After hanging out, listening to live music on Beale Street, I certainly got hungry. Since I was in downtown Memphis I had to go to Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken. It was crowded when I got there and I had the choice of getting my chicken to go, but part of the fun is eating there, so it was worth the wait.
The fried chicken at Gus’s is a family recipe in the traditional Tennessee style Hot Chicken and their recipe is definitely spicy. What makes their chicken even better is that it is made fresh to order – this way it’s still hot and juicy when they bring it to your table. It might take a little longer to get your order but it is completely worth it.
While you wait for your chicken make sure to try the fried green tomatoes (a southern classic) and the fried pickles. They are perfect for sharing.
They have several locations now in many states including Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, and Texas. Make sure to check out their website at: www.gusfriedchicken.com to find the location closest to you.
Enjoy!
