Choong Man Chicken Revisit and the NEW CM Chicken

Sweet baby Jesus, this COVID shit is really cramping the Pouch's style... There's only so much fucking take-out, instant ramen, Jamaican beef patties and Hot Pockets this fat fuck can endure. Popeyes to-go is OK, though, I usually bring it home so I can make a filthy pig of myself in the comforts of my trough... No one wants to see this lardass eat in public. Children would throw up all over their moms.
I cannot go long without fried chicken... Especially, CFC aka Corean Fwied Cheekan. I need that fowl shit like Cardi B needs foul language. That twat may possibly have a bigger arse than me... I just threw up a little in my mouth thinking about that nasty skank in a thong. Can y'all imagine how that taint would smell... It's like dipping your finger in a latrine at Afropunk fest. Woof. 
We need to get off that subject STAT and back on the right side of the DMZ of South Corean cheekan... It's no secret that I'm still in a bromance with Choong Man, his chicken is so dericious that I would even choke it. Their original Duluth location has reopened for dine-in option but their chicken holds very well on take-out orders so it really doesn't make a difference. I don't go up to Duluth much anymore but since, I was at Great Wall recently to stock up on some provisions, I might as well stop into CMC and see if they still got the magic touch... They have a second location in Suwanee but that shit is way too far for this obeast slob to drive to... Also, they just opened a third location near GTech which means I had to check it out since it was closer to me. 
Enough of the mouth breathing, Pouch.. Let's get to the cheekan... So much cheekan...

First, the original Duluth location...

Tikka Soy Sauce Gizzard. I don't know if I should be eating this much offal but the crispy tender sweet soy glazed internal organs are worth suffering a week of gout flare up for... Still as good as ever. 

Garlic Soy Chicken. Damn, mofos... Look at that heavily glazed chippie... So gooey, so crispy, so juicy, so damn G U U D. Same as it ever was... This Talking Cheekanhead approves!

Garlic Spicy Chicken. Fuck me, now, that's how you glaze a cheekan... Liberally coated with the spicy garlic sauce. Squirt.

After consuming that much CFC, y'all would think this fat turd would take a break... Fuck that noise, I made a promise to my one fan that I will always deliver all that's fit to eat... Now, to the new ITP location.

The new CM Chicken at Georgia Tech took over that dump, Tech Taco, and before that it was City Cafe Diner which was even worse than Tech Taco... But now, they got something worth the drive. Shit, great fried chicken is always worth the drive. But let's take a first look to see if it's as good as the original...

Snow Onion. Don't order this on your first, second or third date... After the fourth date, you can basically fart in front of your gal or guy, so don't leave any onions uneaten... Trust me, dragon breath, it goes great with the crispy juicy cheekan.

Garlic Soy Chicken. Not as glazed as the original location but the flavor was still all there... I just like to lick my fingers and then smell them after eating my chick out. Didn't find any curlies, so that was a plus...

Tikka Soy Sauce Gizzard. I just can't say no to their fried gizzards... Yeah, it's that good, but the portion size is a bit on the chintzy side. I guess you get less for the convenience and to offset the intown rent... The cost of doing business ITP. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise, this fatso don't need 2 pounds of gizzards in one sitting... My gouty big toe thanks me.

These mothercluckers got their shit together at the two locations I have visited and I'm sure the upstate Suwanee location is just as good but do the hillbillies up there deserve such greatness? Fuck no... They should just stick to banging their cousins... Pump pump squirt with banjos playing.

Scoville Hot Chicken

What the fuck is the owner of Okiboru of the very good tsukemen joint in Sandy Springs doing with Nashville style hawt cheekan? Orientals don't appropriate other cultures' cuisines, only roundeyes do that... Those mooks will steal anything and pawn it off as their own on a daily basis or whatever the current fad is. Have y'all ever seen hamburgers, hot dogs and salads on a Chino menu? No fucking way, brah... But wings and fries, fuck yeah! 
Lookie here, fwied cheekan with hot sauce has been open game since the first yardbird appeared on Noah's Ark. These flightless mothercluckers have been bred for millenniums to be easily caught and eaten in a plethora of preparations... Shit, even Jesus had chicken fingers with honey mustard at his last supper, just make sure you take out the nails, son... It ain't just for kids and fat fucks watching football. 
But can a ramen dude make a proper hot chicken sando? This obeast cheekanhead will find out for it's one reader... I don't even know if my one fan is dead or alive anymore. Hopefully, I don't die from choking on a chicken bone while eating a hot chicken sando... Y'all, know how Orientals love our bone-in chicken. If y'all ever been to Macau, their bone-in Pork Chop Portuguese Bun is to die for... Yes, you eat the bone too if you're a tourist.
Let's go take a first look and see what the fuss is about... So, I checked the very limited menu online and the prices weren't that bad... $8 for sando, $10 for a combo... But let's see if it's for real...

The good old bait and switch... Old school sign on the wall says $8 for hawt cheekan sando and $10 for combo which matched the online menu... But then the order screen on the wall says $10 for the hawt cheekan sando and $12 for the combo... And fucking NO one questioned them about it... Not even those Yelp bitches. This fat fuck shoulda made a fuss but it was slammed in there and they were running around like cheekans with their heads cut off. I felt sorry for these mooks... So, I let it go... That $2 is your tip mothercluckers. This shit better be worth it... And I bet they will leave that fucking misleading sign up forever.

I got two sandos- Hot and Extra Hot... They have a Reaper level but they are never worth it in my experience at every hot cheekan joint. It's either some thick molasses gloppy shit or some type of dry rub mix that they coat heavily with after coming out of the fryer... Here, they use the rub but you can get a little on the side to sprinkle it on the sando.

Hot Sando. It's a very impressively plump chicken breast.. Definitely, trying to go for the girthy Popeyes chicken sando style. The crust is light but crispy, nicely executed. The chicken itself was pretty tender and juicy and had good flavor. The Hot level is nothing.. Maybe a little tingle on the tip of your tongue. But that doesn't discount the sando itself... Because it was a very good chicken sando as a whole... It fucking better be for $10. I would bring some hot sauce with me next time.. Wait, fuck that noise, for $10, they should have some damn complimentary hot sauces.

Extra Hot Combo. It's the same fucking sando but with extra sauce on it... It was like a sriracha mayo, geez. There was no difference in the heat level between the two except the sauce on this one ran down your hands and arms. The fries were the standard brown bag crinkle cut varietal, but they are good when it's fresh out of the fryer... If it sits too long, toss those limp dicks in the trash. 

Here's their Scoville chart... I can't give y'all any advice on what level to pick.. They aren't that spicy.

Would I go back and get ripped off for another girthy cheekan sando... Maybe if I was in the area and won $20 on a scratch off ticket. Or I could just go down the street to Popeyes and get 5 Popeyes cheekan sandos... Hmm, 3rd world problems.

Keep the change you filthy fowl animal... Squirt.
