Over the weekend a reader forwarded us a best fried chicken request and I realized our last thread was from 2011 and that simply will not do. It’s sad to see the recs of those no longer there (RIP Lawrence’s II et al.) Anyway, let’s refresh – where’s teh best fried chicken found these days?

“Dear PoPville,
I started researching fancy delivery options for an upcoming birthday, and all the listicles I’ve found about delivery during the pandemic are from last spring and summer.

Following our successful pierogi and Mandelhörnchen requests – onward with cake donuts.
“Dear PoPville,
I feel like all the donut shops have endless yeast donut options, but it’s tough to track down a cake donut in this town! Sugar Shack used to be my go-to, but they’ve sadly closed their DC store. And I know Krispy Kreme has cake donuts, but I’d way rather support local businesses right now.”

Best bars/restaurants to watch sports but very outdoors? Hard to tell what’s what with all the closures, changes in indoor/outdoor seating. Like where is the good outdoor seating with good TV set ups for sports?”
