A fun and exciting return trip to Lexington Market, following a quick (ok, not so quick) jaunt to Trinacria (see last post), we browsed around like tourists. Didn't know if it was bad form to bring in "outside" food to Lexington Market, but we felt we earned the right in the quest to finish the "holy list". Besides, that place is so busy, who would notice? Navigated our way to Tim's favorite fried chicken place, where he expertly ordered a combo of fried chicken livers and gizzards. Yup, he actually chose to order the gizzards. We grabbed a beer, because of course Coors Lite and Bud Ice are the best things to wash down your fried organ meat.
Sara was off the hook for the livers, because she doesn't eat poultry. Heather was hoping to pull that off, but, in the name of the list, held true to its purpose. After inspecting the entire container of fried "bits" she selected a small morsel of fried chicken liver. Confirming with Tim that it wasn't gizzard, which he described as "a little chewy". To her amazement, it wasn't nearly as bad as she expected. Of course, it was doused with hot sauce. But, one piece was plenty. Tim kept munching on the rest, until he too had to give it up when his jaw became tired. Apparently gizzards will do that to you!
Then another repeat trip to Faidleys (see #1) because one cannot go to Lexington Market without a trip for their crabcake. Tim added some oysters for good measure.
