Charles Gabriel cooks the chicken in a custom pan the size of a manhole cover, one batch at a time, which is why it takes as long as it takes and why it tastes the way it does.
He has been feeding this neighborhood for decades out of a series of small rooms. The current one is small too.
What to know
Fried to order, so it is not fast. That is the point.
