"Opening for lunch and dinner on Friday, December 7 at 1300 South Pearl on Old South Pearl Street, this fast-casual chicken shop centers on plates of coal-fired rotisserie chicken served with grilled vegetables, salads and a selection of sides. With a deliberately simple menu, the venture emphasizes high-quality, locally sourced poultry — the owner's Fruition Farms is planned to eventually house a full flock — while keeping meals affordable for families (customers should be able to fill up for under $10). Beer, wine and cocktails will also be available. The project is led by James Beard Award–winning chef Alex Seidel in partnership with Adam Schlegel and longtime bar manager Randy Layman, and the team will donate 1 percent of all restaurant sales to rotating local charities." - Josie Sexton
