EAT THIS IMMEDIATELY: Pastrami fried chicken at Supper
Let it be known that Team Meal Ticket fully supports the Jewish deli-fication of absolutely anything and everything — they're a dying breed, as we're told, so any dill-pickled ingratiation into other cooking traditions is appreciated. But that's a tertiary-at-best reason to get down on the new pastrami fried chicken at Supper (926 South St.). Primary reason? IT IS FRIED CHICKEN WHICH IS DELICIOUS PREPARED IN THE STYLE OF PASTRAMI WHICH IS ALSO DELICIOUS. What a g-ddamn good idea.
Chef/owner Mitch Prensky brines legs and thighs in his own secret blend of pastrami herbs and spices ("I'm like the Colonel now," he says sardonically) ahead of smoking and eventually buttermilk-battering the dark meat with breading that contains even more unmistakable pastrami flavor. He throws the two-piecer in a paper-lined metal bucket along with a couple pickles and a fried matzo ball, or "Jewish hush puppy." Side all this up with a rammy of Russian dressing and you've got one hell of a Southern/Jewish shalom-y'all bar snack. In fact, it's only available at the bar, and it costs only $8 for everything. The chicken also makes an appearance on Supper's brunch menu, where it's tossed atop a caraway-flecked rye bread waffle (!). Eat this immediately.
