I really feel like Korean/Asian fried chicken needs to be considered completely separately from American fried chicken, which itself is a separate thing from wings.

Which they're all different from fried chicken sandwiches.

Fried chicken sandwiches and chicken fingers/strips don’t even count. If it isn’t chicken on the bone I’m barely interested.

Does a new AC convector count as menswear?

Mid-cycle snack at Cotton & Reed as per @lordsuperb recommendation. They switched to a summery ginger beer for their Dark & Stormy which was very well done.

Also, dude in funky sport coat!

Also, sincerely apologize for getting in a strident political discussion a while back. Tensions were high for me at the time. Drinks on me at next SF DC meet-up.

Was this about the fried chicken discussion? Did I miss something?

Many months ago.

Many months ago.

Ah, in that case, I retract any of my earlier apologies for political comments. I was right and everyone who disagreed with me was wrong.

@smittycl what were your thoughts on the dark n stormy? I think I’m going to buy a few cases of rum for mojitos and dark n stormys.

They apparently switched ginger beers for the season and now use a Passionfruit version. I was suspicious but it still had that great ginger burn. I couldn’t really taste the rum well enough to judge it. A bit small for a D&S but nice. In all fairness it wasn’t currently on the menu but they made it up for me anyway so it probably wasn’t the same as the ones you mentioned.

I still like the D&S at Nick’s on the Georgetown Waterfront.

Spent a great morning at the National Arboretum. Union Market was way too packed and nephews still a week away from shot #2. Came back to Arlington for some Burger District.
