Why Are There Suddenly So Many Chicken Restaurants? | Eater

"Launched by the Thai Diner team in New York, Mommy Pai’s is a buzzy chicken-finger counter that stays accessible while experimenting with flavors: the chicken fingers are seasoned with lemongrass, coconut, or a garlic-soy-fish-sauce-coriander mix, available grilled or fried, and served with sauces like Makrut lime hot honey and a passionfruit-and-pink-peppercorn sweet-and-sour. Most menu items are gluten-free, chef and co-owner Ann Redding calls the concept very accessible (inspired by Gray’s Papaya), and sales patterns skew toward grilled fingers on weekdays and fried ones on weekends." - Bettina Makalintal
