When you get a sandwich at a deli, or some fried chicken at Fiorella’s in the French Quarter, when do you eat the pickle? Before? With your sandwich? After doesn’t seem right…I mean, a pickle is a weird dessert…

Speaking of Fiorella’s (click for yelp page on them) I have to vote them as the best fried chicken in New Orleans. I know you usually hear Willie Mae’s Scotch House (yelp link) has the best fried chicken in New Orleans. And I’ve heard a vote for Coop’s as well.

I can’t say I am a friend chicken expert, but I’ve had my share. Fiorella’s is the best. Slightly spicy, cooked to order, crispy and juicy. Oh my.
