๐ Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken: Nothing Was Bad?! ๐
We went to Gus's World Famous Fried Chickenโand literally nothing made it into the "Not Good" category. Nothing!
Comedian and improviser Dave Theune (St. Denis Medical, NBC/Peacock) joins me to talk about his first foray into eating dark meat, crispy fried okra, spicy batter, and the kind of service that borders on too attentive (but we loved it). The waiter even coaxed out my Star Wars hot take.
Is Gus's better than Chili's? That's the question. But when a fried pickle almost takes me out in the opening minutes, it's going to be a wild ride to the answer.

๐ฌ COMMENT BELOW: Is Gus's your go-to for fried chicken? Or does your loyalty lie elsewhere in the Southern fried pantheon?
