| - There is something about the south that intrigues me. The Beach boys might have said it best by singing, "the southern girls with the way they talk they knock me out when I'm down there" or maybe it's the food? We'll come back to this shortly.
Today, I went to Costco Henderson to get some in gas, and then decide to take a new shorter route to Chinatown, and found Kathy Southern Cooking on Desert Inn road. I was stunned to see them, because I thought they went out of business from their old Henderson location.
I didn't do a illegal u-turn, but I made a mental note to make this my next fried chicken fix; The sad thing about this, that darn mental note mixed up the neuro synopsis in my brain, and told me not to eat anything in Chinatown. Slowly and surely, I was started to become like Pavlov's dog. The word, Fried Chicken, Fried Chicken was shouting out for third time in a week, and I could resist any longer.
Somehow, I made it back to Kathy's that evening, and gave in to the fried Chicken gods.
I remember the old place in Henderson, and this restaurant is a reversal of the old, and Kathy's has a bigger kitchen but less tables. It didn't matter to me, I got there pretty late, and was their last customer of the night.
I knew, what I wanted, and understood a fried chicken dinner ($ 9.99 for three pieces, 2 sides and corn bread) will take 20 minutes. What makes Kathy's kitchen unique is it open view of the cooking area. i was surprised that they make their mac and cheese by order, and not some pre-made sitting in a warmer. Service was good, but not Marvelous. (I just wanted to use that word today...lol)
After taking my first bite of the chicken, and I have to say sorry Flavor flav, you don't have the best friend chicken in the area. Mama Kathy just knocked you out. It wasn't too salty and was very juicy, and crunchy. Kathy's side are very good too, and made it meal to remember. I forgot to mention, the homemade gravy is to die for.
I'm very happy to find Kathy's again, but my age old question is still hanging there....is it the food or the way the women talk from the south? Well, for today...my stomach is saying the food. Maybe it will change tomorrow :)
