100 BEST ’14: BUTTERMILK BATTERED CHICKEN at GENUINE ROADSIDE

Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich at GENUINE ROADSIDE

 

In a year of fried chicken sandwiches, this little fast food joint inside a hip food market sort of flew under the radar. Well, I caught it and it’s good! The juicy breast has a crunchy, salty exterior and is complemented by unexpected toppings like apple/celeriac slaw and a sweet and spocy sambal mayo. Price: $10.56
