“Supremely crunchy on the outside, slightly spicy,” gushes one reader, “it’s nothing short of amazing.” Not to mention nostalgically cheap. Little wonder that Wayside’s plain-Jane blue-and-white headquarters has been a regular stop for loyal locals (and homesick UVA undergrads) since the Nixon administration. Last year, after then-Cavalier men’s basketball coach Dave Leitao capped a losing season by bowing out in the first round of the ACC tournament, he stopped by Wayside—perhaps sensing that his days in Charlottesville were numbered—got in line, and ordered a 20-pack of chicken to go.
