As we wait with eager anticipation for Zak Pelaccio's new restaurant to open on South Third Street, a modest eatery around the corner on Warren Street, which had been a fixture in the 300 block for at least twenty years, has gone away. The circumstances surrounding the departure of Kennedy Fried Chicken are murky, involving an illegal sublet (it seems the business was sold without the knowledge or consent of the owner of the building where it was located), thousands in unpaid rent, and imminent eviction, and as a consequence lower Warren Street has lost a business reminiscent of the way things were and a source of fried chicken, "fish fry," and, on occasion, Indian food. 

There's an upside to the situation for dog walkers: this stretch of Warren Street is now free of chicken bones. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good.
