Pollo Campero

Had heard about this from a Guatemalan friend a few years ago - cult fried chicken. Had never actually seen one before, but can now say that I'm a fan. Don't know what's in the seasoning for the fried chicken, but it's different. A fine solution to everyman's fried chicken craving. The grilled chicken is tasty too. Not quite Nando's level, but good.



To go with these, we also stopped in at a Peruvian chicken shop called El Pollo Rico - apparently famous in the D.C. area. Grilled chicken - smokier/earthier and less flavourful than Campero's, but comes with two tasty condiments - one a mustard/mayo combo, the other cilantro and lime. Good, but I still preferred the Campero version.

To wash it down, the 2007 Hiedler Grüner Veltliner Thal - crunchy, crispy GV goodness, still digging this wine.
