| - I really, really, really wanted to love this place. I just moved back to the area from Nashville, and though I won't claim to be a connoisseur, I had my share of hot chicken before it's rise to national stardom.
Some of my complaints boil down to personal preference, like the level of heat (or lack thereof) and the idea that hot chicken needs a companion sauce (this is a thing of the North and it's gross). But really, if you're going to open a shop and exclusively sell fried chicken, it better be some bomb fried chicken. I've had it twice now and it's just not. Additionally, limited side options of waffle fries and mayo slaw are seriously underwhelming. Between here and Muddy Waters, they ought to be able to prep some more options like hush puppies, greens, Mac n cheese, etc.
It may just need a few more months to find its bearings, but right now everything about it just feels lethargic.
