"Though Asta’s regular service features a tasting menu only ($120 for seven courses with a $75 beverage pairing, the restaurant occasionally partakes in what it calls “distractions,” or recurring daytime a la carte pop-ups.   The fried chicken and biscuits pop-up is particularly popular. It appears a few times throughout the year, generally on Saturday afternoons, and features fried chicken biscuit sandwiches for $13; sometimes, they’ll also serve another type of sandwich and something sweet. The best way to stay in the loop is by keeping an eye on Instagram." - Samantha Maxwell, Eater Staff
