stuff!

    It has to be said.. that talking about the how the area is safe and it’s the belief the are is not safe is ‘incorrect’ seems off to me as he sits inside of a business that has bars on the windows and bulletproof glass separating the cashier and kitchen from the seating area. I support any local restaurant..I have my own business and it’s hard..and the food is probably amazing yet you have to at least look at what you say if reporting and support it better.
