Many people post pictures of their food on Facebook, but not many Alabama restaurants can claim Facebook’s founder shared a food photo from their eatery.

Jackson’s Fried Chicken in Camden made international news when Mark Zuckerberg posted a picture from there in 2017. He and his wife, Priscilla Chan, were touring all 50 states and they stopped for a bite at the chicken restaurant in the Black Belt’s Wilcox County.

Despite that celebrity visit, the star of the show at Jackson’s has always been the COB (chicken on a bun) Sandwich. The fried chicken sandwich comes on a sesame seed bun with a special sauce that makes it stand out from any chicken sandwich you might have tried somewhere else.

The taste is something to crow about – and the reason why the COB Sandwich is on the Alabama Tourism Department’s list of 100 Dishes to Eat in Alabama.
