L.A. Chicken

After reading about L.A. Chicken on a couple other food blogs and seeing how well reviewed it was on Urban Spoon, we put it on our list of places to try and then promptly forgot about it.  Recently, after a trip to Ikea, hungry and in need of dinner, we remembered L.A. Chicken was close by so we finally got to check it out.  

When we got there, the place was far from appealing.  It was extremely dingy and dirty, both inside and out, a true hole-in-the-wall.  This did not deter us though!  The place was empty when we entered, so we put in our order with the friendly woman at the counter, and after a 15-20 minute wait, we had our food.  They fry their chicken to order, which means you wait longer, but I prefer that to getting chicken that's been sitting under a warmer.

Chewies Steam & Oyster Bar

A friend from out of town had come to visit and wanted to get some fried chicken, so Flowerbunny recommended Chewies, as they had fried chicken on their menu, and we've wanted to try them out since they opened.

There were 9 of us who came out to this dinner and they don't really have seating for a party that big so we had to cram into a smaller table.
We started with some Louisiana Rock Crab Cakes.  These came with mixed greens and a creole remoulade.  These were pretty tasty, lots of meat, and nicely spicy.  The remoulade added an additional layer of spicy flavour.

Dine Out Vancouver - Ouisi Bistro

For Dine Out Vancouver this year, we decided to try three restaurants we'd never been to before.  First up: Ouisi!

There were two bottles of hot sauce on our table.  I'd had Franks Red Hot many times, so I tried the Auntie Bev's Hot Sauce.  It was pretty spicy and lingered for awhile.

Refuel

I've wanted to try Refuel's famouse Polderside fried chicken for awhile now, so when we found ourselves on a Friday night without dinner plans, this seemed like the obvious solution given that it's only available on Fridays.  

 We were seated immediately even though we arrived without reservations.
