The NYC FOODIE dish of the week is the Fried Chicken "Blue Ribbon Style" ($24.50) hailing from Blue Ribbon Sushi and Grill located in the 6 Columbus Hotel.

I finally had this dish after having heard about it several times since the place opened and is definitely worth all the hype. It is coated with matzo meal and flour and accompanied with a side of wasabi honey sauce giving the meat the perfect sweet kick it deserves. The $24.50 price tag is a tad steep for any fried chicken dish, but the crispiness, tenderness, and flavors of the chicken made me forget the price.

So for a great unique take on fried chicken, stop by Blue Ribbon Sushi and Grill and thank me later.
