Paschal’s World Famous Chicken Batter Mix headed to the grocery stores

October 3, 2003 (Press Release) -- Paschal’s Foods; a division of The Paschal Restaurant Group - one of the oldest black owned restaurants in the country, is proud to announce the release of their first food product, Paschal’s World Famous Chicken Batter Mix. Currently the product is available via the internet at the Paschal’s Foods website, www.paschalsfoods.com, but will be making its debut in several major grocery store chains in the coming weeks. Director of Sales for North America, Lee Barker anticipates brisk sales of the product by people nostalgic for the down home goodness of Paschal’s chicken. The original recipe was developed over 50 years ago by Robert Paschal in a small soda shop unequipped with a stove. To offer the house specialty, Robert prepared the fried chicken at home and then had it delivered by taxi to the restaurant. Later the Paschal brothers acquired larger space across from the original location and fried chicken continued to be the restaurant’s biggest draw. Today Paschal’s Restaurants continue to thrive at Hartsfield International Airport and a new Northside Drive location in the heart of downtown Atlanta, GA. Each 3oz bag of chicken batter mix will prepare enough chicken to serve 4-6 people and retail at $1.95 a bag.
