Growing up, I used to think of a chicken sandwich as a joyless meal. That was until I'd met far superior versions of the classic sandwich at such places such as Fuku in NYC, Sylvain in New Orleans, or Hot Star Fried Chicken in HK/TW. Heck, even chain sandwiches, Nando's, Chik-fil-a, Bojangles, etc make a darn good chicken sandwich.The version at the News Room Diner reminded me of why I hated the dish as a child. Desiccate, flavorless, breast meat chicken on greasy toast with a perfunctorily limp
The version at the News Room Diner reminded me of why I hated the dish as a child. Desiccate, flavorless, breast meat chicken on greasy toast with a perfunctorily limp piece of lettuce is about as unaccomplished as one could get away with, especially at $105.
Beyond the chicken, the daily soup (vegetable) tasted canned, the side salad had all the life of a pensioner, and the service was spotty (one fellow diner's dish came nearly 15 minutes after everyone else's). At least the chips were nice - hot, crispy and well seasoned.
If the News Room Diner is out to replicate soulless, race-to-the-bottom American staples, well then; News flash: They've done a fine job of it.
