I'm thinking of a new concept for a fried chicken restaurant.
>fast casual format >country atmosphere to keep the whites in/jigs out but nonetheless hip and modern >$10+ average cost of meal >very simple menu consisting of only fried chicken as entrees and a few select sides (mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, coleslaw) >focus on quality and simplicity of ingredients >location: urban TN
Here is the differentiator: GIANT, delicious, biscuit with every meal. Like 4x the size of KFC biscuits.
There is a huge void in the market for upscale fried chicken.

I live in downtown Nashville,TN.....This basically sounds like you want to do a standard chicken joint but is decorated nice and more expensive to keep non whites out (which im totally cool with)....and serve big biscuits.....anything else to differentiate it?
Maybe like Butchertown Hall but for fried chicken?
Lucas White
It sounds like nothing special. 10 Dollars is pretty cheap.
I went to a place like that in SF. Everything was 20+ and it was all white people and Asian people. I've never been so upset that someone fucked up collared greens so hard.

Ehh, maybe in Tennessee. Artisanal fried chicken joints are the new cancer here in arrogant coastie elitist territory. The Koreans started it but now the white people are jacking each other off about it. I swear to god half these places are going to be bankrupt by this time next year.

Elimination of jigs is your biggest challenge. Give me a jig-free experience and I will eat there regardless of mediocre food. Your challenge is steep.

Well it's good if well-mannered middle class blacks come but the presence of the ghetto crowd accustomed to Church's Chicken scares away people with money.

So we just making shit up today I see?

>jigs out >only fried chicken
choose 1 and only 1
Ian Mitchell
You see, that's why you know that if you want upscale fried chicken to be successful you have to do what you can to keep blacks out.
Juan Bell
So chicken express?
Kayden Ortiz
sounds like Cracker Barrel

Fuck off nigger I hate the overpriced meme fried chicken bullshit.
It doesn't matter how big the biscuit is that shit should be 8.99 MAX. There was this shitty place a block from where I work that tried to charger prices like that, hell they charged 11 bucks for a goddamn chicken strip meal and they closed down in less than a year because of it and I'm glad.
Overpriced fried chicken in the South has no point when you can just walk into Publix and get an 8 piece for 7.99

If you're going to do this, you'd better make sure your sides are high quality. Add fried okra and/or collard greens to the list and I'm in.
Lucas Price
Name it Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Jayden Perry
>$10+ average cost of meal
90% of your market just went to Popeye's
Easton Ward
dang, nice look up lolo's chicken and waffles. very similar except it's 100% black as fuck. they have a drank menu.
Jordan Perry
i actually went to a place like this yesterday before I started drinking. It was pretty much exactly what you described, but no biscuit.
9/10 would clog arteries again
Andrew Brown
What kind of biscuit? I vote for bourbon or custard cream
Liam Phillips
So you'd be Five Guys to McDonald's, except whatever you're calling it to KFC? That's cool and all, but fried chicken is nig food, burgers are universal.
Connor Wright
You're just gonna get trashy white people with money
Adrian Evans
Cracker Barrel is a sit-down joint that serves mediocre food to old people.
What OP is aiming for is Chipotle except fried chicken instead of burritos
