You are correct. The secret recipe & the fryers that Mr. Guthrie originated are very sadly a thing of the past. It is definitely not the same recipe or taste.

I agree with the other commenter that the one off Jahnke has very cool interior, but go there for some pics & nostalgia— not the food— because it’s not even close to original Golden Skillet chicken.

I second Mongrel! Love that little shop, too! Add that to the list in my post because it’s all right there in Carytown: https://www.mongrelrva.com

Hi, fellow teacher (& Reading Specialist) here! 🙋🏻‍♀️ You are def. on the right track. 🙌🏽 Below I’ve listed 3 places, all in Carytown, that I think you should def. pop into:

1.) bbgb books: a bona fide bookstore for young & young at heart: https://www.bbgbbooks.com

2.) World of Mirth: hard to put into a single category; some might call it a toy shop, but it’s so much more: Toys for kids of all ages https://worldofmirth.com/

3.) Ten Thousand Villages: an eclectic and cool gift shop where part of the purchase/proceeds go right back to the countries where people made the items: https://www.tenthousandvillages.com/richmond

P.S. A 4th place: The local Dollar Tree might be a fun spot to run in & check out the latest wares! When I personally lived out of the US & would come home to visit for a week or so, I would always go into a Dollar Tree store & shop for my students! Things I couldn’t get off of the mainland.
Hope this helps! Enjoy your time here! ❤️
