    One thing i really enjoy anout this channel is how open the host is to other types of food....
    Korean fried chicken vs. SouthernFried chicken, imo, NO COMPARISON. My vote: Korean.
    Mikey seems to appreciate the food for what it is....
    Awesome.

    Hahaha...... Mikey glad that you are able to make it to North Carolina. A little note is that Bojangles uses vegetable shortening to fried their chicken, however, marination time is 24 hrs. By the way make sure you get some of that good sweet tea.... Lol. By the way, I forget to tell you, so in the Appalachian area there is a place called 'Daniel Boone Inn' they have an all you can eat southern cooking. It's plate by plate based, but they will come around and refill you up on whatever you like. They are amazing....... But make sure you leave room for desert. Another great place to eat is 'Grandma Hoyes' in Bessemer City, North Carolina. Best time to go is on a Sunday, but early before Sunday rush. Good luck......

    Funny thing, i live in Maryland, and there is one Bojangles in the state (just basing that on the fact that I've necer seen another one) in Upper Marlboro, on 301, at Croom Rd.. My sister lived 10 minutes from said location. Her and her now husband had many parties at that farm house, and on occasion, I'd wake up, hungover, to the DELICIOUS Bojangles chicken breakfast biscuits....so AWESOME.

    Bojangles - My best memory while I resided in NC for a year. The fried chicken was perfectly crisp, with just enough spice to give it a bite, juicy and had big pieces as you illustrated. The biscuits were to die for and tasted as if they were marinated in butter.

      Dames isn't a hippie place though? Maybe the one in Durham is, but the one here in Greensboro has "I just left a (black) church and all the ladies have on big church hats" homey, southern feel. There's nothing hippie about it.

    i moved from san diego to Raleigh a few years ago, home of amazing fish tacos and mexican food and the only thing that qualifies as a trade off is the fried chicken in Raleigh/Durham. As Mikey said, there is something special about Southern fried chicken you can't find anywhere else. Even the gas station fried chicken here is amazing
