Bobwhite Lunch & Supper Counter - NYC

Fried chicken fans have a new destination on Wednesday nights:  Bobwhite Lunch & Supper Counter.

The Alphabet City restaurant's sensational special for two comes with six pieces of fried chicken, cole slaw, biscuits, a bottle of Lambrusco and dessert for only $40.

The special was put on hold temporarily as Bobwhite's chef, Keedick Coulter, couldn't find chicken in the immediate aftermath of Sandy. Now, the fried-chicken special has returned and will be served through the holidays.

Brined overnight in sweet tea, dredged in a secret mix of flour and spices and then pressure-fried, this is some of the best fried chicken in town: sweet and salty with crunch, juiciness overlaid by crispness.

And if the ease of Coca-Cola's fizz, bubble and pop were transferred to a red wine, the result would be the energetic and supremely easy drinking 2011 Lini 910 Emilia-Romagna Labrusca Lambrusco Rosato.

Dessert is a deep mason jar of banana pudding or pecan pie bread pudding, both buried under soft white drifts of heavy whipped cream.

So where are you going to be on Wednesday?
