You know, the boy just keeps bringing a tear to the old man’s eye. He just headed back to his place after a night out. Stopped by the chippy shop for a snack:

aa7f6997355be43f8d9e0b89b3ef91d3.jpg

That’s two fried fish, two fried sausages, and “a crapload of chicken nuggets.”

The top piece of fish is disturbed because he tore some off to toss to a street cat on the walk home, because he’s a softie.

I’ll say it. That looks horrible.

Left over hamburger patty, and biscuit. Just needed some Jalapeños. 20231015_131657.thumb.jpg.b2e7d5afa1d798db89dac7474e2e3946.jpg

Well, it’s Scottish fried everything, so….

Lots on this thread looks amazing. Not a fried plate of fried with a side of fried. (And I love fried.)

It doesn’t have to look good. It just has to BE good. Which a “big box of fried stuff” surely is, after a night of a lotta cheap pints of Tennent’s and a stumble home.

How is it that none of the fried chicken chains or LJS, shit, even JIB hasn’t come out with a “ A Big Box of Fried Stuff”?

It would slay.

That’s a start but I’m talking Big Box, Texas size…. Chicken, fish, shrimp, fries, okra, o-rings, hush puppies, tacos, pies, etc..

Yeah they get a bit more carried away with it but a lot of people in this country still eat absolute garbage. 

LJS used to sell the crumbs from the bottom of the fryer tray. They may have quit doing that. 

Still do but they’re free…..like a gift from the gods.

Buddy of mine is one of the owners of Third Base. One night MANY years ago, @Pescado_Rojo and I were getting our drink on there, and I called my buddy to see if he wanted to join us. He did. Came up there, made sure the bartenders treated us extra right, and drank with us. Around 11:00, he says “I’m hungry.” PR and I both say yeah, us too, but the kitchen’s closed. He looked at us like we were nuts, hopped off his barstool and said “follow me.” We go back in the kitchen, and he starts pulling an incredible variety of items out of freezers and fridges and starts dumping them in the fryer.
We walk back out with a bar tray covered in probably a dozen types of fried items. We ate like kings. We felt like gods. And the evening got even more interesting after that.

You’re goddamn right. A LJS fish and chicken combo with extra crunchies…life is good. Short, if you eat that very often, but good.

I still remember the look on the drunk couple's faces that had just been told by the bartender that the kitchen was closed and they couldn't order food. Then I cut my lip on a broken whiskey glass...probably broken by the bartender's diamond cutter nipples. Then it got more interesting.

WTF? They don't wrap that shit in newspaper anymore? The best part of fish and chips was sitting your drunk ass on the curb, ripping the corner off of the newspaper package, and reaching in and pulling out hot pieces of fish and the chips.

What is this "newspaper" you speak of?  It's 2023, amigo.  Should they wrap it in an iPad screen?

It's the thing that keeps worthless individuals like Kirk Bohls employed. 

They don’t put out a stack of Austin chronicles in the entry of the Tesco?

I'm guessing the gravy dipping sauce is "understood"?

Actually you’d need gravy, queso, red and green salsa, bean dip, lemons, guac, garlic butter, hot sauce, and sweet chili sauce.

Is Lisa’s Chicken & Seafood in Austin? They fry up quite a bunch of shit. 

There’s one less than a mile from my office. Their catfish is greatness.

Yep, & their tenders are better than the bone-in chicken. Like everywhere else, their prices have jumped quite a bit since 'Rona. 

They drop those cheap frozen burritos in the fryer too. 

The tenders doused in their hot sauce packets is greatness as well.

I’ve taken down a few things like that in my time. Condiments help.

There’s not a single element of this that is not a masterpiece. Well done.
