* Where: The Red Lantern, 1301 Chestnut St.

* What: Have chicken salad any way you want it at this legendary Southside tavern. Breasts of chicken are boiled in a tasty stock and then chopped and mixed with onions, celery, boiled eggs and seasonings. You can enjoy it stuffed in a tomato or on top of lettuce greens for a healthful dish. Or have it on a sandwich with a side of chips, fries or big, crispy onion rings. “We make it fresh, and it’s really flavorful and one of our top sellers, particularly in the summertime,” said owner Wayne Rominger.

* Price: $5.95 (in a tomato or as a sandwich), $6.95 (on a chef salad).

* Phone: 757-4730.
