Another Food Holiday

Whenever I don't have an original thought for this blog I turn to a national day calendar and can usually come up with a photo from my portfolio to match the occasion. The days for food are particularly easy as I like to cook (not to mention eat) and frequently take shots of what I have prepared, such as the sandwich shown above.
National Fried Chicken Sandwich Day occurs each year on November 9th. One source says that the holiday has been around since the 1930s and is a great way to celebrate the classic fried chicken sandwich. It goes on to explain that the sandwich consists of crispy fried chicken, pickles, and a creamy sauce between two slices of bread or on a bun. As you can see from my photo, I did not get that memo.

But, that description does match the Spicy Chicken Sandwich at Popeyes which is made with a fried chicken breast, fresh pickles, and spicy mayo in a soft brioche bun. I have eaten a lot of those over the years. But, I only have a picture of the bag they come in, not an actual sandwich. Go figure. Perhaps, it is because I frequently pair that sandwich with bourbon.

I hope that you celebrate the day wisely. Stay well and be safe.
