Bobby: BBQ Chicken

When you think of San Diego and chicken you may think of this guy:
 
San Diego is not known for fried chicken places.  The common chains are scattered about here: KFC, Church's, and even Popeye's.  However, a new fried chicken place has opened in what used to be Flavor Thai on Convoy.  It is called BBQ Chicken, which is a little misleading because "BBQ" is commonly used as the abbreviation for barbeque, in this case "BBQ" stands for "best of the best quality".  BBQ Chicken is a popular Korean franchise boasting 3500 locations in over 37 countries.  I learned about BBQ Chicken through my friend Peera who is the "unofficial financial advisor" for this location.  Their chicken is cooked in extra-virgin olive oil, so its healthier supposedly.  The chicken we had was seasoned well and tasted pretty good.  I'm picky and don't usually eat chicken skin but this skin was tasty enough for me to eat!  It was served with some shredded cabbage with a tasty thousand island concoction on top and pickled daikon.  Their medium and large portions of chicken are moderately priced.  We ended up paying about $19 for two people.

Actually, I've always known him as the California Chicken. It must be an L.A. thing to keep San Diego down.

You know, I don't think they'd do very well in the South, as they call them selves "BBQ" but serve fried chicken. Blasphemy, sur, I say, I say, blasphemy!

yeah, that's true. They would probably make many unhappy with that confusing name!
