Fried chicken is just one of those foods that, when accompanied by the right side dishes and enjoyed in the right atmosphere, takes us back to Sunday supper at Grandma’s house. Mrs. White’s Golden Rule Cafe in Phoenix certainly fits the bill, serving up down-home classics guaranteed to satisfy even the most voracious appetites.

Unassuming as the building may be, few hungry passersby are able to resist its promise written in big, bold lettering.
