Chew of the Week: Chicken Filet Sandwich at Columbia’s Rush’s

31 March 2021

$3. 90. Multiple locations. rushs. com. As a citizen from the Midlands, I can’t generate a lot interest in the surprisingly long-lived debate over which national string has the best chicken meal. It’s not that the sandwiches are bad. If you can stomach the particular politics, Chick-fil-A’s fried filet on buttered bun along with pickles is definitely tasty, as well as the challenger introduced by Popeyes is no slouch (especially if you want it hot and choose the bountifully flavorful hot and spicy version). I just have no have to seek out these and other brand new competitors — such as the one particular recently introduced by Zaxby’s — because this is Columbia, and we’re covered plan great chicken sandwiches through local restaurants. From the beautifully excessive filet-with-tender-to-level-it-out approach in Drake’s Duck-In to the pimento-cheese-covered behemoth down Main Road at The Whig, Soda Residents need not limit themselves towards the sandwiches that everyone else may eat. And even if you’re not really interested in heading downtown, plus would prefer to grab your lunchtime from a drive-through, you’ve still got the sterling option in Rush’s Chicken Filet. There are Luxurious and Club versions that will add lettuce, tomato, mayonaise, cheese and bacon (the latter an admittedly solid allure as Rush’s will not mess around with its substantial applewood-smoked strips), but this is a poultry sandwich that’s best liked straight-up. The chicken can be tender and not overly stringy, the meat well-flavored by local chain’s pressure-cooking procedure. The advertised “13 key herbs and spices” within the thin but effectively crispy fry coating are refined, but they add dimension that will opens up more with every successive bite. The simple buttered bun accents the filet without taking attention far from it, and the pickles put just enough to lend an intermittent zing. It is, in other words, the textbook example of the The southern part of chicken sandwich, and it’s fairly great. And it’s available at 9 locally owned locations through the Midlands.
