My Superbowl post about drumsticks reminded me about a recent visit Gus and I made to Hill Country Chicken, a newish fried chicken joint (rather oddly) situated on Broadway and 25th in the Flatiron District. After unexpectedly falling for the fried chicken and biscuits at Pies 'N Thighs over the summer (see Summer Round-up: Part II), I was anxious to check out this "cafeteria-style" restaurant inspired by the Texas-style home cooking of the owner's grandmothers: Betty, the pie-maker, and Mamma Els, the queen of "buttermilk-brined" fried chicken.
