LITTLE SKILLET SOMA- ONE OF THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN IN THE BAY AREA

FIRST TIME I TASTED THIS FAMOUS "FRIED CHICKEN" WAS WHEN MY FOODIE AND "FROM SCRATCH" COOK, HOME MAKER AND BAKER, PIA R, (WHOSE LOVE OF FOOD HAS HER COMBING THE BAY AREA FOR EXCEPTIONAL CULINARY FINDS.)  TOOK ME LAST YEAR. ,  I WAS INSTANTLY HOOKED. SINCE THEN IT HAS BECOME MY FAVORITE GO TO - 15 MINUTE DRIVE TO THE CITY LUNCH BREAK FOR ME AND MY EMPLOYEES AND FOR MY OUT OF TOWN GUESTS AS A WAY TO SHOE AND LET THEM  EXPERIENCE THE HIDDEN GEMS OF THE CITY BY THE BAY..

LITTLE SKILLET IS LITERALLY  A "HOLE IN THE WALL",  YES LITERALLY, RIGHT BELOW WHERE THEIR SIGN HANGS IS A BIG WINDOW THAT OPENS TO A COUNTER WHERE YOU CAN GIVE AND TAKE  YOUR ORDERS . THE ORDER IS THEN PASSED DIRECTLY BEHIND WHERE THE "FRYING DEN" IS LOCATED . I GUESS ONE CAN CALL THIS A "TO GO" OR  AS ONE SAYS IT IN MANILA,  MY HOME CITY "TAKE HOME" COUNTER. THEY HAVE A FEW ITEMS AND A LIMITED MENU,  WHICH IS VERY APPROPO IN  A SET UP LIKE THIS.

THE STAR IS OBVIOUSLY IS THE FRIED CHICKEN AND THEIR WAFFLES!!!. I PRETTY MUCH DON'T CARE FOR  BISCUITS. GRITS AND WAFFLES BUT I  DO COME FOR THE CHICKEN  WHICH ARE COOCOOROOKOOO - LICIOUS. THE BATTER IS PERFECTLY SEASONED AND FRIED TO A CRISP, THE  MEAT MOIST AND JUICY. YUMMMM....

ONE CAN EITHER TAKE IT TO GO OR ON A NICE DAY, ONE MAY  LUNCH AND BASK IN THE SUN ON A RAISED SIDEWALK ACROSS THE STREET. A VERY FUN D T E ( DOWN TO EARTH)  EXPERIENCE.

  1. Is this the same concept as Mildred Pearce's waffles and chicken restaurant?
