I am a Madison resident, and I often go to Louisville & Indianapolis restaurants Since discovering ChickiePoo's, it has become my mission to bring friends from Louisville to Madison to share with them the unique atmosphere and gastronomic delights of this hidden gem
I just returned from introducing my visiting British cousin to ChickiePoo's.
I always start with theiced Vietnamese coffee - which is brewed on the table in a cool little personal-sized drip-brewer which tests my patience, but is sooo worth the wait Warning- it is addictive! While waiting for the coffee to brew, we shared the PEI mussels appetizer, served in a large mussel-pot, designed to tilt so that the delicious broth could be 'sopped up' (as we southerners say) with hunks of thick-sliced, course bread. Then a break for a nice salad before a main course of scallops, fresh al dente green beans & some kind of wonderful brown rice (must ask Chef about it next time) We finished with one large slice of pumpkin cheesecake It was to-die-for...not the heavy (delicious in its own way) 'New York' style, but a light, creamy & oh-so-fresh concoction that celebrated the pumpkin flavor without being over powered by it. We left full but not feeling stuffed and soporific. The atmosphere is uniquely ChickiePoo's. My best advice is to go with an open mind, an open heart, an empty stomach and cash. Oh, & byob. Once you've had the ChickiePoo experience, you will be spoiled for life!
