| - Drumstick roll here.... I've got something to cluck about. I was pecking around town and noticed that the burger joint that used to be on Cherry Way is now a fried chicken place. What a welcome addition to the downtown lunch (and breakfast) scene. The sign out front boast that they've got the "Best Chicken in the Burg!!" Now I don't want to ruffle any feathers here but let's get real; ever since George Aiken closed up shop there hasn't been any chicken in the Burgh. That sign should read "The Only Chicken in the Burgh"; and it's some really good chicken too!
I stopped in for lunch today and got a four piece meal which is supposed to include half a chicken, potato wedges and slaw. I'm not complaining but I got two breast instead of a breast and a thigh. The chicken was deep fried, super moist with a tasty, slightly peppery coating. The breast were huge but the drumstick and wing was average in size. Still though, it was more food than I could eat. On the menu you get a choice of a two piece meal or a four piece meal. I thought a two piece would be too small so I went with the four piece meal. I wish they had a three piece meal; but it's nice that you can go a la carte and get exactly what you want. In addition to fried chicken meals, they also have chicken tenders, chicken sandwiches, fish sandwiches and a breakfast sandwich.
The facility itself is geared more towards take out than dining in. There is a counter along the window with, count them, seven stools where you could enjoy your lunch. There's also two tables with five chairs available for those that insist on dining in.
So hey, don't stay cooped up in your office for lunch. If you can wing it, go ahead and get yourself some lunch or breakfast at the Pittsburgh Poultry Company. Then maybe you too will have something to crow about.
