| - ***This review is for Luther's Fried Chicken***
From the comfort of your seat at this hip cocktail bar, you can point and laugh at those poor souls across the street at KFC. Little do they know (or perhaps they do, and just prefer not to spend the extra couple bucks?) that Luther's is one of the best fried birds in the city, bar none.
I've had Stockyards, I've had Harlem...and Bar Isabel. I've had what are considered to be some of Toronto's best fried chicken. And I have to say: for me at least, Luther's bird is best.
I'm a white-meat kinda gal, and the meat here was so tender, so juicy, so delicious...covered by a super crunchy, perfectly seasoned layer of crispy skin. TO DIE FOR.
For sides, I got fries and coleslaw. Next time I'd skip the slaw and try the bacon collard greens or macaroni salad.
So in conclusion, why did the chicken cross the road? To get its ass the hell out of KFC and over to Luther's where it belongs!
(PS This being a proper cocktail bar, I also tried the Cosmo Kramer cocktail--bourbon, Campari, egg white, lemon. Very good, but a bit overpriced at $14. Should've stuck with a $4 Grolsch.)
