A chicken sandwich found

chicken sandwich city beer hall

Lovely.

Ever since the Wine 'n Diner closed, we've been going through Southern Belle withdrawal. She was beautiful: juicy, crispy, fried chicken on a potato bun with mayo. Few lunches were better.

So we were very happy to once again come across the Southern Belle, though she's since moved north, and possibly attended college somewhere in Vermont (Middlebury, perhaps). The chicken sandwich on the menu at the City Beer Hall is everything we loved about the Belle -- and more. That perfect fried chicken, now with cranberry goat cheese, black olive spread, and arugula, on grilled sourdough.

It's no surprise the Belle would turn up here. The owner of the former Wine 'n Diner -- Dimitrios Menagias -- runs the kitchen at the City Beer Hall.

By the way: The City Beer Hall has the latest in its series of beer and wild game dinners this Thursday night. Tickets are $60. (There's another one in March.)

For a vegan alternative, check out the Buffalo Chicken Sub at Little Anthony's. So good!

I miss the sunny-side up omelet sooo much . . .

This sandwich looks AMAZING. I would like one immediately!
