II worked with a guy from Barberton, a retired cop who was also of Serbian background. He passed away a few years ago. He said they have some good fried chicken down there also.

Yes, Barberton is famous for its fried Chicken...but it is not to everyone's taste. The not so secret secret is that they fry it in lard. And some just don't like that. My wife will not eat it.
But you have White House Chicken, Hopocan Gardens, Belgrade Gardens, The Village Inn. ( a couple did close down: Terrace Gardens

KFC was fried in lard back in the day (when it was still good).

That's the way my grandmother cooked and in her cast iron pans! Best cook I've ever known.
Years back as a treat I'd get a big bucket of extra crispy, a 12 pack of Strohs beer and a carton of cigarettes for grandma and we'd play cards......a really cool little woman!

My wife makes her Chili with a special secret ingredient.....which I ain't disclosing. But she will be entering it into My Kiwanis Club's Chili Cookoff on Saturday. Maybe she can win!!!

I'm with Canton Mike- no beans in the chili please.
Regarding seafood- I'm weird in that respect- I have one (of many) food rules. If it came out of the water, I don't eat it. Once upon a time I thought I might like grilled swordfish, but I was wrong. Way back, up in Alaska I took a few nibbles of my pal's alderwood smoked salmon, and didn't like it very much. I can put a shrimp in my mouth, and five minutes later, I'm still chewing on it. Lobster? Forget it. Vacationing with my pals in Bar Harbor I told them- "the only good lobster is a dead lobster". I'll happily cook them for you on one condition- you have to eat them. Just the sight of an oyster grosses me out. You'd think growing up on the shores of Lake Erie I would eat yellow perch that were caught only a few hours ago, but I've never warmed to that stuff..

Hey Larry,
Some day go to The Black Pelican in Kitty Hawk, NC. Try the blackened tuna or at least the "grilled tuna bites with salsa". I get BOTH every trip & even "fish haters" in my family love these. Both are very flavorful without a "fishy" taste.

Next time you make it down Texas way I'll have to have you over for Elgin Sausage on the grill Mike. You can eat it like a hot dog or you can serve it solo with sides. Either way it's good sausage from Elgin, Texas. Served with a Shiner Bock from Shiner, Texas and you're set to go back to Ohio with a smile. Nothin' better. All you have to do is take the straight shot up Tollway 130 about an hour from SA at 85-80 MPH (legal limits for that road with minimal traffic). Worth the tolls that they bill by license plate or windshield tag if your daughter has one. Be happy to entertain you and your family if they want to come along. Bill

Man they do have some killer chicken paprikash.... mmmmmm... and yes mjp, I get the sampler every time I go to Al's...
Big fan of Hopocan's for Barberton Chicken. Or Hodge's for a burger...
I guess I didn't realize you were so close....but I see...you are from Canal Fulton. Just FYI....as I said, I am only a couple of blocks from Al's.
Next time you go....you can swing buy me and buy me lunch!
Either at Al's or Hodges....another favorite place. Best burgers in town.

They have like one Friday a month when they open for dinner.
I always thought they should be more of a dinner place. As good as the food is it is a bit"heavy" for lunch.

All those old bastards try to assassinate you on the roads and in the grocery aisles with their cars and their motorized scooters respectively.
