The Classy Clucker
Presented by Chef Adam Dary

You know what’s cool with just a hint of spicy edge to it? Being the best man at a wedding and rocking a Tuxedo T-Shirt. You know what else is cool with just the right amount of spice? The Classy Clucker. Our signature fried chicken, with house-made queso, crisp bacon, pickled jalapenos, and a garlic aioli to cool you down. Put all that together and you have the blue ruffled suit you (or your parents) wore to high-school grad, in sandwich form. Simple, elegant, spicy and oh so cool.
