I know they are around in places but Churches used to be really good as well. My buddy said there is one in Chicago but told me not to go alone. I travel a lot for work and I got a half fried chicken at this place in Nashville and it was phenomenal but was close to $30…. And I can’t fry chicken. I watch cooking shows, I download recipes. I have electric fryers, turkey fryers and cast iron. It’s an art.
Churches/Browns is always good but they're almost exclusively in bad neighborhoods. We had one in a good neighborhood for decades but they weren't the cleanest looking place. People wouldn't go because it looked dirty so they closed.
