Not that awful minced stuff out of the plastic container like some delis. So I wanted to do an informal poll -- where's the best chicken salad in the Philly area. You can split it up into adulterated (walnuts, grapes, etc.) and unadulterated if you want! Blue skies....

One is the extension of DiBruno's on 18th St., between Chestnut and Walnut - I don't remember the name of it, but it is their catering/takeout place. You can buy a few ounces. It is a few doors up from their cheese shop. The other is at Day by Day, at 21st and Sansom. Neither of these places is cheap, but they are good.
