| - If you are craving some down home southern fried chicken and happen to be at one of the most classy hotels on the strip, then go to Yardbird in the Venetian! Known for its fried and herb roasted chicken, this place will have portion sizes enough to feed 2 or more in just one entree. The deviled eggs were a great start to my poultry meal with a touch of salmon roe, this appetizer helped awaken my tastebuds for the flavors of the south. For my main plate, I had the "Chicken 'n watermelon 'n waffles" which was like a picnic all in one. The herb flavored fried chicken came in 4 pieces (breast, thigh, drumstick, wing), 4 pieces of waffle, and about 6 pieces or so of watermelon cubes. The fried chicken was very flavorful, well seasoned, and moist. The herbs were what really stood out when it came to this chicken's distinct flavor, well worth licking my fingertips;) It was very filling, in fact, the Yardbird encouraged the food to be shared by placing tongs on the plate. I was determined to finish most of the half chicken, but the food won and I was defeated with a leftover drumstick and thigh, "a leg up" on the competition if this were a case of woman versus food. Thanks to the hostess and servers for accomodating my family with their charming southern hospitality!
