Fried chicken skin is greasy and delicious

I’ll never be a gourmet, because I will never go for the offal, the insects or the garden pests. And, I’m OK with that. There’s still a lot of good food to eat.

I’m guessing Commentinator ordered a mojito at Holeman and Finch.

I read in your column/article that:
Lance Gummere, executive chef at The Shed at Glenwood, loves his fried chicken livers after hours and “black coffee at The Majestic.”
I called the Majestic and they said they only have
chicken “tenders”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a devotee of friend chicken livers, would you give me some direction(s) of where to get them here
in Atlanta?
Thank you –

Buckheaddad – I’m guessing Lance likes his own fried chicken livers. It’s on the menu at The Shed at Glenwood.

@”Fried chicken skin … delicious” – I’ve eaten offal, insects and any number of raw and arcane foods and I can tell you this – I STILL LOVE FRIED CHICKEN SKIN.
Don’t confuse gourmet with high-falootin. They’re not mutually exclusive.

The Majestic USED to serve fried chicken livers. Very sad to hear that they have discontinued doing so. Holeman and Finch, Collonade, Floataway Cafe, Shaun’s, Mary Mac’s, Abbatior,and The Shed at Glenwood all have takes on liver.

Anybody that says Ru Sans is good sushi is out of their minds. I agree with VolnATL, won’t be going back to Rosebud.

I have no idea where the chefs eat, but I had the most amazing french frys I have ever eaten in my life last night at Leons in Decatur. I have never left a restaurant dreaming of french fries before this.
The staff said they were voted second best in Atlanta, if that is the case I need to try the best ones because I can’t imagine them being any better.

The sauteed chicken livers with creamed corn and country ham over toast points at South City Kitchen are to die for

Shaun’s has excellent chicken livers (probably where Lance learned to cook them). They also have the best fries in town! Period. They’re cooked in duck fat and are extremely addictive.
I really like how buckheaddad can’t read. Ha! Maybe he should have gone to the Dereck Zoolander Center For Children Who Can’t Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too.

Who can help with the best pot pie? I dearly love them, but have been disappointed with all puff and too heavy “innards.”

For those who think a place like Holeman & Finch serves inaccessible offal, read this: http://www.examiner.com/x-22925-Atlanta-Lunch-Examiner~y2009m9d30-The-Best-Burger-in-Atlanta-Holeman–Finch-Public-House–Maybe-the-Best-Burger-Ever

I was stunned to read that Ron Eyester said a different restaurant had the best biscuits, because I’ve been telling everyone that ROSEBUD has the best biscuits, and I’m southern from the 1700’s and know my biscuits!! I’m going to have to try Martins!

And before anyone gets smart, I mean my family line has been in Georgia since the 1700s, not that I personally have been here since the 1700s.
