FOOD: GUS'S WORLD FAMOUS FRIED CHICKEN OPENS TODAY

Gus’s will open the doors of its Chicago outpost at 11am this Monday at the new Fulton Market roost at 847 W Fulton Market.

The Memphis-based spicy bird empire will serve up its signature made-to-order chicken alongside traditional Southern sides (make sure to grab some of the killer fried green tomatoes) and on Gus’s standard paper plate service. Gus’s is famous for its secret recipe, which only a few individuals know, that creates a surprisingly light and perfectly spiced crust wrapped around seriously juicy chicken. The restaurant also plans to offer some regional fare in the future. Here’s hoping we get some Southern spins on local favorites soon.
