The "Downtown Chicken Sandwich Snackdown" is here, and it is quite a tasty competition!

The gist of the competition is pretty straight-forward: who in Lafayette's Downtown area has the best chicken sandwich?

15 of Lafayette's Downtown restaurants are participating in the event, which is also a fundraiser for Downtown Lafayette Unlimited (DLU), the organization that puts on events like ArtWalk, Movies in the Parc, and Downtown Alive! For every chicken sandwich sold at any of these 15 restaurants, $1 is donated to DLU. So you get a great sandwich, and Acadiana gets to keep enjoying the free events Downtown Lafayette is known for.

(So far, Pop's Poboys' "John Cho-Boy" is my favorite, followed by Johnson's Boucaniere's "The Rex Thigh-Kwando".)

Fly out to one of these great restaurants, feather up to the bar, and peck away at a delicious chicken sandwich (or "wrap", or "handheld", or whatever one may call the dish) and help out DLU while supporting local businesses.
