"Loro is the brainchild of two Austin institutions—Franklin Barbecue and Uchi—resulting in an Asian-meets-Texan smokehouse with unique fusion flavors in a beautiful space. Their fried chicken sandwich is exceptional. It has smoked chicken that's thickly battered (along the lines of fish and chips), then fried and covered with a smoked hot sauce. For extra texture and flavor, there’s a citrus cabbage slaw and a layer of pickles." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
