By the time we got to dessert (berry cobbler), we'd flip-flopped on our favorites so much that we settled on a draw. At first, I was more partial to the Peacock recipe—it was slightly moister, with a lighter crust, and it looked like Sunday lunch. But the Keller chicken kept holding its own on the plate, gorgeous and still crunchy, until even the most fiercely loyal and nostalgic among us were forced to hand it to him—and to keep on eating.

    Hello -
    I am a filmmaker in Atlanta. I just wanted to let you know I produced a 21 minute documentary about Miss Edna Lewis. The film is called "Fried Chicken and Sweet Potato Pie".
    It is viewable in its entirety on Internet at a Gourmet Magazine website:

    My website, http://bbarash.com/bb_friedchicken.htm has more information about the film and the story of Miss Lewis.

    Sincerely,
    Bailey Barash

    Blasphemy! You don't drink wine with fried chicken, you drink sweet tea!
