Chicken abounds in east county. (Photo: TBD Staff)

So much chicken in Silver Spring. So, so very much chicken.

Today, the Montgomery County Board of Liquor License Commissioners approved a license for yet another chicken joint, Mr. Chicken (also known as “Señor Pollo” by, well, me). It opened earlier this month, but now they’ll be able to sell beer and wine.

The craving for chicken can seemingly never be satisfied in east county. There are at least four other chicken restaurants in downtown Silver Spring: the venerable Crisp & Juicy, Sabroso Grill, Nando’s Peri-Peri (not Peruvian and on its way), and yes, I’m including Chic-Fil-A, because they sell chicken, too.

And then there’s all those pollerías on the periphery and also over in Takoma Park, Langley Park (in Prince George's County), and Wheaton, with names such as Super Chicken Pio Pio and the drama-ridden El Pollo Rico. 

Man, are there any Web developers out there who feel like creating a chicken restaurant name generator?
