    If you've been listening to the show in recent months, you've gotten the lowdown from our favorite food critic Jonathan Gold on where to go for hot chicken, Nashville-style, and Asian fried chicken, six different Waze. If it's Memphis-style hot birds you're craving, hit up Gus's Fried Chicken in Mid-City. Don't forget the fried pickle spears, fried green tomatoes and a slice or two of chess pie. Plus, Jonathan's LA Times review of the joint.
