General Notes
The fried chicken sandwich at Love Burn is quite possibly one of the best chicken sandwiches that I've ever had. It hits all the marks -- it's beautifully fried, well-balanced, and so intensely savory. It's actually really cheap, considering just how massive the sandwich is. Be careful not to go overboard on the spice, as it can get very, very spicy -- you're required to sign a waiver for level 4 (their spiciest option). My personal preference is level 1, even that is fairly spicy. It's situated right in the middle of Hometown Bowl too!
Positives
> Their portions are absolutely massive. Take a look at the picture of the chicken sandwich below -- the chicken is literally bulging out of the sandwich; it's kind of comical to be honest. It's probably twice as big as your typical chicken sandwich. The fries are a massive portion too, probably enough for 3-4 people to share. Be warned.
Dishes Tasted
- ★★★★ Fries -- Their fries are really, really good. Beautifully crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. This is the perfect texture of fries that I look for.
- ★★★★ Hot Chicken Sandwich -- Crispy fried chicken thigh served on potato bun, creamy coleslaw & pickles. Possibly the best chicken sandwich that I've ever had. The chicken is beautifully fried, flavorful, tender, and so intensely savory. The accompaniments add a perfect amount of acidity. I would have liked a touch more toast on the potato bun, but that's a minor nit. I would suggest getting their level 1 spice; it was the perfect level of spiciness for me.
