Deep-fried Goodness

After four long years, I've finally done it. I've finally gone to Miller's Chicken!

This local dive is somewhat under the radar for most newcomers. Located a bit down W. State Street, it's not exactley on the forefront of dining options for many locals either. For those who do indulge, however, the deep-fried comfort food of Miller's is a greasy taste of euphoria.

Looking over the menu - think fried chicken and sides such as onion rings or "potato chunks" - I finally settled on some chicken nuggets, a breast, and a side of rings. The nuggets were decent, but a bit on the processed side. The breast was rather small, but absolutely delicious. (Next time I go, I think I'll opt for the five-piece meal.) And the rings were as good as any I've ever had.

The dive also offers a great selection of preportioned sides such as potato and pasta salad.

Granted, Miller's probably shouldn't be a regular stop for anyone who values functional arteries. But for an occasional fat-riddled, mouth-watering splurge, this is a must visit.
