A highly specialized topic, to be sure, but food critic Michael Bauer recently offered comments on an exemplary establishment in the area.

On my way back to Kansas City I detoured to the Chicken Shack in Bronson, KS, to check out their version ($6.69-$8.49 for three pieces and two sides), which I wrote about a couple years ago. It was also crisp and delicious, and I think I got a hint of garlic powder in the batter; I generally don’t like it, but here it was a whisper — either in reality or in my imagination.

Contrast this to Rutt's Hut, an old school Jersey hot dog legend. You can't even get across the parking lot without encountering pigeons who are so bold that they try to take bites of hot dogs from people who are walking to their cars. These pigeons are so brazen that they routinely shake down rats for lunch money.
