"Through a collaboration with Austin-based Asian smokehouse Loro, Hattie B’s previewed its signature spicy poultry with several new dishes: a hot chicken rice bowl featuring Hattie B’s chicken bites with coconut rice, pickles, chicken skin furikake, Thai herbs, and a miso-based sauce; and a hot chicken sandwich with Hattie B’s chicken, pimento cheese, the same miso sauce, and chicken skin furikake. The pop-up also included oak-smoked collards with a spicy maple syrup, sesame noodles with furikake, wonton chips with burnt-ends cheese dip, and cocktails; the items were available Feb. 1–4 via dine-in and Uber Eats. Hattie B’s is also expected to open an Austin location on South Lamar in late February." - Nadia Chaudhury
