"Although Irving Street Kitchen’s menu has always been a hit-and-miss hodgepodge of New American and Southern-ish cuisine, certain menu items are not to be missed: butterscotch pudding, fried chicken, and its perfectly crisp and buttery biscuits. Come during brunch for a plate of biscuits drizzled with house-made spicy honey or under poached eggs in its smoked salmon Benedict; be sure to hit the huge, open patio to people-watch." - Michelle Lopez
