If you follow me, you’ll probably remember 
my visit to South City Fried Chicken post
when they were at Corporation Food Hall
down the street.  See it HERE.


They’re now back at  Preux & Proper
with their all-time favorites...
(Served at Lunch Only)


Nashville Fried Chicken Sandwich 

Served with an overnight buttermilk brined
premium Georgia chicken breast, Nashville rub, 
chili oil, house-made pickles, and cookout slaw 
on a buttered bun.

This spicy sandwich can be ordered as
hot / xxx / reaper / hellfire

I’m already sweating...


A lot of choices to choose from...

Lunch
Monday - Saturday
11 AM to 4 PM


But maybe something from the bar first...

They have really good cocktail too.


Chef Sammy Monsour 

The chef explaining all of their proteins and 
ingredients are from sustainable sources and
local farms.  They also grow their own micros,
as shown by the chef.

As someone who works with restaurants 
and chefs, not many use sustainable sources
to this extent, although more and more are
using local farms.

Sticking to What You Do Best...

Last week, I was invited to celebrate National Hamburger Day at The Counter in Studio City. I had been to The Counter before, but today was special and met a fellow tweeter who was a first timer. The menu is easy to follow and you actually build your own burger, well at least on paper. First you select the protein, then the cheese, other various toppings, a side sauce, and last is the type of bun you want. If you’re having a hard time deciding, don’t worry, they have signature burgers and sandwiches to choose from. Too many choices make me crazy sometimes. I get so confused when I see other restaurants trying to be everything to everyone. The food at these restaurants are usually horrible and thus end up closing. Would you be surprised if the pizza at a seafood restaurant wasn’t good? Doesn’t make sense to me. Attention Restaurant Owners: Pick something and do it really really well. In-n-Out hasn’t added anything to their menu in years and they’re still in business and GROWING! Being i

Stokes Purple® Wave Pie by Lauren Ko

Image
Getting stoked for the holidays can be delicious! I was invited to a Frieda’s  Specialty Produce event, featuring cookbook author, Lauren Ko. Her cookbook “Pieometry” is a wonderful book of pie recipes  and techniques that even a baking novice like me can do to make incredible  looking pies to impress my friends  and family. But First, a little bit about Frieda’s… I’m familiar that Frieda’s is a specialty produce  company, but I didn’t know that Frieda was the  first to introduce Chinese Gooseberry to the U.S. in 1962.  (before my time) After changing the name to Kiwifruit, the item took off! (Did you know?  I didn’t…) Frieda introduced other exotic items, maybe I’ll do a video at a later time. Frieda’s Specialty Produce  is a second generation, female owned, family business in Southern California. But tonight, it’s all about the Stokes Purple® Sweet Potato. Grown in California, this is a denser sweet potato  with good flavor. Just look for the Stokes Purple® Sweet Potato label Lauren
