Video: How to Fry Chickennew
Martha Lou Gadsden's pink cinderblock restaurant has gotten quite a lot of buzz over the last year -- from The New York Times to Saveur -- but she's been serving soul food from her little kitchen for 28 years now. With the help of her daughter Debra, every weekday she churns out a small menu of homemade Southern fare, including everything from super-salty lima beans to pork chops to macaroni and cheese with a perfectly crispy crust. But most people go to Martha Lou's for the fried chicken.

Whether or not you were on board with The King of Limbs' obtuse, electro-organic sound, there's one thing pretty much any Radiohead fan can agree on: At just eight tracks that clock in under 38 minutes, it's too damn short.
