Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day?

Came here to say that. Barring a few contrarians, EVERYONE likes both watermelon and fried chicken. I know vegetarians who will admit that fried chicken tastes fantastic, even if they no longer eat it.

I also wanted to link to some info about the "Coon Chicken Inn" chain -- founded by a white guy, of course.
