"Housed in a distinctive blue building in Jefferson Park, North Branch has earned a reputation for excellent fried chicken that’s crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle. Served in pieces and sandwich form, it’s an effective catalyst for a mid-flight nap, especially with sides like cheesy potatoes and pit beans. Chef John Badal also adds a gourmet touch with burgers, smoked ribs, and barbecue nachos with pulled pork." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
