The Chicken Pie Shop

[goodolmike]

We had big plans for a fancy dinner last night, but our date had family obligations and couldn't make it. So, instead, we had an easygoing dinner at The Chicken Pie Shop, a San Diego landmark.

This restaurant, which originally was in Hillcrest (before Hillcrest "got all gay") and eventually moved to North Park, is 72 years old. And it caters to people around that age, and much older. The food is cheap, extremely bland and abundant. For about $10, you get a chicken entree, salad, mashed potatoes, vegetables, sometimes soup and dessert.

Mark had the fried chicken dinner (I told him to look excited.)

And I had the Chicken Pie Dinner with a side of split pea soup.

Inside, the walls are covered in fake wood panelling, the lighting is all fluorescent and there are little chicken statues everywhere.

It's a legend!

Hi Ed! See?
