Nola.com's "Best Fried Chicken" competition is a joke.

Look at this motley krewe of judges.


I respect Mr. Price, but this is ludicrous. They all look vanila. They probably enjoy the fried chicken at Piccadilly.

I will never acknowledge their "winner."

After trying Popeyes, Willie Mae's Scotch House and Mr. Ed's in Bucktown, we were ready to tackle the West Bank favorite Chubbie's Fried Chicken.

The Best Fried Chicken in New Orleans results will be announced on Wednesday, Sept. 17, the day after the last of the five tastings.

I'm white and drive 20 miles out of my way to Saucier MS for good fried chicken. I could judge the heck out of it.

Not too gummy
Not too dry
Batter stays on but isn't caked
Perfectly spiced where the spice doesn't steal the show.
Etc

You're right though, wacky looking group.

Meh, I think the places are good(except for Popeyes). Don't know anything about the judges.


Porter and Luke's in Metairie has a damn fine friend chicken.

It is sometimes so hot that the take out containers start melting. A little styrene is good for the soul.

Wow, really? If Popeye's is the best in the city that's pretty sad. No mention of McHardy's either?

I'm sure they put it on the list for nostalgia.

The only time I and most of the people I know eat that stuff is on mardi gras day on the parade route.

Old Jefferson, on Ellen street. Off of Central Avenue between Jeff Hwy and Airline. Great neighborhood restaurant. The chicken is the Tuesday lunch special.

It is a great place.

That girl in the front is a local burlesque dancer. Why is she a judge?
