"Launched as a "restaurant within a restaurant," this secret-menu concept is unlocked by scanning a QR code on your smartphone and focuses on Southern-style buttermilk fried and smoked chicken with bold, creative preparations. The menu includes a riff on Nashville hot chicken, a crispy hot-honey chicken sandwich, and a 'Bama chicken sandwich finished with house-made Alabama white barbecue sauce; entree options range from an Alabama chicken dinner (a half chicken marinated in apple cider and the house rib spice, slow-smoked and topped with white Alabama barbecue sauce) to a Mardi Gras chicken dinner (two Nashville-breaded breasts topped with Creole cream sauce studded with shrimp, andouille, and red and yellow peppers) and a classic Nashville hot chicken dinner. Sides follow suit—Nashville mac and cheese tossed with fried chicken bites, jalapeño cheddar cornbread, Hatch green chile fries, and loaded mashed potatoes—and the standout dessert is a deep-fried brownie battered in Oreo cookies. The concept is available at the brand’s Las Vegas–area outposts at Red Rock Resort and the District at Green Valley Ranch, with dine-in, takeout, and delivery options, and it draws on the restaurant’s barbecue heritage rooted in the founder’s grandmother’s lunch-shack cooking." - Susan Stapleton
