last night was definitely a trip. a bunch of us were at flip's having a good time and the subject of "bobo's chicken" came up. i was a little upset that, being a huge fan of fried chicken, i had never heard of such a magical place. stories of fried chicken wings fresh out of the greaser, french fries doused in honey and little nuggets of fry bread deliciousness were exchanged with true excitement. and then the real story surfaced... you may get shot at bobo's. your life may end. the men would go fetch the chicken with bullets skimming by their heads while i sat in the car and minded my own business. and no, they do not take visa. ok so they thoroughly scared the hell out of me that i was going to lose my life at this gagsta trailer hooked up to a truck on the corner of 23rd & MLK blvd (which, by the way, is only open from like midnight to 5am).. but it was decided that we would, in fact, go to bobo's.
fast forward 2 hours... we cram in the car, AJ crammed in the very back of the 4runner because there are so many of us dying for some chick'n. we drive down 23rd... and if you know okc you know the moment you drive past the capitol you are in serious ghettoville. we pull up to bobo's soon after... seriously, you have to see this place. i was scared. it was this huge red trailer that they sell the chicken out of. there were these bright flood lights illuminating the whole place... which was filled with cars but only 10 people or so were actually standing in line. the rest of the people were just sitting in their cars, most of which i think were probably devouring a honey covered mess in the drivers seat. anyway, the boys went and got the chicken, and we hurried the hell out of there. it was such a hardcore place, and there is no doubt of its 'urban' status.
the chicken: i think i'll call it fry fest '09, seriously, i don't think i've ever seen 5 men consume chicken like this. once the styrofoam containers were ripped open all you could hear were moans of pleasure and smacking lips filled with chickn grease. it was fantastic.
the chicken was good. it was really smokey... i don't know, try it for yourself (disclaimer: not my fault if you get shot). i still personally like eischen's better. it really isn't comparable to eischen's because it tastes totally different. the guys were really loving it though. it was a hilarious night though
