 Crispy, spicy and hot. That?s how you?ll find the fried chicken at this Houston institution. Most people get theirs to go, although a few metal tables and chairs are available in this open-air spot. Sides include Creole basics like red beans and rice, dirty rice and jambalaya, all of which are... More >> |
