Saveur (Issue #11)

Swimsuit season be damned, we're on a fried chicken tear right now.
For the past three weekends, we've somehow managed to have fried chicken for lunch at a different place every Saturday. And we're not talking your run-of-the-mill fast food chicken. We've been eating some quality chicken. In fact, we've been eating some of the best fried chicken we've ever had.
One of those meals was in Memphis. We touched down in the Land of the Delta Blues a couple weeks ago for Zach's stepsister's wedding. We actually have several good friends in Memphis, and we go whenever we can. We love Memphis -- it's a really great town, with some really great food.
People think of Memphis a BBQ mecca, and rightly so. There are tons of good barbecue places, and a few really terrific ones.
But if you think Memphis is all just ribs and sauce, you're missing out. There's at least one other must-have meal in the city, one that will just maybe change your life.
That meal is a plate of fried chicken from Gus's.
