"After cooking in Panama City, Paris, and New York, Adolfo Garcia III has returned to his native New Orleans and opened Chi Chi’s Chicken and Beer, an impossibly cool Freret Street shop serving a chaotic mashup of Korean fried chicken and Japanese sushi sandos. The menu focuses on four main categories: Korean chicken wings, fried chicken sandwiches, onigirazu (sushi sandwiches), and kakigōri (Japanese shaved ice), served alongside simple sides, three-liter towers of beer, and soju in a bustling, compact space adorned with a playful cartoon aesthetic." - Clair Lorell
