Support Top Notch. He needs as much business as possible due to his property tax nut basically doubling this year.

Good to know.
I’ve gotten to where, when I want a takeout burger, I skip Whataburger and head the extra coupla blocks to TN.

The Stanishes were bigtime boosters for Anderson High, and as high school kids we ate a lot of meals at Top Notch.  Love the place and still drop by probably once per month.

I do enjoy the fried chicken but it's tough for me to pass up the Longhorn Special with onion rings...

The current owner is a native austinite and went to Austin High and UT. He’s a good guy definitely worth supporting. He walks the walk in keeping old Austin alive. He’s also a co owner of Lala’s and a few other restaurants.

Haven't been to Lala's since Francis sold it. The demographic seems much younger these days. Good for them, though. 

Back in my AMD days, co-worker brought in Walmart FC for a pot luck remembered it being pretty good and I believe they had 20, 50 even 100pc orders.  This was 20 years or so ago so who knows if it’s still a thing at Wally World.

Even I'm not cheap enough to supply WalMart fried chicken for a family event.

Randall's fried chicken is pretty good. You just have to be sure it hasn't been sitting out for hours. If you have a large gathering, you can get 50 pieces for $47.99. Just make sure you time the order right so you are earing it shortly after you pick it up.

Well, you could find out where James found this “tortilla” and everyone can share, might even be some leftover...

Could fit all 50 pcs of Wally FC on it.

If you haven't been by Donkey Mo's on Airport yet, I highly recommend.  Super crispy (twice fried?) and not greasy in the slightest.  I had the naked wings (no sauce) and they were the best fried chicken I'd had in a damn long time.

That menu looks awesome. I’ll definitely check it out.

went there a couple weeks ago and was unimpressed. chicken was fairly crispy but none of the sauces were good. i find bb.q to be vastly superior for korean chicken.

Was at a lunch yesterday where someone brought a box of bone-in fried chicken for Tumble22, spice level "hot."  It was damned near perfect.  Spice level was just right -- had a bite, but not distracting or overwhelming (yeah, yankees and euros might sweat and complain, but most Texans should be able to handle it with no problem).  Perfectly cooked and crispy, nice big pieces.  I was genuinely impressed, and it's some of the best fried chicken I've had in Austin.  I may get the bone-in next time we go to T22.

T22 has become one of my favorites.  I still prefer Gus's but it's much further away from me so I visit infrequently.

Ashamed to admit that I have yet to try Gus's.

My wife and I went to T22 the day before Thanksgiving for lunch.  I got some tenders "hot".  I'm not a heat freak, not by a long shot, but next time I'm going "Mo Hot", and bone-in.

I had a two piece dark meat box last week, spice level "hot". I should have bumped it up to the next level.

I could rationalize bumping it up one level, and would probably like that too, but then, I don't eat as spicy as I used to.  

I usually go between Dang Hot and Clucking Hot.

T22 used to call no-spice chicken “Wimpy,” but I guess they hurt too many feelings.

burnet location?

Yep.

To my surprise, it's become one of my wife's favorite weeknight "we need to grab a bite" places.  She digs a good chicken sandwich, and they have several.

I'm not a huge fan of their dry rubs, but those sammiches are damn good.

Only today, did I learn about this place and their apparently damned good fried chicken. This, despite the fact that I've lived in Tyler for nearly 24 years.  I need to pay them a visit and report back for the good of mankind.
