A few months back, while in KC, my relatives took me to a dumpy old joint called Strouds that looked like it was converted from a house. Despite the exterior, the inside was hospitable. They had the best damn fried chicken I've ever eaten, and serve enough food to make Whitlock uncomfortable. I know the next time I'm in town, I'll desperately be searching for that place.

Has anyone else ever eaten there? Are they famous in town for their chicken, or am I just sheltered?

Isn't that the chain that Trezelle Jenkins owns a couple franchises for?

It's a chain? I would have never guessed from the place I was in.

Strouds is fantastic.

jspchief · 08-10-2005, 08:14 PM

So are they really a chain?

And if so, why isn't there one in Des moines?

They aren't.

So is that place in a bad part of town, or did it just look like it because it was night time when I was there?

They actually ship it there at night for cheap storage. During the day it is located at the Plaza.

Strouds is like three minutes from my house.

I swear they fry the chicken in heroin.

That explains why I have the shakes after starting this thread.

Responding to the earlier question.... yes, it's in a horrible area of town.

Strouds effing rules. It's not in the best part of town, but it's not in the ghetto or anything. It's like an 80 something year old building, and it shows, though. It's also not the cleanest place. I'm pretty sure they bribe the health department, and I've heard some stories that still haunt me.
That said. It's more than worth it. Go there early though, or you'll wait for hours.
