  • I could give them a 5 alone for the single thing I had ordered here to eat in my one and only visit to the place because I was THAT impressed. Friday afternoon a bit of a late lunch mid afternoon and my Yelp buddy Colin and I came here while on a Queen West crawl for some real sit down food. To start off this place is kind of tiny yes. They say they have events inside with parties hosting dozens but I look at the space and I can't see how you can fit that many people in here but they do one way or another and as long as they aren't breaking the law it's all good. Now on the the food... The table is a thick wooden chopping block type of surface with a thick and solid feel to it. When we had ordered drinks and the KFC for two little did I know what was in store. For those that aren't aware these days KFC is commonly known as "Kentucky Fried Chicken" you know that Colonel Sanders place where the cole slaw is the color of pistachio ice cream and the macaroni salad is neon orange (colors inspired by Gatorade perhaps?). NO. Hell no am I talking about that KFC. KFC is for Korean Fried Chicken which has these days taken over my whole fried chicken desire both gladly and sadly at the same time. I can't keep eating this dish with such frequency. I grow worrisome about my health!. Still if you're going to indulge yourself with deep fried chicken and you do it as (cough) occasionally as I do consider the Country General as one of your next stops to partake in a completely unhealthy way to cook such a delectable dish. So back to our cutting board kind of table... our server comes over and brings this parchment paper type of covering for our table and I'm thinking... OK I mean sure I can be messy but it's not like I have a coaster for my drink and I'm not THAT messy. This table is wood ok so he just wants to protect it... ok no worries mate it's all good I just wasn't expecting a piece of paper on our table after we were seated - NO biggie. Then our server returns with our "KFC for Two"... he's holding a tray with 2 plates of chicken and all these garnishes and stuff. At this point I'm just expecting him to place the plates of chicken down on the paper and we're about to help outselves to the food and in the back of my mind I'm thinking that hey, we don't have any side plates... then BOOM!... buddy dumps the plate on to the table, just right onto the paper in the middle of us both... shaking the plate to make sure all the sauce comes off and then grabs the 2nd plate and then BOOM also dumps that plate on the the middle of the table. He then goes on to start sprinkling sesame seeds all over the chicken and then grabs some sort of other purple chopped vegetable (he said what it was but I think I was too blown away to absorb what it was) and then shakes something green and leafy on top and then grabs a squeeze bottle of green stuff and starts drizzling our mound of chicken that's on the table and also giving us each a healthy squeeze swirl of sauce each at the end. I was like Whiskey Tango Foxtrot just happened? I just witnessed something I've not seen before at any other restaurant happen at this tiny little bar at the corner of Shaw and Queen. It was like watching an artist put together an abstract in under a minute right in front of me. The last few artistic squirts of sauce actually came pretty close to my phone but what a show even if it was more of a skit. I was so shocked to see what just happened I had almost forgot we had to eat. The chicken came in two different flavors while one was spicier the other was sweeter but both were good. There was 2 drum sticks and 2 unsplit wings in the process so it's like split an entire chicken but those were the only bones we had to deal with as the rest was boneless. It wasn't super filling but wow for 38 bucks and the tastes and presentation it's like something just so amazing and cool for a small bar. Honestly I wasn't expecting to be served like that but it was a most pleasant surprise and it wasn't all glitz, the food was really good too. Normally I'm against having KFC with such a quantity of sauce but the flavor made up for it. The chicken itself wasn't overly crunchy as most KFC places make it whether thinly battered or with a thicker version this version was more the taste and mix of ingredients than the crisp of the chicken itself which in itself isn't exactly what I've seen in my past experiences with KFC but this was definitely the most unique attempt at putting something out there that's WAY different from everything else out there with the taste of the dish to back it up. The County General is trying to get their lunch on these days. They have a loyalty card and offer 10 dollar specials for lunch as well. While they have 2 locations on Queen, this one we went to is on the west side and the other is on the east side. At this point if you called heads or tails you'd win either way. Cool idea... good food and service.
