In our third installment of Almost Oxford, I stretched the rules a little bit and headed out to Belden, MS which is a little far, but still within an hour of Oxford. As Red Cup’s resident gas station expert, I would feel like I was shirking my duties if didn’t immediately investigate Lee County’s oldest running service station reborn as the brand new “King Chicken Fillin’ Station”.
Oxford has badly needed definitively great fried chicken within reasonable driving distance. “Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken” is pretty good, but many would argue ours seems to have lost some of its Memphis magic.
