Once we realized there was a Guthrie's fried chicken restaurant in Tampa we ran over there to grab some food. Our all time favorite dish they serve is their "Gut Box." Inside the Gut Box reveals golden fried chicken tenders, crispy crinkle fries, creamy cole slaw, buttery Texas toast and Guthrie’s Signature Sauce. Guthrie's website says, "Our first chicken finger only restaurant was established in Auburn, Alabama in 1982. We are considered to be the pioneers of the fried chicken finger only restaurants. This new concept laid the foundation for a new market in the chicken segment of the restaurant industry."

Tampa has seen a lot of chicken restaurants pop-up lately and we’re not complaining. These restaurants don’t just offer delicious hot chicken sandwiches. Many of them are featuring the new traditional Nashville chicken sandwich. This type of sandwich is dipped in a Nashville hot sauce and topped with pickles and coleslaw on a soft bun. But if you're looking for traditional chicken fingers then Guthrie's is the perfect spot for you. You can also order a huge bucket of chicken tenders perfect for a big party plus you get six of their signature sauces. Their sauce reminds us of Raising Cane's pink peppery sauce that's just as addictive and delicious.
