Lucky's Hot Chicken
You could pass through Waterloo a hundred times and you still might not know that some of London’s best fried chicken is just a short walk away. Inside Southbank’s National Theatre you’ll find Kerb @ The Understudy, a casual street food spot serving beer, tacos, and an excellent Nashville hot chicken sando. A deep-fried chicken thigh, slaw, spicy mayo sauce, and tangy pickles all stuffed between two thick slices of buttered brioche toast. You can choose your heat level, from ‘country’ to an extra spicy ‘good luck’, and pay an extra pound for buffalo or blue cheese sauce on the side. But this sando has more than enough flavour so it’s almost a shame to dip it into anything.
