| - Yum! I caught dinner here with a friend of mine per his suggestion and I'm so glad this was his choice. When we arrived, he said, "They have a small menu. They do one thing, fried chicken, and they do it well." This response from my vegetarian friend perplexed me, but he then explained they also do fried tofu. How awesome!
He ordered the dinner fried tofu which came with mashed potato and veg. He offered me a bite of the fried tofu and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the late night which comes with collards and mac and cheese. I usually wouldn't order something with this pasta side, but I was feeling indulgent. Everything on my plate was astounding. The chicken was crispy, tender, and seasoned perfectly. The breading often separated from the meat, but it was still delicious. The bitterness of the collards paired well with the fatty, savory pork they are cooked with, and the mac and cheese was just as indulgent as I expected. I'm not sure the name of the pasta shape they used, but I liked how the cheese sauce coated it.
There were lots of other things to commend: my bourbon cocktail was strong yet balanced, the biscuits they brought out before the meal had golden, crispy edges, and the beignets we shared for dessert were dreamy with the chocolate and raspberry sauces.
This Isn't the type of food I would eat on a regular basis, but Soho is definitely on my list of places to check out again when I want some great fried chicken!
