Chicken Run
Moscow's first gourmet fast food joint
Chicken Run's viral video, featuring Instagram star and actress Irina Gorbacheva, claimed that they could do any dish in five minutes. We tested it, and while it wasn't exactly five minutes, it was pretty close. The place specializes in gourmet-quality food on the cheap. Tender chicken breast with quinoa garnish will cost you 310 rubles, as will stewed chicken leg tandoori style with potato mousse and smoked cheese.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
