The chefs get fries and thighs in every basket, starting with a delicate protein paired with a newfangled starch in the appetizer basket.

Style Weekly: Our Favorite Dishes of 2020 -The Southern Roll
Although its official name is a southern roll, that moniker doesn’t do justice to the aroma and taste of what arrives on the plate. Using a traditional egg roll as the jumping off point, Southern food staples are set into an egg roll wrapper, resulting in a rotund roll best eaten out of hand. The savory mélange marries salty fried chicken, tangy greens, sweet onions and mildly bitter cabbage in a crispy wrapper that barely contains all that goodness. It addresses so many pleasure points in my mouth that the homemade sweet honey sauce riding shotgun seems almost superfluous, until a dip into it proves otherwise. Fair warning, though, one of these before a meal will put a serious dent in your appetite. — K.N.

I don’t mind either way, but it’s notable in a town with restaurant service that at times can be questionable....Read More
