We would travel from Daly City just to eat at Gilberts on our way to visit cousins at 43rd and Ulloa. Best food this side of New York; it was the real deal. Last time I was there was 1978. I got set up on a blind date near there and decided to hit the place again for old time sake. It had really slipped and the chopped liver with chicken fat and onions was a back call prior to being with a stranger...she didn't even have a dog I could blame...then again, it could have been my personality that made the air a bit thick.
As for Chicken Delight, I think Colonel Sanders wrang its neck. Once a truck was delivering at an appartment near ours and my sister and her friends ripped off a few orders while the guy was not looking. On second thought, that must be the reason the went out of business.
