The Spot: The Crack Shack, 2266 Kettner Blvd, San Diego, CA 92101 (A.K.A: Little Italy)

The Menu: Admittedly, The Crack Shack is a little cocky - and they have every right to be. It's not your average resturant and it's definitely not your average fried chicken. CEO Michael Rosen and celebrity-chef Richard Blais have translated their bold and brazen vision through a culmination of a meticulously prepared menu and their signature “crack spice” – a proprietary blend of spices that adds a clucking amazing flare to the fare! Not to mention, you can go to this coop knowing that you're savoring (sorry) every bite of locally raised, free-living chickens without a care or antibiotic in them—just as they should be.

What to Order: The fried chicken and fries. My personal favorite? The G bird, but substitue the grilled chicken for *fried* chicken.

What to Wear: Casual.

Who to Bring: Lunch or dinner.

Instagram-able: The Crack Shack embodies the sunny so-cal spirit with it's spacious and stylish outdoor seating, full bar of craft beverages & lawn games.

Extra: Street parking available
