Nitpickers will point out that Ralphs Fried Chicken once existed as part of a convenience store in Strathearn, and that it isn’t technically “new,” because it had a cult following for years. But, when the LRT — and redevelopment — led to the end of the strip mall that bodega called home, many fans feared it would be the end of Ralphs. Then, in 2023,
it reopened — not as something to be sold alongside cigarettes, gum and chocolate bars, but in its own dedicated space. That’s why, for us, it qualifies as new (and, heck, Edify sets the rules, anyway).
But be warned: Ralphs’ fans have multiplied — expect lineups for the famous fried chicken and wedges. If you’re hoping for a salad, try the grocery store next door, because this spot is dedicated to chicken and potatoes. Once a cult classic on the south side, Ralphs is now a full-on rock star in the north. —S.S.
