No frills, no fuss at Bruce’s Bar

We’re just days away from Legs & Cans, our fried chicken bonanza featuring drumsticks from nine of Michael Stern’s favorite fried chicken spots—including the subject of today’s review.

Since this event is designed to showcase how The Food Section connects readers with culinary experiences they’d never find otherwise, it’s the perfect introduction to our publication: If you know anyone living in the vicinity of downtown Aiken, South Carolina, please consider alerting them to this rare chance to eat free chicken, drink free wine, and spend quality time with Michael Stern. (And as an added incentive, our party’s from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. on Saturday; the city’s annual Hops & Hogs festival is scheduled for 5 p.m.-10 p.m.)
