Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken
At this fast-casual chicken joint, the Bromberg brothers — of Blue Ribbon Sushi fame — sell their famed matzo meal-crusted fried bird alongside eight different chicken sandwiches and sides like cheesy bacon fries and hush puppies.
And as expected, the Bromberg Brothers' renowned fried chicken is the main attraction on the menu at Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken. Prices range from $9.75 to $16.50 for the chicken, which is offered both by the piece and in special platters with fries and cole slaw. The chicken is prepared the way all fried chicken should be: crisp on the outside, tender inside, and with just a hint of heat. Though the special Blue Ribbon spice mix has plenty of flavor, the restaurant offers a vast selection of sauces and honeys ranging from simple wildflower honey to wasabi honey and a signature barbecue sauce.
In addition to a satisfying crispy chicken sandwich, Blue Ribbon also offers several standout chicken burgers. Served on toasted homemade buns, the burgers range from a simple patty to the more adventurous “Kerry’s Classic,” which plays on the sweet-savory trend by adding a slice of caramelized pineapple.
