| - My experience at Pork & Beans was lovely. I found them on yelp and it was only a few blocks from my hotel. I originally was going to a fancier place for a chef's tasting menu but ended up opting for something more comforting after nursing a hangover earlier that day lol. I came in during happy hour and sat at the packed bar. There was one seat left just for me. I didn't drink for the aforementioned reason but the bartenders, excuse me, mixologists were legit. Shaking, stirring, sprinkling and garnishing their hearts out.
I ordered pork rinds, wings, and crab jalapeno fritters on happy hour; I later ordered the dirty fries because Yelp! The pork rinds, cracklins, chicharron depending on whom you ask and where they're from, were delicious. I've had some bland rinds. These were tastily seasoned and maybe even brined, because the flavor was throughout, before being dried and deep fried to puffy goodness.The wings were smoky and I ordered hot honey which made for a good combination. The fritters were hushpuppy-esque which I like so I could have done without the crab and just throw in some cheddar. All the textures of the dirty fries were awesome but honestly I was full by the time I ordered them so I packed them pretty soon after receiving them. Luckily they were delicious Monday for lunch. All the flavors: cheese, BBQ sauce, onion, jalapeno and smoky brisket had melded together (successfully making everyone in the break room jealous) and tasted great!
