Why Everyone Is Pulling Over at This Unassuming Florida Chicken and Fish Shack

Chicken Guy is the addition students have waited for

As a senior at Florida Southern College, I have watched the dining options on campus change almost every year. From renovations to Wynee’s Bistro to new food concepts, the college has continued to find ways to improve the student dining experience. While the loss of Steak ’n Shake may be disappointing for some students, I believe Chicken Guy is a wonderful addition to campus.

Shoofly pie, Lebanon sweet bologna, and Martin’s chips share shelf space in one small shop. The surprise is that the shop isn’t in Pennsylvania. I love that a single stop can pack so much Pennsylvania Dutch flavor into one modest room. Whoopie pies, pickled eggs, and whole pickles all compete for attention.
