I don’t even remember how I found out about this place, but Bakesale Betty, along with its wonderful baked items, has apparently the best fried chicken sandwich. The store is only about a couple of miles away from work, I’ve been meaning to check it out and finally got the chance last friday. A couple of coworkers and me headed out there for lunch around 12. We got there just in time before the super long line formed. The bakery is a tiny tiny space, with no menus on the wall, only a few large hand-written paper taped to the deli cases. I had to order the famous fried chicken sandwich of course, and even resisted all the delicious looking cookies and cakes, and the wonderful looking strawberry shortcake. One of the coworkers got an egg salad sandwich, with a side order of cole slaw, and a couple of cookie samples! She was so lucky.

The sandwich was wonderful. The fried chicken was not greasy at all. It was just the right texture, with the skin crispy and yummy, and tasting almost like baked chicken with coating. The cole slaw was different than the normal mayo filled version I’m used to. It had a very clean, pickle flavor, with just a bit of thinly slice pepper in it to provide the right spiciness. The cole slaw also provided the needed moisture to the sandwich. Overall, it’s just good. Also, despite the term “fried” the sandwich actually tasted very healthy. I know, isn’t that weird? Must be all that cabbage.

And oh, I got to try a bit of my coworker’s free cookie. The ginger cookie was spicy and chewy, just like it should be. I’ll definitely be back for more.

This was the best picture I could get. We were eating outside and it was windy, and apparently iPhone doesn’t like windy conditions for its camera.
