Delia’s Chicken Sausage Stand (Atlanta, GA)

489 Morehouse Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30316, T: 404-474-9651

Delia’s Chicken Sausage Stand is a tiny place on a rundown big road in East Atlanta, which bills itself as “a food truck without wheels”. J It seems to be doing great business and it smells outrageous. It is set up to become a (local) chain, but so far only has this one location. They only serve locally produced, organic chicken snacks. There are few seats inside and a few more outside.

I order The Hot Mess ($6.49), a chicken sausage with chili, pickled jalapeños and ‘comeback’ sauce on a large hot dog bun. The dark smoky flavored beany chili has a quite spicy/peppery taste, which dominates the sausage. I also get an order of Sliders ($4.99), which look a bit like White Castle burgers (or Krystal, if you’re from the South). They are chicken sausage patties on a salty little bun and 'comeback' sauce (the only sauce they seem to have). The sliders are sticky and the sauce is both sweet and very peppery.

VERDICT: 83/100

Nice concept, but quite pricey and really only worth it for people who want to eat dogs and sliders, but do not (want to) eat beef or pork.
