Marsha’s Backstreet Cafe sells 30 to 40 pounds of chicken salad every day.Every so often, Marsha Bain changes up the menu at Marsha’s Backstreet Cafe on Brainerd Road, but one thing she never messes with is the chicken salad. It’s one of the reasons why people have made Marsha’s a regular stop for 14 years.
“We sell between 30 and 40 pounds of chicken salad a day,” she says.
The special recipe dish is served on sandwiches, on cold plates and in quart containers to go.
The other reason people come back to sample her Southern comfort food is that “everything is made fresh every day.”
“We cut our fresh fries here. The chicken fingers are made from scratch. Everything is fresh.”
