The Coop in Winter Park, Florida
As we were in Florida for Thanksgiving, we got to go to The Coop in Winter Park for lunch. This casual place serves Southern specialties with of course chicken, fried chicken in fact, in various ways: fried, roasted or even in dumplings. And if you do not like chicken, you can opt for shrimp and grits, fried catfish or meatloaf.

The way it works is that you order at the counter and they will bring your food at the table, identifying you by the number handed over to you. I had to try their fried chicken and picked The Coop Chicken sandwich that was made of hand breaded chicken, lemon mayonnaise, pickles, romaine lettuce in a brioche bun. The sandwich looked fantastic: for sure there was lots of chicken in it and it was succulent, crispy without being dry.

With it, I could pick a side and we chose Mac and cheese so Jodi could eat something. The Mac and cheese was good, quite creamy.

We also tried their biscuit that was delicious with butter, as well as fried green tomatoes that are always a great appetizer when going to a southern restaurant.

This was a very comforting meal and I would definitely go back to The Coop when back to Florida.
Enjoy (I did)!
