Harold’s Chicken Battle, Ford City Suitors, and Next Great Food Fest

In January, longtime Harold’s Chicken Shack CEO Kristen Pierce-Sherrod passed away. Now, a legal battle between her five children and her widower will determine who owns the multimillion-dollar brand going forward. We dive into the drama with contributors PJ Walker and Yareni Murillo. Plus, we’ve got ideas for what should replace Ford City Mall and which iconic Chicago foods deserve their very own food festival.
