Dulan’s is an LA soul food institution with three locations around South LA. Our favorite of the bunch is their recently renovated flagship on Crenshaw, which has a big dining room ideal for a group lunch or dinner before a show at SoFi. The walls at this casual counter-service spot are lined with framed photos of Joe Biden, Janet Jackson, and various A-listers who’ve dropped by over its three decades in business. The true celebrity at Dulan’s, however, is the golden fried chicken. It’s a well-seasoned love triangle of salt, pepper, and crunch, and you won’t find a consistently juicier version anywhere in LA. A close runner-up is their smothered fried pork chops bathed in a black pepper-flecked gravy, plus sides of braised greens, candied yams, red beans, and complimentary cornbread muffins. Sit on the covered sidewalk patio if it’s nice out, or grab a table near the neon sign inside for a little more privacy.
