Battle Chicken coming soon

In honor of March Madness, PhoodAddict.com will soon be holding the Tournament of Chicken Champions. I'm still working on the exact ground rules and format, but I think the basics are going to go something like this:
  • It must be a chicken cutlet sandwich.
  • It must be within striking distance of South Philly, though I'm flexible if it's a really good sandwich. Basically, I need to be able to get there during my lunch hour.
  • All varieties (chicken parm, chicken cutlet Italian, etc) will be accepted, but only one sandwich from each location will be allowed.
  • We'll try eight different sandwiches, which will be ranked by me ahead of time.
  • They'll face off tournament style.
Desperately want your corner sandwich shop to be nominated? Feel strongly that Chick-fila, while not a traditional chicken cutlet sandwich, is so delicious and addictive that it should be a part of this competition? If you have any nominations, by all means post them.

In the meantime, a preview of a couple of potential participants: the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and the Chicken Parm from Pastificio located at 1528 Packer Ave (right next to Chickie's and Pete's). Only one can make it, and this is a tough choice: both are big and delicious, not unlike myself. Pastificio makes a bunch of great sandwiches, both hot and cold. (The Prosciutto Special will have to wait for a future battle) They also have great fresh pasta and a variety of Italian specialty items.

I'm leaning towards the Buffalo sandwich (top) because of the homemade sauce and blue cheese.
