James Bond: «Do you expect me to talk?» Auric Goldfinger: «No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to fry!» —-I have to say… chicken & catfish are fried and seasoned perfectly. This place serves these better than most restaurants. And the name ‘Golden Chick’ reminds me of that scene in the Goldfinger movie. Hence, the movie quotes. — - Pussy Galore: «My name is Pussy Galore.» James Bond: «I must be dreaming.» —-As I patiently study the menu on the wall and ask questions, the fidgety young woman behind me in line seems pushy. Pushy galore.— Pussy Galore: «I’m Mr. Goldfinger’s personal pilot.» James Bond: «Oh? Just how personal is that?» Pussy Galore: «I’m a damn good pilot. Period.» —-The friendly, pretty woman order taker at the counter who was answering my menu questions looks a bit like Moneypenny and is the same age as the owner. But their interaction at lunchtime was purely professional. Service here was genuinely cheerful for the lunch period.— Pussy Galore: [to Bond] «You like close shaves, don’t you?» —-I came close to ordering the grilled chicken with its smooth bronze skin instead of the rough battered fried chicken. And the chicken salad sandwich looks good, but …— Q: «You see the gear lever here? Now, if you take the top off, you will find a little red button. Whatever you do, don’t touch it.» Bond: «Yeah, why not?» Q: «Because you’ll fire the passenger ejector seat.» Bond: «Ejector seat? You’re joking!» Q: «I never joke about my work, 007.» — – Website says: «We started using the whole chicken tenderloin(the filet mignon of chicken) to make our Original Golden Tenders™. To guarantee great, fresh taste, we marinate our tenderloins, hand-batter and cook them to a delicious golden perfection.”— James Bond: «[after being met by Pussy Galore, dressed in a casual yet seductive outfit] Well, well, the new Miss Galore. Where do you hide your gold knuckles in that outfit?» Pussy Galore: «Oh, I never carry weapons after business hours.» James Bond: «None at all?» Pussy Galore: «[with a very friendly smile] I’m completely defenseless…» James Bond: «[after thoroughly looking her over] … so am I.» —-I could not resist ordering the«Golden Tenders», spicy, which are 4 gold fingers of chicken breast strips barely sprinkled with cayenne pepper all over, and on the side, cream gravy for dipping the chicken; and finally, a soft warm roll. … Oh yeah, and cole slaw.— M: [after seeing woman dead in bed, painted with gold] «You’ve hardly distinguished yourself, have you James? You were supposed to observe Mr. Goldfinger, not borrow his girlfriend.» —-My mission in coming here was to get grilled chicken on a salad, not fall to fried temptation. Anyway, the golden chicken crust is light and crispy over a moist, tender chicken strip. Of course it has fat, but the coating is not shiny.— James Bond: «[after Tilly Masterson honks her horn and passes Bond’s car, he restrains himself from chasing after her] Discipline, 007. Discipline.» —-During my meal, a worker goes around offering a basket full of more freshly-baked rolls. The smell was so tempting, and I have the jar of honey on the table, but I resisted, since I intend to go on a diet soon.— James Bond: «Manners, Oddjob. I thought you always took your hat off to a lady.» James Bond: «[to Pussy] You know, he kills little girls like you.» Pussy Galore: «Little boys, too.» —-It’s comfortable here. This place is in the country, and most of the customers are polite, even removing their hats(but not throwing them). The young kids are not too noisy, either. One guy has a handyman sign on the side of his truck, offering odd jobs.— James Bond: «My dear girl, there are some things that just aren’t done, such as drinking Dom Perignon ’53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit.» —-Many places don’t get the cole slaw right. I like how here the cole slaw is very very light on the mayo and sugar. A good mix that is healthy and yet tasty.— Q: [Showing Bond a tracking device] «It has not been perfected, out of years of patient research, ENTIRELY for that purpose, 007. And incidentally, we’d appreciate its return, along with all your other equipment, INTACT for once, when you return from the field.» Bond: «Well, you’d be surprised the amount of wear and tear that goes on out there in the field.» —-The(gold) bar where you get condiments and stuff has jars of honey and hot sauce bottles that you can take to the table. Customers can be messy with them, but these are kept clean.— [Goldfinger is cheating at golf, with the help of Oddjob] Hawker: «If that’s his original ball, I’m Arnold Palmer.» James Bond: «‘Tisn’t.» Hawker: «How do you know?» James Bond: «I’m standing on it.» —-Don’t cheat yourself. Come here for treat.—

In a town that is covered up with fried chicken joints, Golden Chick stands out for me. Not only can you get half priced chicken on Tusedays, but you can have it fried, or roasted. The only downside for me, is they don’t serve livers or gizzards.
