Seattle’s own Ezell’s Famous Chicken is in the running for
the title of “Most Life-Changing Fried Chicken.”

Esquire Magazine
asked readers to name their most life-changing
commercial fried chicken purveyors. Ezell’s in Seattle was
among the top submissions and has been included in an
online poll open to readers’ votes.

“I love Ezell’s,” 97.3 KIRO FM’s Dori Monson told his
audience, after spotting Ezell’s on the list. “Ezell’s one
year made me fat.”

Monson said he once gained 20 pounds during a period where
he frequented the restaurant a couple times a week.

“Ezell’s is a good once a quarter place for me [now],”
said Monson, still encouraging listeners to vote for the
Seattle chicken spot.

Ezell’s currently ranks second in the online poll behind
Price’s Chicken Coop in North Carolina.

Esquire editors note the chicken fryers ranked in the top
ten tend to be southern. Ezell’s is the only Northwest
candidate for best chicken.
