As promised in print, here are the notes on the restaurants from my fried chicken search not prominently mentioned in either the article or my list of favorites. (I'm leaving out Ajisen, Massey's, Nate's Seafood, Plus One Chicken and Zyka, since I said pretty much everything I had to offer about them in the story.)

One thing I'd love to hear from y'all about is places you think I missed on my hunt. Fried chicken is an enduring obsession to mine, and an online follow-up report of visits to places I missed this round seems probable if I get some good suggestions. Rudy's Chicken and Hall's Chicken Shack have already been brought to my attention ...

On Monday, I'll dish a bit about some exceptional sides I ate alongside the many plates of browned bird, and also offer some thoughts on fried chicken from a more national perspective - including some quotes from John T. Edge, author of Fried Chicken: An American Story - that got cut due to space constraints.

Pictured above: Chicharron de pollo at La Cubanita

That's right: Bill ate fried chicken almost every day for a month. He explains: "Over the last month, I visited nearly 30 Dallas-Fort Worth area restaurants that serve fried chicken. The range of styles and settings in many ways reflects national trends and attitudes toward the browned bird. Chicken-fried steak will always be the king of battered proteins in Texas, but the diversity of local fried chicken reveals an enduring love for this dish, past and present. It also offers a taste of its multicultural future." From Seoul food to soul food, chicharron de pollo to "Grandma Minnie's fried chicken," he ate it all. Here it is: Bill's fried chicken roundup.

In the coming days, he'll be here at Eats offering additional tasting notes, a roundup of favorite side dishes and other features. In the meantime, share your favorite fried chicken place. Whether it's traditional Southern or South American, we want to know where you go.

Eats readers confessed their love affairs with the Tex-Mex combo plate last month when we asked, Who has the best Tex-Mex in Dallas? Now it's Restaurant Critic Bill Addison's turn. In his latest Diner's Notebook column, he chronicles the beginnings of his quest for knowledge about Dallas' best Tex-Mex. He shares those adventures here: Deep in the heart of Tex-Mex. I know you're going to tell us what you think. But Bill has a special request: "So I pose these questions: Tell me not only where I should eat my next Tex-Mex meal, but what specifically I should order there to make me a convert. A special shout-out to Rafa's and Ojeda's die-hards: What did I miss?"
