Upgrading to full 5-star honors.
Having learned from experience that I prefer the chicken over the beef, I went for 2 chicken today, both with extra white sauce, and one with hot. I can conclude that the one with hot is the way to go. There is just such a good balance of everything in this pocket of goodness, and having tried out some competition since my last review (fuzz box, Ibrahim's), I can say with authority that empire is tops in this town in this category.
