Mushroom Gravy Smothered Chicken (Buttermilk fried chicken, 2 year aged Vermont cheddar)

4.8/5 The last sandwich of the summer, and along with it came the most heated philosophical discussion of the summer. There was some assembly required, because it came with gravy on the side. Once the gravy was introduced to the chicken and bread, it became one heck of a mess. Some complained that it was unable to be eaten as a sandwich, instead a fork and knife were essential. It could have used a little something extra, either a spicy kick or some pepper or some sort. Some people received overcooked chicken. However, the pros: the bread was amazingly soft and moist, the gravy surprisingly good Overall, it had amazing reviews and received a couple 5's. The fried pickles(not part of the sandwich) were pretty cool too.
