I don't think I've ever had gumbo.

A thing about fried chicken, for me, is the really good kind is fairly rare, most is mediocre, Crackerbarrel stuff, which is edible, but not elite.  I find pulled pork to be pretty consistent, there isn't much range from mediocre to superb, IMHO.

Now, elite chili vs elite Gumbo?  Huh.  Both can be mediocre, both can be superb.

Why is it not spelled mediocer?

Do you have Publix up there?

Their fried chicken is really good.

[Cincydawg]

We have Publix here, there is one next to the Kroger we favor.  Maybe their fried chicken is really good but what I have seen is pieces sitting around under a heat lamp.

Randall's (part of the Safeway chain) is a terrible grocery store for almost everything, but they do make really good fried chicken.  

Even better than H-E-B which does pretty much everything else, much better than every other grocery store in the state.

Gumbo
Red (easy choice)
Pulled Pork

Interesting.  If FORCED to choose, and I know this is really important today, I'm going:

Gumbo
White burgundy
Fried chicken

I THINK a $200 White is more sublime, for me, than the red, but man it's close.  If it's a $20 bottle, I might switch.  The cheaper whites are often a bit ... prosaic.  Palatable but not transcendent.

• Tough Call but Gumbo.  
• Red or White I don't care.  I've never been a wine drinker probably because I drank WAY TOO MUCH Boone's Farm and MadDog in my younger years and that killed any taste for wine that I might have developed.  
• Pulled Pork, not a close one for me.

I knew it - ya went from being a chemist flying a puddle jumper to one of those hoity - toity vino appraisers. What in the Wide,Wide World of Sports would Vince Dooley or Phil Niekro for that matter say if they  heard y'all talkin' yer sommelier way? Ya need to go to more dive bars and run that the hell out of you

[Wildcat4E]

Chili
Red
Pulled Pork

Current answers for lower carb consumption.  I can live with it.  Pretty freaking well.

Maybe a surprise to you all, but as much as I love a delicious bowl of Texas red, I'd actually pick gumbo.
