Restaurant3, Los Angeles (closed)
I wish I wasn’t hyped up about the fried chicken. Otherwise, it would have been a good lunch. But here I was, expecting mouth-watering and show-stopping fried chicken. Their menu features many southern favorites, so I figured I’d be getting some old fashion fried chicken.
I am a firm believer that meats should be cooked with the bone, since the bone provides additional flavor. You see it with chicken, steak, and pork, and even fish. But at Restaurant3, their fried chicken was boneless. When I first saw it, I was a bit disappointed. But I think the taste of the fried chicken was good, but not great. It had good flavor and a nice fried crust, but I kept thinking it was basically chicken strips. With my high expectations, perhaps Restaurant3 was bound to be over hyped. In addition, their lunch prices seemed a bit high as well. Its too bad, since on this weekday lunch time, the place was a bit empty.
Anyways … I really was rooting for chicken to be great, but it didn’t come through.
