Barberton Chicken (Serbian style) Restaurants in Barberton Ohio
1. White House
2. Milich's Village Inn
3. Belgrade Gardens

Wiki article here

Ha! Never heard of those restaurants but the recipes sure look familiar: Chicken fried in lard is great but i rarely make it, oven roasting is just easier; vinegar coleslaw is one of my favorite salads; only that rice/tomato dip is really nowhere near djuvec (on which it is based on, according to wiki), which is far more complex rice/tomato/meat based ratatouille type of dish. My chicken soup is better than what theirs looks like though, way too much noodles and not enough meat (I use mainly necks, legs and wings) and vegetables (carrots, parsnip, parsley root).
Another interesting bit, I get few whole chicken from time to time from local farmer and I cut it in the exactly the same way they do.

Most interesting. I've known this style of chicken dinner my entire life (and when I was in high school, I was employed part time at the White House, working the fryers on weekends). I knew the folks who owned these restaurants were Serbian immigrants and their children. I've always wondered how authentic the recipes were. Most food brought to the US by immigrants (Italian, Chinese, etc) becomes "Americanized" (spaghetti and meat balls; chop suey  ) The "hot sauce" (the tomato/rice dip as it's known in Barberton) may not be authentic, but damn, it's really good. Hope to try the real stuff someday. Thanks for commenting.
