My whole family misses the big flapping chicken and the MOST awesome fried chicken ever. Those chicken livers were to die for also... yum.

I lived in Boston for 8 years and my favorite place to return to was always Fontaine's. The adam and eve chicken and ribs was to die for. I would love the recipe of how to make the delicious chicken.... thanks

I would really love to have that recipe - been thinking about that chicken for many years - my aunt lived in Roxbury and also worked at topsys so when we visited her we stopped in for the best chicken in the world.

Thanx, ann

I have been watching this site hoping you would reply to us also my family and I routinely go to restaurants that sell fried chicken hoping to find something even close the latest one skyline at marina bay quincy ma. that not only was expnsive but not even a good fried chicken dinner.I can't believe they actually claim to have the receipe!!!!I also would like to know if any ather member of the fontaine family is thinking of opening again? well hopinbg to hear from you.I also hope ypur dad and mpm are doing okay.Last I heard they were living in Miami good for them not good fo us fontaine fans.

The Bulletin had an article this week about Rick's Pub in Dedham and how they would be featuring Fontaine's (Topsy's) chicken soon.

Don't know if they'll share the recipe though -

Ricks is NOT going to be serving Topsy's. I talked to him today and he said it is too difficult.

Cruisers on main obtained the fried chicken recipe from Fontaine’s it is listed in this article. I tried it and it tastes the same but I think that Fontaine’s pressure cooked the meat to make it tenderer. But it is still really good. They also are cooking the rolls the same way.

Went to Cruiser's on main in Walpole last saturday. Chicken Alabama was the real thing. My husband got Chicken in a basket which was also great! Our son got a cheeseburger, I took a bite and it was so good, real comfort food here. They have the rolls, OMG had to order an extra! Took an Alabama home with the squash for mom, she wants to go with us this week end. Place is clean, freiendly and inexpensive. Could not beleive that we finally have our topsy's back. I could eat here three times a week for the price.
