"Originally operated briefly as a downtown counter inside Bravery Chef Hall, this operation leveraged the owner’s family meat-distribution business to cut out the middleman and offer impressive prime cuts and specialty dishes — including chicken fried steak bites and a widely praised andouille sausage gumbo — at competitive prices. The counter closed in 2021, after which the owner pivoted to other retail and dining concepts." - Megha McSwain
