Barberton Style Skinless(??) Chicken

Most folks who have followed this blog from the beginning know I like good fried chicken. I've given a good review to the Hometown Market in Wadsworth, and liked the chicken that the former ownership of the Rittman IGA had sold. The Foutty's, who are the new owners, make better chicken, but that's another story.

What I want to post about is the chicken you can only get in the Barberton area. My favorite of the "chicken houses" is Milich's Village Inn, 4444 Cleveland Massillon Rd.
I usually order the four piece dinner-leg, thigh, breast, and wing. It also comes with two sides of your choice. I usually get french fries(piled high on top of the chicken), cole slaw, and "hot sauce". I put quotations around hot sauce because to me it's spanish rice with an attitude.

For a while there were several chicken restaurants popping up in the Wayne County area, all boasting "Barberton style chicken". They didn't last long. QWhen you're that close to Barberton why not get the real thing?

One place advertised "Barberton style skinless chicken", which made me say, huh? The thing that makes Barberton chicken unique is it's taste, and it taste's that way from the breading and the fact that it's deep fried in lard. So what's the point in removing the skin? I don't think about eating healthy when I eat at Milich's.

Well then Liquid,

You should go to Milich's. Just take I-71 north to I-76. 76 east to Cleveland-Massillon Rd. Turn right. Milich's will be about 2 miles on your right.

Will be worth the trip.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil
